3 Add context sensitive options for most commands
4 status dir on page select director item
5 All items with jobid= that I thought could work from joblist are done.
10 ========LOW priority items:
11 Use settings object to size the restore window. Similar to the saving of the
12 state of the main window.
14 Human readable in joblist for purged, joblevel and job type.
16 Possibly a stack of past screens so that when you open a window from another,
17 closing would bring the previous one back.
19 Is there a way to query the director/database for whether a storage is currently
20 mounted so I am not presenting both mount and unmount to the user??
22 Yes, but it requires being able to directly connect to the SD (at least
26 Is there a way to identify a slot as having a cleaning tape???
27 (Kern says more work needs to be done in bacula with autochangers)
29 Yes, there is a cleaning prefix for Volume labels defined in
30 the DIR (not currently available to bat). Typically it is CLNxxx
31 and by looking at the database, you can see these cleaning
34 See if there is a solution to images fun with designer other than:
35 %s/<iconset>[\.\/]*:images/<iconset>images/g
36 %s/<iconset>images/<iconset>..\/images/g
38 Images that are in the binary are referenced with :/images/...
39 This is a Qt convention. If the image is in a file, it
40 can be referenced directly, but for the most part, I prefer
41 images in the binary (not lost, not accidently deleted, no
42 installation problems, ...
44 Think about good ways to clean up the Console creation part of the
47 I don't think it is bad as it is. There is, however, a construct
48 called a Factory that could more or less automate this in one
51 ========================================================
54 A window showing a list of jobs and defaults. Defaults can be gotten in manner
55 similar to what the first restore window does.
57 A window showing a list of schedule resources.
59 A list of message resources??
61 Kern discussed windows showing statistics like web based interfaces.
63 I think the above is very important.
65 ========================================================
68 The ablility to modify configuration files to create jobs, schedules, filesets
69 and any other director resources.
71 The ablility to modify configuration files to create storage resources.
73 Add a status dir graphical interface. It would auto update every ?? seconds
74 and have a list of scheduled jobs, and in the que to run jobs that could be
75 cancelled graphically.
77 Add a status client window. Keep updating showing what file is being
80 bRestore add code to get working.
82 May be in brestore, find a file by name, find a directory by name
84 ===========================================================
86 ===========================================================
88 I'm not sure about this one?? Things seem to work and I did not do a
89 thing to make it happen: the "dir" is a member of Console
91 - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which
92 director/console to use. Currently they always use the single
93 global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right).
95 I'm working on this (kes). It is not so simple, but moving forward
98 ============================================================
100 ============================================================
101 Preferences for the messages timer.
103 Get the 5 second bring to bottom of console to stop
105 joblist cancel a running job.
107 Fixes to final restore widgets.
109 Set default for replace in run restore job to "always"??????
111 Option in joblist like with restore from jobid but restore populating timestamp
114 User preferences. With log to stdout options.
115 Have settings for defaults of limits on joblist
117 Resolve issue of connection during restore selection. Could go with preempt of
118 connections. Temporary resolution is in. (Kern is to work on)
120 Further testing of restore with .mod
121 Tested a few things, not all.
123 Add fileset to joblist.
125 Test left pane of restore with 2 windows drives in one backup job.
126 Yup, id didn't work, now it does.
128 Purging not working from console or from context sensitive.
129 This was a confusion with the restore command. Now resolved.
131 Can produce a segfault by attempting to restore from a restore job. In
132 pre-restore, prevent a job in the list from being a restore job.
134 Need to figure out the functionality and inteligence that the last restore
135 window should have and give it to it. Right now it shows drop downs with no
138 Allow for selecting multiple jobs to restore from in joblist. Right click
139 restore from job works, but not with multiple selected jobs.
141 See if it would be possible to have user provided console text show up in a
144 Get status codes in dropdown for joblist select.
146 Create class to display messages from a specific job. Want the ability to
147 create an instance of that class from joblist.
149 Color code termination code in joblist. I also want a table to convert
150 termination code into human readable text.
152 show purged flag in joblist. Don't have purge option show if already purged.
155 MainWin::setContextMenuDockText
156 MainWin::setTreeWidgetItemDockColor
159 preempt all connections to console with
160 if (!is_connectedGui())
161 or some other mechanism. May find more as users start finding them.
163 Create documentation for any other developers interested in creating
164 new classes to add more pages. Explain how to use the pages class
165 and about not populating until the tree widget is clicked etc...
167 Add numerous are you sure dialog boxes. Like are you sure you want to
168 delete/purge that volume. Show a little of the documentation about what
169 the consequences of delete or purging are.
171 A Tree widget context sensitive menu option and class to jump from known job
172 to surf the filestructure on the job.
173 This was future, but it is kind of done with restore from jobid
175 Get rid of "Warning: name layoutWidget is already used" when make uic's restore.ui
177 Create the ability to start a restore from joblist. Right click, select
178 "restore from Jobid=xx" create an instance of restore defaulting in the jobid
179 or a list of selected jobs.
181 Update README describe bat.conf.example to bat.conf
183 Test restore and get anything not working, working.
184 Add inteligence to prerestore.
186 Color code Media Red->Error Append->green Full/Used->Yellow
188 Get restore into stack.
189 Should the jobs dialog be turned into a page as well??
190 Possilbe: Turn run and label into docked pages. (remove button bar buttons??)
192 Where and bootstrap are confused in runjobs of restore.
193 This was just the labels.
195 Create list of what does not work.
196 From what I can tell, just the restore window on the left.
198 Add option to LIMIT the number of jobs shown in all jobs page for users with
199 multiple hundreds to thousands of jobs.
201 Play with includes to Make these compiles shorter.
202 moved includes of of includes and into files only console.h should be long
204 relabel storage=DDS3 oldvolume=ddsvol003 volume=dds3vol003 slot=3 pool=dds3_hope
205 in label slot spinner, limit the upper to the value of slots for that storage.
207 Fix bug in myth box not working with .sql query="" command.
208 This was a fix in mysql
210 Figure out how to get tables like Joblist to do the equivalent of double clicking
211 on the separating lines between each of the headings.
212 Tried the hard way first. Oops.
214 If the console command line entry docked widget gets the focus, make
215 m_currentConsole the top widget by setting the treewidgetitem selected.
216 Did this in MainWin::input_line almost better to let the person see
217 whatever they want until they hit enter.
219 Set Window titles to reflect what director it is.
221 Must:: get page selector to follow undocked windows. Otherwise
222 current console won't be current.
224 Re-add class for storage, I accidentally reverted because I left
225 it on my laptop. This is why I like committing often.
227 Add class for FileSets
229 Another idea for what you have implemented:
230 - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly
231 should be nested under the item that creates them more like a
234 For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under
235 "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of
236 Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base
237 this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3
238 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit
239 confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting
240 multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each
241 Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can
242 be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping
243 information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what
244 happens for a directory tree.
247 My original concept was to put these in a tabbed widget. Your Idea may
248 make for a cleaner user experience. I like it. It could save the
249 effort of getting a tabbed widget to work.
252 - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by
253 perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current
254 and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do
255 for the console, though some color blind people may have
258 - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current
259 director and set the current console as well.
261 Remove DoubleClicking, From pages class not needed any more.
263 Broken with multiple directors:
264 - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but
265 none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk
266 to it. They will most likely talk to the first director.
268 - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current
269 console (m_console) and also set its director as the current
270 director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class.
272 - When any page is selected, we must set both the current
273 director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this
274 page is connected to.
277 m_topItem has been changed to Console::directorTreeItem()
278 m_currentConsole->directorTreeItem(); returns disired treeWidgetItem
280 - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each
281 page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't
282 currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console
283 to each page widget constructor.
286 m_currentConsole is saved in each page subclass's m_console. This value
287 is set by all but the console class calling Pages::pgInitialie() in it's
290 In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple
291 simultaneous directors work.
296 If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only
297 have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select
298 which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but
299 dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so
300 any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run
301 two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list
302 of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
