3 Prevent the ablility of a user to close the original joblist page.
5 Further testing of restore with .mod
7 Test left pane of restore with 2 windows drives in one backup job.
9 User preferences. With log to stdout options.
10 Have settings for defaults of limits on joblist
12 Add context sensitive options for most commands
13 status dir on page select director item
14 All items with jobid= that I thought could work from joblist are done.
19 Option in joblist like with restore from jobid but restore populating timestamp
22 Resolve issue of connection during restore selection. Could go with preempt of
23 connections. (Kern is to work on)
25 ========LOW priority items:
26 Human readable in joblist for purged, joblevel and job type.
28 Possibly a stack of past screens so that when you open a window from another,
29 closing would bring the previous one back.
31 Is there a way to query the director/database for whether a storage is currently
32 mounted so I am not presenting both mount and unmount to the user??
34 Is there a way to identify a slot as having a cleaning tape???
35 (Kern says more work needs to be done in bacula with autochangers)
37 See if there is a solution to images fun with designer other than:
38 %s/<iconset>[\.\/]*:images/<iconset>images/g
39 %s/<iconset>images/<iconset>..\/images/g
41 Think about good ways to clean up the Console creation part of the
43 ========================================================
46 A window showing a list of jobs and defaults. Defaults can be gotten in manner
47 similar to what the first restore window does.
49 A window showing a list of schedule resources.
51 Kern discussed windows showing statistics like web based interfaces.
52 ========================================================
55 The ablility to modify configuration files to create jobs, schedules, filesets
56 and any other director resources.
58 The ablility to modify configuration files to create storage resources.
60 Add a status dir graphical interface. It would auto update every ?? seconds
61 and have a list of scheduled jobs, and in the que to run jobs that could be
62 cancelled graphically.
64 Add a status client window. Keep updating showing what file is being
67 bRestore add code to get working.
69 ===========================================================
71 ===========================================================
73 I'm not sure about this one?? Things seem to work and I did not do a
74 thing to make it happen: the "dir" is a member of Console
76 - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which
77 director/console to use. Currently they always use the single
78 global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right).

83 Purging not working from console or from context sensitive.
84 This was a confusion with the restore command. Now resolved.
86 Can produce a segfault by attempting to restore from a restore job. In
87 pre-restore, prevent a job in the list from being a restore job.
89 Need to figure out the functionality and inteligence that the last restore
90 window should have and give it to it. Right now it shows drop downs with no
93 Allow for selecting multiple jobs to restore from in joblist. Right click
94 restore from job works, but not with multiple selected jobs.
96 See if it would be possible to have user provided console text show up in a
99 Get status codes in dropdown for joblist select.
101 Create class to display messages from a specific job. Want the ability to
102 create an instance of that class from joblist.
104 Color code termination code in joblist. I also want a table to convert
105 termination code into human readable text.
107 show purged flag in joblist. Don't have purge option show if already purged.
110 MainWin::setContextMenuDockText
111 MainWin::setTreeWidgetItemDockColor
114 preempt all connections to console with
115 if (!is_connectedGui())
116 or some other mechanism. May find more as users start finding them.
118 Create documentation for any other developers interested in creating
119 new classes to add more pages. Explain how to use the pages class
120 and about not populating until the tree widget is clicked etc...
122 Add numerous are you sure dialog boxes. Like are you sure you want to
123 delete/purge that volume. Show a little of the documentation about what
124 the consequences of delete or purging are.
126 A Tree widget context sensitive menu option and class to jump from known job
127 to surf the filestructure on the job.
128 This was future, but it is kind of done with restore from jobid
130 Get rid of "Warning: name layoutWidget is already used" when make uic's restore.ui
132 Create the ability to start a restore from joblist. Right click, select
133 "restore from Jobid=xx" create an instance of restore defaulting in the jobid
134 or a list of selected jobs.
136 Update README describe bat.conf.example to bat.conf
138 Test restore and get anything not working, working.
139 Add inteligence to prerestore.
141 Color code Media Red->Error Append->green Full/Used->Yellow
143 Get restore into stack.
144 Should the jobs dialog be turned into a page as well??
145 Possilbe: Turn run and label into docked pages. (remove button bar buttons??)
147 Where and bootstrap are confused in runjobs of restore.
148 This was just the labels.
150 Create list of what does not work.
151 From what I can tell, just the restore window on the left.
153 Add option to LIMIT the number of jobs shown in all jobs page for users with
154 multiple hundreds to thousands of jobs.
156 Play with includes to Make these compiles shorter.
157 moved includes of of includes and into files only console.h should be long
159 relabel storage=DDS3 oldvolume=ddsvol003 volume=dds3vol003 slot=3 pool=dds3_hope
160 in label slot spinner, limit the upper to the value of slots for that storage.
162 Fix bug in myth box not working with .sql query="" command.
163 This was a fix in mysql
165 Figure out how to get tables like Joblist to do the equivalent of double clicking
166 on the separating lines between each of the headings.
167 Tried the hard way first. Oops.
169 If the console command line entry docked widget gets the focus, make
170 m_currentConsole the top widget by setting the treewidgetitem selected.
171 Did this in MainWin::input_line almost better to let the person see
172 whatever they want until they hit enter.
174 Set Window titles to reflect what director it is.
176 Must:: get page selector to follow undocked windows. Otherwise
177 current console won't be current.
179 Re-add class for storage, I accidentally reverted because I left
180 it on my laptop. This is why I like committing often.
182 Add class for FileSets
184 Another idea for what you have implemented:
185 - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly
186 should be nested under the item that creates them more like a
189 For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under
190 "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of
191 Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base
192 this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3
193 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit
194 confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting
195 multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each
196 Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can
197 be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping
198 information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what
199 happens for a directory tree.
202 My original concept was to put these in a tabbed widget. Your Idea may
203 make for a cleaner user experience. I like it. It could save the
204 effort of getting a tabbed widget to work.
207 - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by
208 perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current
209 and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do
210 for the console, though some color blind people may have
213 - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current
214 director and set the current console as well.
216 Remove DoubleClicking, From pages class not needed any more.
218 Broken with multiple directors:
219 - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but
220 none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk
221 to it. They will most likely talk to the first director.
223 - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current
224 console (m_console) and also set its director as the current
225 director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class.
227 - When any page is selected, we must set both the current
228 director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this
229 page is connected to.
232 m_topItem has been changed to Console::directorTreeItem()
233 m_currentConsole->directorTreeItem(); returns disired treeWidgetItem
235 - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each
236 page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't
237 currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console
238 to each page widget constructor.
241 m_currentConsole is saved in each page subclass's m_console. This value
242 is set by all but the console class calling Pages::pgInitialie() in it's
245 In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple
246 simultaneous directors work.
251 If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only
252 have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select
253 which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but
254 dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so
255 any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run
256 two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list
257 of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
