mindrobots: At one point, it just hang. CPU usage on my laptop went to 25% and 
guess which process was using 25%? I haven't been able to recreate this problem.

trodoss: I had this happen when using the "run" functionality, and it seemed to 
hang during the serial port communication. I ended up having to restart my 
computer in order to communicate with the COM port.

Need PDF files in help.

We need an ICON for the IDE.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose proper reset type
2. Click reset button
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Board should reset. No affect.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

The port must be opened for reset signal to have any affect.
If port is closed, it should be temporarily opened for the operation.

Currently there is no support for opening UTF-16 .spin files in the IDE.
Should not allow user to open them until support is available.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Found only on machine with LPT1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect only serial ports.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Some users would like line numbers in source.
This feature will take lots of work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Menu-File-New
2. Edit file and Menu-File-Save (Ctrl+S in windows). Program asks user to name 
file and save as ....
3. Menu-Project-Set Project (F4)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This should make a project named after the newly saved file, but doesn't.

IDE did not report compile failures.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Click debug F8 with terminal.
2. Notice not all output appears even with end of line in printf.

This is just one terminal issue. There is a performance issue also.
Using the built in loader terminal is probably the best option.
We'll see.

Users would like the program to remember the directory.
Having to rebrowse can be painful.

This problem is seen sometimes during code development.
Need repeat-by steps.

[deleted issue]

One issue for Linux/Mac appears to be using a fully qualified path name.
We don't have the luxury or need of using the PATH variable like in Windows.
In Windows, the build can fail without having the PATH set. I'm guessing that 
Linux/Mac won't have that issue since all system libraries are already 
available to all programs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. right click project item
2. add/delete does not always show

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
add/delete menu should always appear when right click on a project file-name

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Associate SimpleIDE with *.side files.
2. Double-click to launch SimpleIDE.
3. The project clicked does not open.

Need to investigate opening the project clicked instead of the last project.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press New button
2. See new "untitled" editor tab.
3. Press Save button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Editor should ask for "save as" and rename the file.
Editor makes the file tab empty.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Note open project.
2. Menu->Project->Recent project.
3. Some old project files hang around.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Old project files should close.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

A request/consideration. Can the port reset and terminal display/hide functions 
be moved to separate buttons? At times, I think it might be nice to be able to 
hide/display the terminal without resetting and also be able to reset without 
toggling the terminal. If I close the terminal window, I may want to get it 
back without resetting the Prop. (I may have just missed a way to do this)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click properties wrench for dialog.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
<program name> Compiler Properties
Side Compiler Properties

Installer should add specified path to system path variable.

Some users still like paper copies.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download MacOsX package
2. Extract package
3. Try to run SimpleIDE

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Program is supposed to launch but I just get a message saying I can't run that 
program with my current Mac.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.7.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I will try to compile from source but a universal Application file could be 
neat.

Today SimpleIDE only uses binary archive libraries.
It would be useful to also create them.

How can this be done in a future SimpleIDE release?

It would be fairly easy to add a step for everything except the main file to be 
stuffed into a library. It would be possible to select whether or not to build 
a library project from the project options.

This might happen after the Spin/PASM port is ready.

Today the properties dialog only asks for compiler info.

User preferences such as tab key character count and highlight colors should be 
on and "Editor" preferences tab. Look and feel things like word-wrap enable for 
compile status window should be on a "General" preferences tab.

Example.

.==========.--------------------.
| Compiler |  Editor |  General |
|          =================================.
|                                           |
|                                           |
|                                           |
'==========================================='

In some IDE's you can right-click on a function or macro symbol to find the 
definition. This is a very handy feature. It is possible to implement this by 
using a ctags process. Of course back and forward navigation buttons would be 
useful and probably necessary for using the feature.

Would like board type saved in project file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. enter in editor: freq = (freq << 1) | (freq >> 31)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
<< 1) | (freq >> gets highlighted and should not be.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Right now Add File Copy checks for "not output" files.
This is probably not the best approach.

Some users may like to have the the Set Project Icon disabled if a project is 
loaded.

Help has TMI - too much information.

Changing it to a modified splash window with a link to simple-ide on the web 
for User Guide and option to disable at startup.

Save and Close Dialog Cancel does not work and should be removed.
Should ask yes / no to save, and no should be the default.

See SpinSIDE change # 339

Parallax requests adding Spin/PASM compiler support to SimpleIDE.
Expect to use BSTC and/or Roy's SPIN compiler. Other compilers may be used.

Would like the Editor cursor to automatically go to the column under the first 
character of the previous line when entering code a line at a time.

This is minimalist behavior - some syntactic detection and positioning would be 
nice, but not really necessary.

Now that SimpleIDE can handle saving/restoring UTF8, the terminal needs to deal 
with it too.

Some users would like different fonts.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

User want's number of bytes to be displayed instead of KBytes.

Compile errors should only be shown in the compile status panel.
Need to make error dialog simply print a message referring to status panel.

Someone requests that build status "error:" get highlighted in red.

User's report that "Add File Copy" doesn't work.
Problem is in the copy method .... doh!

User would like a new project feature. An open project feature may also be 
useful to simplify finding the .side project file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run program.
2. Click Run (F10) button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Program should stay responsive. Instead it stalls.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Right-click project, select add.
2. Cancel add.
3. Click hammer for build (F9)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
IDE should compile, but crashes.

This is similar to the loader issue.

It will only be resolved by combining the loader and compile process in an
external program that can be managed by an asynchronous process->start().

Need replace in addition to search.

Found during test with Daniel

There are 2 font increase commands possible. They are listed because of 
addAction() connections.

Probably good to either remove Ctrl+Shift+'=' or find a way to connect both 
that and Ctrl+'=' to the same function.

Dialog has .ccp in file list instead of .cpp .

Need close and close all file feature.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start installer.
2. Go to Select Compiler Folder
3. Change from C:\propgcc to some other path
4. Start SimpleIDE
5. Compile fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Text from "Select Compiler Folder" should be added to PATH.
It is ignored and C:\propgcc is added which results in compile failures.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Installing Windows SimpleIDE "Select Compiler Folder" in a location other than 
C:\propgcc will cause compile to fail. User can use a different path, but the 
PATH variable must be set accordingly for that. Please only install to 
"C:\propgcc" as shown below if possible.
