XRCed Wish List
1. A simple way to add support for custom (read "written by you") controls. I think it might be really cool to only have to add a function that returns a dict of the attributes that can be set on the control, and then add the module that contains the control to a list somewhere accessible from the XRCed GUI. --EliGolovinsky
One way to approach this is to use a plugin-in or drop-in architecture where every widget type has it's own module located in a certain directory. The module contains everythign that is needed to allow XRCed to support that widget, instead of having bits and pieces scattered around the XRCed code. When XRCed starts up it can load all modules in this directory and build it's menus and control bar based on what it finds loads. --RobinDunn
2. A graphic way to put controls on a container at a fixed position with a fixed size. I even think this should be the default behavior to ease the use of XRCed for first time users. --EliGolovinsky
3. A way to define which event handlers the control should handle. The code generator (pywxrc) will then be able to generate empty overridable methods. This one is already on mys list and will hopefully be implemented soon. --EliGolovinsky
4. Code generation for languages other than Python. I will probably implement the C++ code generation, but maybe we should help our wxRuby and wxPerl friends as well. --EliGolovinsky
5. Refactor to make it easy to embed XRCed functionality into other applications, such as full fledged IDEs or RAD tools. --RobinDunn
6. An option to always set default 5pt borders on all sides for all new controls. --EliGolovinsky
7. A way to select multiple controls for delete / cut / copy --EliGolovinsky
8. The ability to select a group of controls/containers and say "wrap these in a sizer of this kind". --DonDwiggings
9. Drag-and-drop of controls for reorganization. One issue I found while trying to use XRCed the other day was that trying to insert a predecessor sibling was a bit of a pain. Offering a drag-and-drop method for moving around entire sections of the tree would be nice. One would need to be careful about whether a drop is 'insert as sibling before', 'insert as sibling after', and 'add as child', though I believe the child case is solvable with temporary dummy controls (you only need to add siblings). --JosiahCarlson
