Don't autoraise window on getting focus

Schneelocke — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 17:34:08 -0000

Hi,

it seems that currently, ViRC automatically raises its
window when it gets the focus. This should not be done,
though (or at least should be configurable), as it
interferes with the X11-style focus policy that can be
enabled in Windows with TweakUI.

With this focus policy, it is not necessary to click on
windows to give them focus; rather, the window in which
the mouse cursor currently resides automatically has
the focus. Combined with ViRC's behaviour, this means
that ViRC automatically raises its window when the
mouse cursor enters it, which typically is not what the
user wants; in particular, it's an annoying issue when
ViRC is being run maximized, as it is then not possible
to go back and forth between other windows above it
without raising ViRC and thus hiding all other windows.

DCC SEND file selector isn't resizeable

Anonymous — Thu, 10 Jun 2004 00:18:46 -0000

The file selector window isn't resizable when selecting
a file to DCC. 6 lines by two columns on a modern
1024x768 screen gets annoying when browsing a folder
with 100+ files :)

/mode nick +x doesn't work for setting user mode

Jesse McGrew — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 00:05:21 -0000

Users who are familiar with other clients expect to be
able to set their user mode with /mode <nick> <flags>.
The /mode command should at least show an informative
message when used in this way, instead of being sent
straight through to the server and causing an
unexpected error message.

The user mode syntax that ViRC has used for 8 years is
/umode <flags>.

Channel menu items for op commands don't work for halfops

Jesse McGrew — Thu, 11 Mar 2004 04:23:56 -0000

Half-opped users (+h) are able to perform certain op
commands, but the menu items on the channel nick list
popup are only enabled when the user is opped. Either
the op magic should work for both ops and halfops, or
there should be a separate magic for halfops.

WORKAROUND: The halfop commands can still be used by
entering them (/mode, /kick, etc.) or by right-clicking
an Active Nick and using that popup (which has no magic).

Assigning to global arrays is slow

Jesse McGrew — Mon, 08 Mar 2004 02:11:52 -0000

Assigning to an array with @ or @s is inefficient,
because the array is converted to a list for the
variable adder callback.

Array references inside $() don't work with spaces

Jesse McGrew — Mon, 08 Mar 2004 02:10:58 -0000

Array references in expressions don't work when the key
has a space: $($foo[bar baz]) => 0

Problem with switch, backslash, and brackets

Jesse McGrew — Mon, 08 Mar 2004 02:10:14 -0000

This code doesn't work...

@l $symbol = [\]
switch $raw
case $symbol:
messagebox ok
case expr [$@] == [$symbol]
messagebox almost ok
case else
messagebox oops
endswitch

Menu commands/functions don't support user defined trees

Jesse McGrew — Mon, 08 Mar 2004 02:08:38 -0000

Commands such as LoadFromMenuTree, GetMenuTreeItems,
LoadFromMenuItem, and FireMenuItem only work with
built-in menu trees, but they fail for user defined trees.

DCC list doesn't like to stay on top

Jesse McGrew — Mon, 08 Mar 2004 02:07:15 -0000

The DCC list sometimes hides behind the main ViRC
window, and must be hidden and reshown to make it visible.
