Issues:

  • Add nodcache version check.
  • Mutex. Prevent multiple instances of noodle from writing metadata simultaneously.
  • Disallow edits on the (base and (can be allowed with added automation)) meta layer(s).
  • Implement temp files to avoid data-loss if we crash during a save.
  • Deprecate and remove .untracked layer.
  • Improve behaviour of out command. Current behaviour is unintuitive.
  • Missing rotate command.
  • Find equivalents of xdg-mime to enable open command on MacOS and Windows.
  • Allow special characters in doodle names per OS or filesystem with additional noodle constraints. This also ties into the next point.
  • Fix autocomplete to allow certain special characters and quoted doodle names “like this.jpeg”, “or-like-this”. This should also fix the issue where it doesn’t always autocomplete file extensions. No backslash escaping.
  • Don’t erase previous output when redrawing tree.
  • flatten should not create a layer if the selection is empty.
  • project should not create a layer if the selection is empty.
  • Fix monochrome. Sometimes it uses white when it should use neutral.
  • Layertrace colouring should always prioritize the current layer.
  • Allow renaming directories.

Features:

  • Fix anything that says NOT_IMPLEMENTED in the code.
  • Implement replace command. The replacement doodle can be pre-existing.
  • Implement bubble command. Don’t forget the interaction with merge. If you merge witha directory there’s potential for bubbling.
  • Implement select inverse subcommand. It inverts the selection based on the current display.
  • Implement export command.
  • Implement .noodle/ignore file
  • Implement auto-select behaviours for complex manipulations.
  • Implement auto-rotate behaviours for navigation commands.
  • Add .noodle/ignore to ignore subdrectories and files.
  • Select by layer.
  • Implement explore command.
  • Add bang ! for executing shell commands in noodle REPL.
  • A procedurally animated version of the N in about.
  • Autorotate
  • Implement splore command. Uses meta layer to find doodles near the subgraph.
  • Implement around command. Like focus followed by splore in one.
  • Autoselect
  • Ctl+Space should toggle selection on the root doodle.

Improvements:

  • remove command should be contextual. That is, it should account for the current display not just the layermask.
  • Multithreading for status calculations.
  • Improve character support in autocomplete.
  • Tighter integration with std::filesystem. Helps with OS agnosticism.
  • Integration with std::algorithm (improves readability).
  • Better colour-picking algorithm that more sensibly covers the gamut. Currently, colours are evenly interpolated along an RGB-triangle-outline.
  • Improve argument parsing in repl (nicer code).
  • Formatting for the about blurb.
  • Formatting for the output of status.
  • text should use the CalculateBaseLink() algo to put the new file in a good path, not just the root
