'''Comments and Discusions about Wishes'''

[Artur Trzewik] 06.09.2004

[Michael Heca] = MH

'''ad 3''' - This functionality is available from Classview (Create Instance)

MH: This objects are not saved in db/source code. 

'''ad 5''' - I thought registry were better way for windows (more chic). Perhaps import and export function for preferences.

MH: I am developing on Linux and more version of Windows, with one home dir on net. It's hard to synchronize registry.
And sometime after crash the registry is lost. I believe in file. If is ~/.xotlide in home dir, i prefer use it, otherwise registry.

'''ad 12''' - planned in next release.

'''ad 14''' - Metakit is no SQL database. Addapting XOTclIDE for it would be quite hard. Anyway metakit offers bad multiuser support. 

'''ad 15''' - I thougt about adapting [Visual Tcl] as Plug-In for it. But the main problem is not to build tk gui but offer OO Gui framework. Good were something like swing or .NET window forms widget set, which have also design time support.

----
[daapp] Using [Visual Tcl] for gui building is bad idea, VTcl produce
very bad source code, [TkBuilder] produce much better source code. My wish -  is something like Path browser from Python IDLE, e.g. browser for directories and folding for files in it.
