ToDo list for v0.1.0

[trappitsch]

The first batch is done, but it would be good to get some more things in before giving the thing a version number. Here are some milestones for v0.1.0:

• Testing of the microscope and cameras
• Menu for Settings, Exit, etc.
• Settings panel that is re-applied on startup
  • Rotation of image
  • Mirroring
  • Remember path
  • Set image and video format
• Framerate and resolution control (hand in hand)
• Possibility to operate the whole app without mouse
• Fix crashes while recording video

@lindlou: This was my todo list for v0.1.0 from quite some time ago. Have a look at what you think / check off tasks that you have finished. We can discuss other improvements and extend the to do list here :)

Use init script toggle: what does that mean?
Move path to save images to to settings: In our case it is more practical to have it in the main window, because for every user and every experiment we use a different path, so we modify it almost every time we use the app.
init.py: What is it?

This is connected to the last, but I think is obsolete by now.

Sounds good. Might still be good though to save the path whenever a photo is taken in a hidden setting, just so in case the software gets restarted, the user is still in the same folder. But I agree, this can be a hidden setting that is only indirectly set.

init.py: What is it?

User initialization script, instead of settings. Kind of obsolete by now.

Is it ok if I modify the todo list (already did it once) or should I post a second one?

[trappitsch]

no go ahead and modify it. i tossed a few things already :)

[lindlou]

About the path: I already implemented a setting called default_directory, which is the path set at startup (in our case, ~/Desktop). Do you think it would be better to remove this setting and remember the previous path instead (for instance ~/Desktop/Louis or ~Desktop/Alison?

[trappitsch]

Yes, I think that would be better. ~/Desktop can be the default path if no settings file was saved, but then I would switch to the last used path.
