Beta Notes: ----------- BUGS - Not yet recognizing the insert key state correctly - Spell engine doesn't always stop checking when you are in the About,Match or Options dialog - Spellguard does not work if started from a TVFS v2.08 drive under WARP - Sometimes SpellGuard will not turn on the spell engine when started from the STARTUP folder. Selecting the Spell Checker On check box a couple of times will start the spell checking. - No install procedure I am basically looking for user interface suggestions. for After using this a few days come back and read these ideas: - Instead of float window to top until next keystroke, float for a user defined number of seconds. - Have a window the size of a title bar always floating on top of all windows - Reset the word being spelled after a user defined timeout (this may be useful while on-line reading threads of messages) Things that need to be done: - Online help - install procedure - Dictionary browser and maintenance program - Registration dialog - Other spell checking? (let me know which are important to you) - files via Drag and drop - files via File Open dialog - spell check the clipboard - support Windows programs - Hotkey support - pause, set focus,return focus and match? - History of misspelled words? - History of words spelled correctly? - REXX interface? - External C Interface? Possible future enhancements (beyond version 1.0) - From Match dialog - not just copy to keyboard but automatic replacement of the misspelled word - Automatic replacement of commonly misspelled words (replace 'teh' with 'the',sucess with success,etc from a user defined list) as you type it - Shrink dictionary size?
