Re: Octave GUI 0.5

[Sebastien Loisel]

There's that possibility, other possibilities:
* Use an MDI window
* Separate but tabbed editor window
However it's not clear which one is most desirable at this point.

Other requests I have so far:
* Variables tab
* Use Octave's history buffer

Things I personally want to do:
* Make MinGW go (*)
* Fix Help, perhaps using QTextBrowser (althought QAssistant would be superior.)
* Add line numbers to the editor
* Fix the directory tab (perhaps by implementing my own QDirModel) so it has ".." in it.

Patches accepted!

(*) Latest news: I'm supposed to try to link against liboctave statically. If you know how to do that, let me know. If that doesn't fix it, I'm going to need liboctave to collaborate and give me a pointer to its cerr. To fix the issue with a 
cmd.exe window popping up briefly when you do "ls" is a separate thing for which I have a workaround.

Just a suggestion: why not have the editor inside the left window (as
in the screenshot) together with the octave console? Then there should
be a special item in the list left to it named "console", always put
on top of all other items (or be a button, for example). When the user
clicks it, the right frame would become the console, and when the user
clicks on a file, the right frame would become the editor showing the
file. :)
