Re: [Pan-users] ANN: Pan 0.13.92 - "She said that MY DEAD CAT WASSTUPID."

[Paul Hudson]

(Windows beta 8)

Mostly working fine, and I'm nearly ready to change from Xnews.

Bug: When I press OK in the Preferences dialog, other applications pop to
the front (it looks like Pan goes to the back)

Bug: I had to create a News directory in my Documents and Settings directory
before score files would get created.  Pan should really create this itself
if it doesn't exist.

Bug: How do I enter a escape-sequence into a score file? Entering \b  (for
word boundary) goes into the score file as \\b . I think this is an error.
Hand editing the score file to \b means the score works as expected.

Feature request: Can we have an option to find and edit the score file (in
Notepad, say). There seems to be no other way of editing existing score
rules?

Feature request: The score file has LFs (presumably) as line separators.
This make it difficult to edit under Windows. Could it use the Windows line
endings, please?

Feature request: For us Xnews veterans, it would be nice to have a mode
where the group pane appeared on its own, but the article list and articles
were tiled (vertically or horizontally). I think this is a good feature of
Xnews - I'm looking at articles and article lists, I want to look at both,
but I normally don't want to look at groups.
