This is stuff I probably should do if I ever feel motivated 
enough. You can send patches for these if you like. ;)

BUGS TO FIX

- padopt doesn't seem to adopt files which are already on 
  some of the current areas target areas.
- fix pbackup problem with rebackuping broken files again
- Context selection in r_rule matching is arbitrary if many
  contexts match ...
- If table identifying column is not unique, bowser delete
  will delete all table rows having the same identifier...

MISC SMALL ISSUES

- Change fields to be sortable in bowser
- XHDR doesn't work with all newsservers. XOVER (-Z) could be
  used then [olly at flupp de]. Should make suck options 
  modifyable during runtime (current "src/pimppa.h").
- handle strings "filename.jpg" on message subjects
  (they currently end up as "filename.jpg ) 
- currently "pmd5sum -w" deletes only one of the duplicate
  files. :(
- make suckkillfile selectable on pleech command line

NEW FEATS

- Drop gnome dependency from bowser. We could might as well do it 
  with plain gtk.
- Ability to remove unknown/unaccepted filetypes after decoding.
- Optional conservative leeching; calculate assign pattern for file,
  if pattern exists && >0, take file. Otherwise, see if there's
  more than k files in this newsgroup mapping to the created 
  pattern. If not, don't take the file. This would enable us to
  get rid of annoying miscellaneous files and get only series.
- Automatic restart for pleech
- On-the-fly decoding of downloaded articles
- Add optional pause between header and article downloading
- Add support for changing suck/uudeview/etc locations
- Add better handling for situations where suck exits improperly
- Make complete/incomplete posting detection better
- Enhance the GUI to cover more stuff
- It would probably be a good idea to make an internal picture viewer
  to "bowser", to make it quicker to use. Other option would be
  to choose viewer based on file type.
- WWW support, using e.g. wget or pavuk
- Some way to act on an article by its subject line.
  Editing suckkillfile works nicely, but some way to keep an article
  would be handy as well. For example, even if an file has a duplicate 
  name in the database, keep it if the subject line contains "new". (boz boz)
  Update: 'pleech -k' is a step to this direction, but doesn't
  support precisely the above case.

If something comes to mind (bug reports, suggestions, whatever),
just send email to <iwronsky(cat)users(dot)sourceforge(dog)net>. 

Especially if you think PIMPPA would benefit from some new
functionality/tool/script/etc, let me know and we'll 
think about it.
