Patch Development Priority and Assignment Thread

[pearpctweaker]

This is a place for things that may or may not make it into the "official" code, but that people have requested over time. This is the official "keeping track of who's doing what, and asking them specific questions spot."

The Patches to work on:

If you'd like to volunteer for any of the above projects, please PM me and let me know, I'll make sure your name gets listed so all applicable questions can be directed towards the right place. If you'd like to lend a hand to a current project, or have an idea that should be placed on this list, PM me. Sticky Request.

[On the drag and drop, here's a thought, write in a routine to allow pearpc to recognize when a file is dropped onto it, and similar to the Virtual PC Additions, have that file copied to a location on the hard drive(in windows for instance, c:\windows\temp\pearpcdragdrop\) which is linked to by an alias on OS X, and write a shell script and cron job to monitor that alias, and move any files found in there to the desktop in OS X]

[prasys]

Made it into a sticky , so those who are intrested in development , can post it about here

If you are newbie and willing to learn , please post your infomation about here (I prefer to use the PM System so this topic do not get clogged up). Just post a message to pearpctweaker..Of course , if you are willing to learn C++ , and you are not afarid go ahead , who knows , you could be a programmer and could help the PearPC Project

I think it was Daniel Foesch, but if i remember right he has stopped working on it waiting for OpenBIOS support.
[/quote:dc3746894d] Any news on OpenBIOS? I'd also like to know who's working on that if you've got the info.
