Tasks on Gifmap's todo list
===========================

Version 1.X:

  o Install the Gifmap icons during the install phase.

  o Direct support within gifmap for determining image size
  (don't use ImageMagick's identify because it is slow).

  o Use a template to describe the HTML in the imagemap frame.

  o Support both horizontally oriented and vertically oriented
    Frame formats.  The current orientation is vertical.

  o Look into the feasability of using tables to emulate frames
    for browsers that support tables but not frames.

  o Add a NEWS file.

  o Provide summary statistics for an entire run, not just
    individual directories when in verbose mode. Difficult since
    gifmap forks per directory and final statistics are printed by
    the parent.

Version 2.X:

  o Rename to WebMagick as befits a program which is based on
    ImageMagick and PerlMagick.

  o Take advantage of PERL 5 features (1.X is PERL 4 compatable).

  o Use PerlMagick rather than external ImageMagick utilities.

  o Provide more space vs time trade-offs (e.g. save thumbnails
    for large images as individual files to reduce montage time).


Wish List:

  o Support indexing images which are located in a different
    directory tree from where Gifmap places its index files.
    This is to support CD-ROMs and other read-only situations.

  o Support quasi-image files which contain the URLs of
    images to include in the index.  This allows images to
    be located remotely and accessed via HTTP.

  o Port to Win32 to work under Windows '95 & NT.  The latest
    news is that Christian Eyssautier <eyssau@ilog.fr> is 
    undertaking this task.
