Roadmap (to help KWWidgets developers prioritize their work)
Widget feature requests / feedback
Talk about best approaches to making some widget behavior appear consistent across platforms.
Separate Tutorial Session for New Users (to happen possibly on Wednesday)

Specific Issues

From Nicole Aucoin

Directory selection dialog box on linux:

- it pops up with a default width such that the right scroll bar isn't visible.
- request: an entry box where I can type a path to reduce clicking through the tree (useful before setting up a favourite)

From Curtis Lisle

idea #1 - I have had trouble initializing widgets to specific values in advance of user input. For example, I've created interfaces with sliders and buttons but I have had trouble getting the widgets to initialize in a state different then the default state. For example, setting a slider to value=26 in the middle of its range without dragging the mouse. The API looks like it is there, but I couldn't get it to work for me. I'm sure I tried setting the state before and after creation, if I remember, but no luck. It may be that I'm not updating the GUI successfully after changing values.

idea #2 - discuss when UI elements need to have Modified() / Update() invoked to refresh their appearance. I used a histogram widget on a project and had to experiment a lot calling the panel and RenderWidowWidget, etc. before I finally got the histogram to update when the input changed.

From Brad Davis

File selection dialog boxes: same on windows and linux File selection dialog boxes: allow selection of multiple files in windows

Double-clicking does not work with slicer3 and linux

From Alex:

Creating GUI performance in slicer3

Customizable tree widget similar to slicer2 model hierarchy editor

From Wendy:

Creating special versions of menubutton drop-down menus with scroll capability, checkbuttons and radiobuttons with consistent "on/off" visual representation across platforms. (either special Slicer widgets or KWWidgets). It would be good to decide on a strategy for addressing these things.
