user needs to be able to cancel any search operation in UI or script

add error log to help debugging user issues

installer needs to be signed so that windows does not display a warning

expose those methods so that a user could utilize them when scraping data

need an "options" dialog with font size settings

stringTrim and splitIntoWords only consider spaces. However, they would also take into account special characters such as \t, \r, and \n

check all conditions during opening files, viewing, etc and popup a dialog on failure

keep standard buffer sizes for simplicity (8K for file stream)

random access files and search result indexes should have different extensions so that, while opening, only relevant files would show up in the oepn dialog

need a dark theme as well as option for switching between light and dark

while opening file from index path, also check the local directory for the existence of file

need to test viewing, searching (with regex), parsing unicode files

right now, viewer code is copy pasted across dialogs resulting in having to fix bugs in multiple places. Also the start and aned line tracking in very error prone. This needs to be refactored to be generalized

enforce consecutive indexes, and fail if index is <= to the previously written one

test how the application looks on larger screen (TV?) Does it have enough visible lines? Is the text visible?

test syntax highlighting for bugs

• When opening and closing quotations
• functions inside comments

the user should not have to explicitly call initialize(). Use a factory method instead

right now, indexes are stored in the executable folder which needs to be changed. While performing a search, the application should provide directory selection next to file name. It should also remember your last location

if the file isn't open, open it first before opening the index

while viewing a doc, a loading bar must show when data is being loaded from disk

progress dialogs need to be refactored to improve code quality. See mainwindow openfile() for reference

currently, paths use forward slashes. If \ encountered in the path, it should be converted back to /

measure performance of different features and see if they can be optimized

line numbers can get long

instead of deleting pointers created inside PLPCORE, use release methods

Since file indexes are evenly spaced and the spacing is known, there is no point keeping the line numbers for every index. Using a vector will improve file size, in-memory size and access speed

need to be able to create an installer for windows

need to add linux support

need to keep track of creation/release of readers and writers for file and index and fail when trying to read and write same file. Also need to expose release() methods to lua so that user can release then mid script

Need a name and a logo

ASCII and Unicode as well as ignore case

need a dialog in "help" containing docs for LUA interface with parameters and comments on usage

need to create a bunch of sample scripts that ship with the logger for reference

add an About dialog to "help" that displays a logo, and a general description of the application

add a cancel option while opening a file (indexing)

add a progress dialog while opening a file (indexing)

At this time, the only supported line ending is \n which will not work for unstructured data. Need customer input to determine priority/validity

add a general usage (get started) dialog to "help" that helps user figure out how to use the application

re-opening the application restores previously opened files
