* Check for the presence of all required data files in all games; or, as a somewhat less extensive measure, at least do this: For games which were shipped on multiple volumes (floppies, CDs), check for the presence of at least one file per volume. | * Check for the presence of all required data files in all games; or, as a somewhat less extensive measure, at least do this: For games which were shipped on multiple volumes (floppies, CDs), check for the presence of at least one file per volume. | ||
* Check for the presence of our external support files like kyra.dat, sky.cpt, etc., and also verify that they are up-to-date. For details, see [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1520433&group_id=37116&atid=418823 FR #1520433] | * Check for the presence of our external support files like kyra.dat, sky.cpt, etc., and also verify that they are up-to-date.

* we really should handle more errors, and handle them better. In the launcher, in engines, in backends... just everywhere. | |||
* make "mass add" the new default behavior for the "add" button in the launcher | |||
* finalize dealing with the windows console, in particular | |||
** hide it by default | |||
** add a hotkey to toggle its visibility | |||
** implement OSystem::displayLogFile() for Windows | |||
** ... | |||

* add a --with-sdk or so switch to configure, which can be used instead of setting env vars like PSPSDK etc -> better support for automatic re-configure runs | |||
=== Buildbot === | |||
* run unit tests on build bot (for this, simply add an extra "test" builder alongside the other builders, which uses the regular build chain, but runs "make test" instead of doing a regular compilation. It wouldn't produce a "package" as output. | |||
* add scummvm-tools to buildbot, so that users can get nightly build of the tools (ideally with UI) for at least Windows, Linux, Mac. | |||
* provide windows installers from buildbot for scummvm and the tools | |||

* get rid of printf in frontend code. This has been mostly achieved now, but some uses remain, mostly related to detecting / adding games. there was an extensive discussion on -devel on how to resolve this, now only somebody needs to work on advancing this. | |||

* merge EventManager::shouldQuit and shouldRTL: many places need to check *both* anyway, but this is often "forgotten" (and this problem then quickly proliferates, because people use copy&paste but don't read the docs). it would be more intuitive if they were combined into one: | |||
<syntax type="C++"> | |||
QuitRequest shouldQuit() | |||
enum QuitRequest { | |||
kNoQuitRequest = 0, | |||
kRTLRequest = 1, | |||
kQuitRequest = 2 | |||
} | |||
</syntax> | |||
This would also reduce the calling overhead slightly, as now only one virtual method has to be called now instead of two). | |||
