-== TODO ==
+=== Web site ===
-The following are some TODOs I've been thinking about recently. I might either implement them, or add some of them to the main TODO list. We'll see...
+* Add big (green?) shiny buttons in the middle of the page for (1) Donations and (2) Downloads ?
+* simplify screenshots: use a single screenshot "database" file, and use meaningful names on the screenshots, maybe even organize them in subdirs
-* Web site
+=== Savefile manager ===
-** Add big (green?) shiny buttons in the middle of the page for (1) Donations and (2) Downloads ?
+* get rid of getSavePath -> AFAICT it's only used for enhanced error/warning messages. So let's just finally add a Stream::ioErrorString methor or so, which describes the error that occured
-* SaveMan improvements
+* at the same time might want to replace ioFailed() with an ioError() method which returns an error code, not just a bool

+* add a method to remove a savestate

+* properly document listSavefiles
-** add a method to remove a savestate
-** properly document listSavefiles
 ** reimplement DefaultSaveFileManager::listSavefiles
-* Clean up file/filesystem handling in our code
-** several backends #define fopen, fread etc. -- this is bad, try to get rid of these hacks
+=== File code ===
-** to get rid of all usages of fopen, etc. we could add backends/file and move the current file.cpp to backends/file/stdc (this is just a rough idea, mind you)
+* several backends #define fopen, fread etc. -- this is bad, try to get rid of these hacks
-** at the same time, finally change File to read-only, and add a DumpFile class, which can be used for script dumps, screenshots etc.; ports can simply provide an "empty" implementations if they don't support dumping large files
+* to get rid of all usages of fopen, etc. we could add backends/file and move the current file.cpp to backends/file/stdc (this is just a rough idea, mind you)
-** To enforce that no code uses fopen etc. directly, we could add our own #define's to scummsys.h to trigger errors in code doing it

-* GUI
+* To enforce that no code uses fopen etc. directly, we could add our own #define's to scummsys.h to trigger errors in code doing it
-** The options dialog may show a button for configuring the savepath even on systems where it is fixed -> not good
+=== GUI ===
+* The options dialog may show a button for configuring the savepath even on systems where it is fixed -> not good. This button should be hidden/removed for these systems
+* make a shared "main menu dialog", based on the SCUMM one
+** accessible via the same hotkey in all engines
+** save/load/help optional
+** enhance the current dialog by displaying the engine name at the top, maybe also "ScummVM 0.x.y"
+=== OSystem ===
+* get to rid of the evil global gBitFormat!
+* Add getOverlayBitFormat() method, so we can avoid using RGBToColor, colorToRGB, ARGBToColor, colorToARGB in tight loops (it would return a value of 8 to indicate palette mode, otherwise a bitformat value compatible to those used in graphics/colormasks.h)
+* Remove slack in OSystem
+** move getScreenChangeID functionality to EventManager
+** what are these for (and can we remove them)?: screenToOverlayX, screenToOverlayY, overlayToScreenX, overlayToScreenY
+** remove getOutputSampleRate -- instead, add a private API to the mixer code to setup the sample rate  (like, a param to the Mixer constructor)
