# Backlog — 0.3.0 and later

Recorded after hands-on testing of 0.2.6.1 in September 2026. **None of
this is in 0.2.6.2**, which is limited to picture printing, the
Presentations memory failure and the settings lockdown. Each item says
what was observed, so whoever picks it up starts from the evidence.

## Wonder Ink

- **An interface like Chrome's, visibly the classroom's.** Familiar tabs
  and back/forward/reload, without an address bar, new-tab button or
  anything that takes a teacher somewhere the lesson did not. The 0.2.6.1
  tab strip is a step towards it, not the design.
- **The PDF viewer's own Download button.** It saves a copy, which the
  download handler then opens as another worksheet tab. Remove it, or
  intercept the download from a worksheet tab so it does nothing visible.
  (0.2.2 already skips re-opening a save from a worksheet tab — see
  `from_worksheet` in `on_download` — so check first which route it now
  takes.)
- **One Print, not two.** A worksheet tab has the viewer's printer icon
  and Wonder Ink's Print; both now open the same preview, but a teacher
  sees two buttons. One teacher-facing workflow.
- **Readable worksheet names.** Tabs show the downloaded file's name,
  which for many worksheets is a long generated prefix. Strip it, or take
  the name from the PDF's own title.
- **A speaker on the tab that is playing sound** (`QWebEnginePage.recentlyAudible`).
- **Linked lesson text opens an intermediate popup** instead of following
  the link, where Chrome follows it directly. Investigate: probably a
  site script choosing `window.open` for a gesture Wonder Ink reports
  differently, or `createWindow` being asked for a popup type we treat as
  a tab.
- **Session retention.** Today closing Wonder Ink signs the teacher out
  (session-only cookies). Wanted: recover from an accidental close, but
  expire after a configurable period of inactivity, including across
  restarts. Needs a design that never leaves one teacher signed in for
  the next — and first, a real account to measure where the site keeps
  its sign-in: 0.2.6.1 found cookies do clear on close, but the profile's
  Local Storage persists, and whether the site stores its token there has
  never been tested.
- **The site's sluggishness, where it is ours.** Measured in 0.2.6.1:
  Wonder Ink and Chrome take the same time (about 2.9 s cold) and the
  site is the weight — 119 – 160 requests, 3.2 MB, the Google Maps API
  loaded twice. Ours to look at: whether a classroom's QtWebEngine has its
  GPU (`classroom-wonderink --diagnose` on the machines), and the page
  shell being revalidated on every warm load (62 – 87 ms).
- **The browser is scaled twice** under Plasma (dpr 2.25 at 150%):
  `classroom-browser` forces `UI_SCALE` on a Chrome that already follows
  the compositor. Deliberately left in 0.2.6.x because teachers know that
  size, and Wonder Ink was matched to it. Decide once, for both.

## Presentations

- **A normal, maximisable application** instead of the small floating
  library window.
- **Consistently sized tiles in a responsive grid.**
- **No unnecessary internal scrollbars or stretched layouts.** 0.2.6.2
  had to give a row extra height by hand when a card carries the
  memory-failure message; the layout should size to its cards.
- **Keep the window's size and position** when importing a presentation
  or changing a cover.
- **Click the slide to advance.**
- **Hide the pointer after a moment of stillness while presenting**, and
  bring it back on movement.
- **Keep the keyboard controls**, and never advance when a playback
  control itself is clicked.
- **Remote control of a presentation** — later than 0.3.0.

## The launcher and Parent Call

- **Remove the subtitles under DVD and Presentations** on the launcher.
- **Parent Call appears among the ordinary applications for a moment and
  then disappears**, which looks like a crash. Keep it reachable through
  its background or notification route without it flashing up as a
  window.

## The settings lockdown

- A notification's **Configure** button still shows, and opens a small
  "module disabled" window (0.2.6.2). Hiding it needs a change to Plasma's
  notification applet, not configuration — revisit if Plasma gains a
  Kiosk key for it.
- The settings-module list is per Plasma release. `tools/lab/converged-check`
  fails when a new one appears; the list in `config/plasma/xdg/kdeglobals`
  then needs the new name.
