Missing features

The Research page won't be part of the Standard edition, and needs quite some work. The Research page is where the Hall and Van de Castle scales will resurface, with the possibility of automatic indexing dreams against these scales.

Features reported missing:

  • Sheri: Demo movies are not available (it makes no sense to create those until it's sure that the user interface won't change)
  • Kim: Missing expression search plugin.
  • Christina: Missing export / import functions for symbol dictionaries.
  • Sheri: Back and forward buttons at the Symbol page.
  • Sheri: Import from text (requires Supervisor's function to be updated)

Suggestions

  • Sheri: Could really use a color scheme for 16 colors mode (I think this can be done with an option to completely switch off skinning, and let Windows figure it out).
  • Urunc: Something to easily insert MP3 files.
  • Urunc: Copy and paste from emails or websites should transfer pictures.
  • Urunc: A title field to link a dream to a journal entry.
  • Urunc: Design of Alchera 3 was more elegant with different colors for the tabs.
