| − | ===Program Logic Flow v0.1 20081012===
| |
| − | '''START''' <br>
| |
| − | * Show welcome page and descriptions
| |
| − | * Search Windows User Folders
| |
| − | * Gathering folders information
| |
| − | * Check if Fedora User parition is enough for all documents from Windows users
| |
| − | * Prompt if administrator wants every thing automatic -> go to AUTO else -> go to MANUAL
| |
| − | '''AUTO'''
| |
| − | * List all possible users and ask if every thing is correct
| |
| − | * Generate for dummy password for each user
| |
| − | * Automatic create User
| |
| − | * Automatic move User documents to each user directory
| |
| − | * Automatic migrate bookmarks to Konqueror, Firefox
| |
| − | :* See note about mail migration below for similar ideas. (http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/browser/components/migration/src/)
| |
| − | '''MANUAL'''
| |
| − | * List all possible users and ask for individual password
| |
| − | * Prompt each folder that copy to Fedora partition, and see if administrator wants to move files to a specific folder
| |
| − | * Prompt each user when move bookmarks to Konqueror, Firefox
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Future Development / Advanced Functions:=== | |
| − | | |
| − | * environment migration
| |
| − | * mail accounts, import mail database (outlook, thunderbird, etc)
| |
| − | :* (humph, Nov 3, 2008) This can be done via Thunderbird's [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments -migration] command line switch, in order to pull all mail/settings into the current profile (i.e., assumes a profile). However, since this produces an mbox, you could also use it to then dump to some other mail client. Also, this method still needs user intervention, and could be automated to accept path(s). See code in http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/components/migration/src/
| |
| − | * Windows a-like environment setting
| |
| − | * automatic download applications associate all file type
| |
| − | * IM migration
