Ideas for Hachoir 2.0.

  • Editor facilities
    • Editor events => recalculate CRC32, "length" field value, etc.
    • Reject invalid values
    • Metadata editor (asked by Plone developers)
  • Allow to attach arbitrary information on a field
    • hachoir-strip: field category (metadata, user data, useless, ...)
    • relation between fields (like CRC32 recomputing)
    • description (?)
    • The idea is to skip the informations when it's not enabled, it would allow to have smaller memory footprint (don't store description when we don't need it)
    • Problem: syntax? KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)?
  • Demuxer allowing to extract MPEG substreams, see: ticket:75
  • Write zlib, deflate, JPEG, etc. decompressor: nneonnoe started this task
