GtkTerm Serial Terminal

gtkterm's Issues

Open/close port in menu (to free it temporarily without exit gtkterm)

(Migrated from FedoraHosted. Reported by 'mavati')

All is in the title... Could be interesting, when you want to use the serial port with another software, and then get back to gtkterm (without having to run it again, and losing all the current display !)

Really usefull, and available in hyperterminal ! ;-)

Could be added in the configuration menu (displaying "Close port" if port opened, displaying "Open port" if port closed). Else and later in a future toolbar ?

Resource leak

(Migrated from FedoraHosted. Reported by 'dcb')

I just ran static analysis tool "cppcheck" over the source code of gtkterm-0.99.7

It said

[term_config.c:1400]: (error) Resource leak: f

Source code is

f = fopen(cfg_file, "w");

Suggest call fclose before call to fopen.

Configuration file corrupted by two sections with different letter cases

(Migrated from FedoraHosted. Reported by 'arpi')

If a configuration is saved with the name of an existing configuration with only the lower/uppercase is different the configuration is saved additionally to the old one. After that the configuation file can not be read again by gtkterm and has to be adapted by hand.

Cause: term_config.c uses strcmp and parsecfg.c uses strcasecmp

Suggested solution: change in term_config.c so that lower-upper-case is ignored.

I changed the current GIT sources and compiled on Ubuntu 14.04 which solved the bug for me.

Pasted text is truncated

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
GTKTerm version 0.99.7-rc1 (installed via software download GUI)

Whenever I try to copy and paste a long command into the terminal, it is truncated. It seems it is only capable of pasting in 64 characters at a time despite allowing me to enter as many characters by hand as I want at a time.

Auto reopen serial port

(Migrated from FedoraHosted. Reported by 'warmcat')

Recent minicom auto-reopens the serial device if it reappears... this would be a good thing to copy.

Nowadays a lot of serial devices are USB, and if you are developing the "other side", they are appearing and disappearing frequently.

It'd be cool (especially when combined with a /dev/serial/by-id address) if the gtkterm session stayed "nailed up".
