Windows todo list

[zcbenz]

Short term:

• Use named pipe instead of unix file socket
• Make grunt install work
• Add atom.cmd
• Install atom.cmd and apm.cmd
• Icons in command palette do not show correctly
• Some key shortcuts would execute the command for twice
• Make nslog work like OS X's one
• Make all specs pass
• Startup time is too long

Long term:

• High-DPI support
• Bring CI back
• Create installer
• Make auto updater work
• Terminal package doesn't work

The readme for atom/terminal now reads "Warning: This package is alpha and probably buggy, but we decided to share our progress for those who are interested. Proceed at your own risk!"

I think this means we can move "Terminal package doesn't work" to "Long term"

[zcbenz]

It was added when it was still a core package, moved to "Long term" now.

Create installer

That shouldn't be too hard. I've been distributing windows builds as .rar's, and you only need the Microsoft C++ 2010 redistribution for it to run. However, you do need VS2010 (or others) for package building to work.

High-DPI support

This might not be as hard as it sounds, in Chrome Dev there's a flag to enable it, we may just have to fiddle with the shell settings.

Closing in favor of #2447. The rest of these todo items will come in other initiatives.

Maybe terminal embedding can be achieved using techologies from ConEmu.

FYI, HiDPI support on Linux is also an issue, but is probably related.

Just to mention, I have just installed Chrome 37 and it's finally doing high DPI properly.

Apparently, v36 still had some major issues, but 37 appears to have fixed those.

37 is still in beta, which means it'll take quite a while before it's been incorporated in atom-shell. But here's for the light at the end of the low DPI tunnel ;)
