RE: Qt GUI feature suggestion thread
Some planning/ideas by me:

- Do not use any internal filters anymore, instead extend the Kega Fusion plugin support (15, 16, 32 bit filters) and port one or the other filter to it.

- Completely support 7z files with multiple ROMs in them, save & load them to/from the recent files list in Form "...\ROMs\Advance Wars 2.7z\Advance Wars 2 [EUR].gba"

- Always use tr("<text>") from the beginning to ease later translations.

- Use as much eye candy as possible. The MFC build only has ONE icon, now THAT's boring

- Use Phonon for Audio/Video Recording. (I'm not sure if Phonon is just a decoder or more).

- Maybe use phonon for sound output as well, so we don't need a platform specifiy audio plugin?

- Make sure from the beginning that as much usage of threads as possible is made. Maybe we have to rewrite the current interface to the core using callbacks for that. I think it would be good to create a new branch on the SVN (even though I don't exactly know how that works). if we have to make some changes to the core for making the Qt build work better, it would be awful if we had to change all the other GUIs all the time or they would be broken. All of the current source code for the different GUIs will be obsolete as soon as Qt takes over anyway, so maybe we should just archive the current state as a branch or something like that.
