Writing Project: F0nd 0f writing-like software

[cd_228]

Hey.

I have created this little program that is a bit like f0nd 0f writing. The reason why I created this is because I think the original one lacks the support of command line arguments. This one supports those. So in case you have another program like CM you can make it launch Writing Project so it defines all the parameters for the user.
This is not to take the credit for the original one.
Some of the original features are not in this one. I only put in what I thought was necessary.

Please try it out and comment. Bear in mind I'm not a very good programmer, but I would still like to receive suggestions where Writing Project can be improved.

Description:
When the assignment is done you will be asked to save the report. Afterwards you can try to validate the report by pressing "Reports -> Validate Report". Load it and press validate. Try to tamper with the file - it should give the message that it's invalid.

Other than the command line ability, this is less functional than the original. I guess it's the cyber mistress integration you were looking for. The original files were more flexible and could be traded.

Sorry to be a downer. I couldn't have written what you did, so I respect your efforts.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

This is the very first build and in no way the final program. This is just an outline of what it can become, so give me suggestions where it can be improved. I can't guarantee I can do it, but I can guarantee I'll try.

As an addition:
I was originally thinking that it was a cool idea to have the opportunity to trade files (which you can still do with the reports but not with the creation of sessions). But on the other hand I think it's a bit messy to have two seperate programs. So I was thinking about making a function that makes people login or something, so the program can determine whether your a s or D and give you rights according to that.
- Would it be a nag having to login at the start every time? If you do it this way, I guess you could actually
link a s to a D, so that it uses a specific encryption key that the s and D shares to verify whether the session is from the right D.
- I can also make all features available for everybody, so that you can create a session on all computers.

Let me hear some ideas.

Ok.

I have decided to split up the program in two anyway - one for s and one for D.
I am coding a chat function at the moment, so that the s and D can communicate directly. Furthermore I'm planning to make it possible for the D to generate a session which can be sent through the chat function to the s. Maybe I'll also make it possible to just create a session which can then be manually opened.

Let me hear ideas!
