Sorry for the huge delay. The development of tudu is not death, it's just on
hold. I'm still traveling, until July (long holidays).

I manage to have some time to think about it, not sure if I'll have time to hack
during the trip I might not be able to implement anything of that until
july-august.

That is a nice idea, I have to think how to integrate it with the current
interface.

I think that should not be the default behavior, but could be a nice optional
feature configurable throught the config file as you say.

I'm not sure if I understand that. You have the option "visual_tree" on the
config file. Is that what you are asking? or what do you have in mind?

I didn't even notice I forget to implement the support to UTF-8 on the config
file. I just did it, it's on the git repository.

Yes, that is should be.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean a window with the complete list of
categories, where you can mark the categories you want to have in the main
window?

You are right, that's a bug. I fix it, it is on the git repository. I'll try to
release 0.8.1 soon with this and other bugfixes.


Thank you for your comments.
