• Students reviewed the following list of bugs in Protex, which Professor White would like to see addressed for Protex. The highest priority item (as per Professor White's comments) is listed first.
  

1. History move. There is a bug that occurs sometimes when you move a folded polypeptide into one of the work panels. The polypeptide will not move into a work panel because it "thinks" that it is still in that work panel.
   


2. Drag and drop. Restore click-on (or double click-on) feature for moving an amino acid into an input palette. There is also a bug--sometimes the amino acid dragged is not the same one that is dropped.
   


3. Thumbnail in History. Try to fit the entire folded protein into its thumbnail portrait.
   


4. Folding feedback. Provide feedback to user while system is folding the protein. Possibly put the folding task into its own thread, and display a message dialog box.
   


5. Clear output canvas palette. Any change in the input palette contents clears the output canvas palette. That way the user will remember that he has changed the amino acid chain in the input palette.
   


6. Redundant folding. Replace the ouput canvas palette with an image when an item is moved from the History into a work panel. The image is already generated. By using it, we can avoid making the user wait while the protein folds again.

• To assist the next team working on MGX, the students considered options for
• Cleaning up the directory structure in CVS.
• Preparing the final help documents.
• Editing the final testing documents (XML).
