UPDATE: As I am busy with Jack, this project is on hold until further notice. Might be able to program it in Hollywood once I've got a working multi-lined text box.

Knowledge required:

Reading C++ Language Tutorial to refresh my experience
Need to fully explore, understand and probably build myself common routines for:

[list]
[*]Image loading

1) Detect File Type
2) How to open a requester, listing filtered by support image types above
3) Load PNGs, GIFs or JPG... WebP would be nice also.
4) Load image into an object
5) Scale image/object

[*]XML Handling

1) Read a plain text file/xml file
2) Parse the XML file into an array or structure so I can...
a) Address tag data
b) Manipulate and add new tag data into the structure
3) Write the plain text file/xml file back to disk.

[*] GUI

Learn AVD from Jamie Krueger at BitByBit Software Group (http://bitbybitsoftwaregroup.com/) inside out.

[*]Upload

Does AmigaOS4 come with a Curl command as standard?

Curl method:

1) How to call an external command using C++?
2) Act on its result

If not implement this myself, which will require routines for:

1) Check an internet connection is available
2) Reach an FTP Site
3) Upload a file
4) Provide a progress bar
5) Check file has finished uploading
6) Error handling

Anticipated features of finished application:

• Add Elements to Feed, user can pick from 3 templates
  
  • 1) Image, Bold Title, Description
    
  • 2) Image, Description
    
  • 3) No Image, Bold Title, Description
    

• Support for GIF, JPG, PNG and perhaps WebP images
  
• Publish to FTP Server with integrated preferences
  
• Support for multiple RSS feed editing
  
• Publish Later feature
