List of features to be implemented (not in any particular order)
----------------------------------------------------------------
+- paste text directly into xournal, from xournal?
+ (instead of starting a text item and pasting into it)
+- internationalization / translation of interface
+- integration into desktop environment (document icons/previews?
+ mime type? click on xoj opens it? list app in start menu?)
+- rewrite printing using GtkPrint + Cairo as GnomePrint replacement
+ (keep GnomePrint option for compatibility with GTK+ <2.10)
+- xournal_page-shadow.diff (Martin Kiefel Feb 5 2007)
+- "organizer" side panel (hierarchy of notes), cf. gjots
- xoj2pdf on command line
+- 'insert blank page after' command (more useful in PDF annot !)
- load images as bg if given on command-line (as with PDF on commandline)
- load PDF pages only on demand (create empty pixmaps at first if can
parse PDF geometry ourselves, else try pdfinfo ??)
-- de-map space key from button bar
-- lasso selection tool
+ (and config option to limit total memory usage for PDF bitmaps)
+- lasso selection tool (see shoffsta patch)
+ (http://shoffsta.afraid.org/Projects/Xournal/)
- flatten (incl undo/redo...) - enabled only if nlayers>1
- resize selection
-- text tool, font chooser, default font
- color chooser (papercolor, pen color); maybe more default colors
- printing: print-options, save printer settings (throughout a session,
and on disk) (maybe a separate config file .xournal/gnome-print-settings)
- more pen/highlighter shapes (chisel)
- convert to/from Jarnal format; to/from MS Journal format???
- recalibration upon screen resize / compensation for miscalibration
+ (use ConfigureNotify event and XInput? cf "Bugs" tracker 08/2007)
- find a better behavior for vertical space tool across page boundaries ?
-- key mappings (pgup/dn for full page, up/dn for scroll)
- (customize secondary mappings for tablet button use ?)
+ config options? 1) when there's not enough space at bottom of page:
+ - resize the page
+ - move stuff to next page
+ - move stuff to a new page
+ 2) when moving to another page:
+ - move everything
+ - move only what doesn't fit (??? looks hard)
+ option for vert space tool to also move the background??
+ (PDF: cut-and-crop by running PDF code twice with 2 different clipboxes?)
- copy/paste of an entire page (beware if PDF bg is not compatible!)
- simple drawing tools: rectangles, ellipses
- option to save all annotated files within the .xoj
- non-antialiased version for handhelds
- customize autogenerated save file names
-- optimize speed in hand tool (process groups of motion events)?
- (setting 1 pixel min threshold doesn't help -- look at GTK+ scrollbar code?)
- layer dialog box to set visibility status of each layer regardless of
which layer is being edited
- display corruption on scroll down when bottom of window is obscured??
(probably a gnomecanvas or X bug -- expose event generated for wrong
region, or not processed?)
- bitmap preview for document icon in desktop environments?
+- autosave at a regular interval in a given location
+- keep only a few pages of a PDF file in memory at any given time; generate
+ pages by parsing pdf info rather than generating bitmaps for all of them.
+- win32 port (Matteo Abrate)
+- snap-to-grid tool? (Matteo Abrate)
+- option to auto-save preferences on exit (Michele Codutti)
+- EPOS 7/24/07: Thumbnails pane
+- EPOS: Connect to EPOS api which sends A4 mapped points
+- EPOS: Cut and Paste into OpenOffice applications and the GIMP (as bitmap??)
+- EPOS: Export pages to pictures in the Jpg and Png formats.
+- EPOS: Rotate Ink in custom angle.
