- collaborative editing (see discussion with Erik Demaine)
-- porting to Win32 and MacOS; merge Nokia port
+- porting to MacOS; merge Nokia port
- multiple-scenario undo history
- collaborative: allow non-x86 endianness (for ints, for floats?)
(e.g. if xinput events are far away from core events, re-query geometry?)
or see if removing the GTK bugfix would help? -- e.g. by recalling an
internal gtk init function?
+ Also allow for SIGUSR1 to recalibrate (so rotate scripts could pkill
+ xournal). (cf #2944459). Recalibration probably requires talking directly
+ to X server to query input device geometry and compensate for GTK.
+
+BUGS:
+** lingering issues with synaptics touchpads? (#2872667)
+ (todo) - set device to Absolute mode at startup? (GDK doesn't expose API,
+ cf XSetDeviceMode() in /usr/include/X11/extensions/XInput.h)
+** color picker into canvas doesn't work in GTK+ 2.16 (should disable
+ xinput first?)
+** export to PDF should see cropbox size if smaller, and map the
+ cropbox -- not the entire page -- to the page area! (2009-11-18 forum)
+
+WIN32:
+- test further
+- write an installer
+- bug: opening files with accents in name?
+- bug: cairo-scaled-font in printing? (2009-11-18 bug tracker)
+- bug: printf() sometimes generates stroke coordinates 1.#J -1.#J (???)

+PATCHES TO INCORPORATE:
+** patch: ortho/snap (revised Apr 13 2009)
+ xournal_ortho_snap_patch_4 (by Josef Pavlicek)
+
+** patch (Ian-Woo Kim): multicolumn mode + LASSO SELECTION
+ xournal_lasso_multipage_zoom_button_20090620.patch
+
+** autosave patch (Edward Yang) (should fix: optional only, w/ menu + cfgfile
+ entries; fix: should clean up autosave.xoj.bg* files too; config interval)
+ 0001-Implement-autosave-for-documents-revised.patch (2 seconds after
+ modification, vs original 5 seconds)
+ *** NEW VERSION: #2881919 (autosave for 0.4.5, w/ some changes)
+ NB: last modif should be triggered by prepare_new_undo() and undo/redo?
+ *** NEW VERSION: with threading, by Man, e-mail 12/10/2009 10:51pm
+
+** insert images patch (Victor Saase) #2890925
+** as improved by Simon Guest April 14 2010
+** modified rev2 May 14, 2010: xournal-0.4.5-sjg-image-rev2.patch.gz
+
+** customize paper ruling (Gautam Iyer e-mail Nov 30 2009 / SF tracker)
+
+** cairo export to PNG (Man = Paulo Neves, e-mail Feb 3 '10, saved as
+ cairo-png-rendering.diff.txt (refactor printing of page to cairo surface
+ with the gtk-print code).
+
+- make default in ok_to_close() box "cancel" rather than "no".
+
+- make line spacing in text objects customizable: to a fixed scaling factor,
+ a fixed number of units, or the paper ruling (esp. the latter!!)
+
+- page size dialog box should have a check button to keep background size
+ the same (so rescaling creates margin around bitmap or PDF background).
+ This will need an extension to the file format, to allow a page background
+ to have a different size from the page itself.
+
+- option to map device named "touch" to hand tool? (like "Eraser tip")
+
+
+- roadmap towards SVG support: see 1/25/2010 Mark Edgington email & reply
+ (1) export to SVG (using pages and groups for pages and layers;
+ use comment tags to make export nonlossy;
+ (2) import from this subset of SVG;
+ (3) add SVG to the file-open and save formats
+
+- roadmap towards PDF encapsulation: see 1/29/2010 forum posts
+ When exporting to PDF, don't just append our annotations as PDF code but
+ also include the .xoj file within the pdf, and ensure the initial pdf is
+ well-delimited from the rest. When opening a PDF that includes such
+ markings, discard the annotation part of the PDF and open the embedded xoj
+ instead. Later, offer such PDF as a file-open and save format (even when
+ there's no PDF background being annotated!!).
+
+*** should have Open, Save, Save As manipulate at least 3 formats:
+ - XOJ
+ - PDF with embedded xoj file in an object (opens with annot. in PDF viewer,
+ with background only + separate xoj in xournal)
+ - SVG (subset only)
+ additionally, should have "print to": printer, PDF, SVG, bitmap.
+
+- allow djvu and other backgrounds (but then can't export to PDF)

-****** URGENT: gtkprint; new release by November end for Debian!
- nb: libgnomeprint produces many warnings (spinbutton; gpa assertions)
- nb: gtkprint includes sft.c or not?? see font generation...
-
-- get GTK+ 2.17 events while editing text to work.
-- prerelease: update help file (remove references to pdftoppm/libgnomeprint
- to poppler/gtkprint
-- remove "antialias bg" flag, useless... see McElrath
- PDF bg memory usage throttling / delete oldest pdf backgrounds
-- fix fix_xinput_coords so it works ok without ENABLE_XINPUT_BUGFIX ?
- (with both old and new GTK+)
- (need to shift by (sx,sy), + shift between canvas->window vs canvas in 2.17)
-- Esc should leave text box if editing; and fullscreen if fullscreen?
-- color chooser button (patch tracker?)
-- option to have buttons *toggle* the tool rather than act as tool
- (ie button 2 causes button 1 to map to tool 2) [Dylan Thurston]
-** auto-hide patch from ~/prog/src/xournal-autohide/ ?
- (check for cpu usage, add flag if need be; handle BOTH edges
+- replace ttsubset by something more modern? (eg. from cairo ?)
+- auto-hide patch from ~/prog/src/xournal-autohide/ ?
+ (check for cpu usage; handle BOTH edges
and only (un)hide stuff at the correct edge!)
-** if bg pdf not found in absolute path, look in path of xoj file before
- prompting user.
-** patch to fix focus + allow up/dn in single page mode (Bob McElrath)
- also comment out contents of reset_focus() ? (tracker patch #2494022)
-** patch to fix underscores in MRU filename display (McElrath) (tracker)
- (fix memory leak)
** UI update (Bob McElrath) -- eliminating status bar, compact layout,
"compact interface" by default; themes, with line in config file
to load pixmaps from pixmaps/$THEME/ (see Jan 9, 2009 emails)
-** antialias BG pixmaps doesn't do anything anymore?
-** autosave patch (Edward Yang) (fix: optional only, w/ menu + cfgfile
- entries; fix: should clean up autosave.xoj.bg* files too; config interval)
-- patch (ikim@physics.wisc.edu): multicolumn mode + LASSO SELECTION
-- patch: ortho/snap (revised Apr 13 2009)
-** FIXME: get_pressure_multiplier() should access correct members
- of event struct, like xinput_coords()
-** FIX RECOGNIZER BUG: for single-segment strokes (e.g. single click),
- I_xx and I_yy = 0, sometimes -0 -> Rad = nan (should I_xx = abs(...) ?)
- also Det = division by 0, should return 0 if ixx + iyy = 0.
- (MAYBE: fix inertia calc: integrate dm over each segment rather than dm.pt[i])
+- horizontal mode instead of dual-view / multicolumn ?
+** "new page before/after" on a PDF bg page should ask: same page, other page of
+ PDF file, default paper

- recognizer should snap to existing recognized geometric shapes
+- patch to find text in PDF (dmg = Daniel German, Nov 13 2009)
+
+- search through text (xoj and PDF background) (with highlight? forwd/backwd)
+ (see evince). Also: ability to select rectangle on PDF bg and copy-paste
+ as bitmap or as text.
- improve recognizer: two passes for polygons (low tolerance, then higher)
to better detect elongated rectangles? (if low tolerance recognizer
and maybe also snap-to-vertices (option for ruler and recognizer)?
- config option: config save current tool options instead of default ones
-- "new page before/after" on a PDF bg page should ask: same page, other page of
- PDF file, default paper
- bug in truetype subset generation w/ Adobe 9, see if gtk-print any better?
+- drag-and-drop, copy-paste text & images directly into xournal
+- proximity detection: eraser proximity switches mapping?
+ proximity out removes cursor until next motionnotify?
+
- render page to bitmap: for export, preview, and copy-paste
(render using libart, see how gnomecanvas does it?)
NO: render using Cairo !!! then can switch to GtkPrint as well.
(copy-paste: config option to render only current layer or all below?)
- cut-and-paste of selection into other apps (as bitmap; as SVG?)
+
- navigation sidebar with bitmap page previews
- bitmap preview for document icon in desktop environments?
- "organizer" side panel (hierarchy of notes), cf. gjots

+ "Use MD5..." of Dec 2009)
+
+- see iRex code for generic viewer + PDF plugin including caching,
+ throttling etc. (Marcel Hendrickx email of Sep 11 '09)
- allow toolbar to go vertical
- toolbar buttons should react to button 2/3 click to modify settings
- for that tool?
+ for that tool!!
- paste text directly into xournal, from xournal?
(instead of starting a text item and pasting into/from it)
- insert links (to URLs; within document/to other xoj? hand mode navigates)
-- increase width of spinPageNo to fit 3 digits
-- should escape '_' to '__' in MRU menu entries (else become mnemonics)
- a command + keyboard shortcut to switch mappings (1<->2, 1<->3, 2<->3)
(A. Rechnitzer Sept 11, 2007)
- modify encoding of TrueType font subsets or provide cmap so pdf text
- smoothing of strokes (for users without tablets / with deficient drivers)
- lasso tool
-- load PDF pages only on demand (create empty pixmaps at first if can
- parse PDF geometry ourselves, else try pdfinfo ??)
- (and config option to limit total memory usage for PDF bitmaps)
+- add config option to limit total memory usage for PDF bitmaps
- ability to select entire page for copy-paste (as bitmap / reorder xournal)
- copy/paste of an entire page (beware if PDF bg is not compatible!)
- rewrite printing using GtkPrint + Cairo as GnomePrint replacement
- export as SVG, as bitmap (use Cairo for this)
- improved PDF viewer features (search text, hyperlink, page borders...)
(using full poppler api ?)
+- search text: among PDF background (using poppler); among text annotations

-- autoload *.pdf.xoj if present when opening *.pdf ???
- sticky notes (anchor visually text box to a bg location)
- use relative paths for bg documents (e.g. annotated PDF)
- flush display queue when drawing over a slow X server?
- lasso selection tool (see shoffsta patch)
(http://shoffsta.afraid.org/Projects/Xournal/)
- flatten (incl undo/redo...) - enabled only if nlayers>1
-- color chooser (papercolor, pen color); maybe more default colors
- cf. ojb patch #2083103 adds paper color chooser
+- color chooser (papercolor, pen color); have default colors and a history
+ appear as palette in there!
- printing: print-options, save printer settings (throughout a session,
and on disk) (maybe a separate config file .xournal/gnome-print-settings)
- help index
adjust event coordinates by inverse rotation).
- rotate PDF background pages (individually wrt each other, see #2099935)
- switch to libglade, and allow customization of key shortcuts (accels)
+
+- command to copy a selected shape to a keybinding that will paste it
+ (so one can define symbols to insert into typed notes) (e.g. "be able
+ to bind Ctrl-B to draw a \beta" for class notes). (shape, binding) sets are
+ local to one session (different for different classes; but save them into
+ the xoj file maybe ?) [Felix Giannelia 09/29/2009]
