+- RandR / recalibration awareness? - NOT NEEDED ANYMORE?
(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.

+BEHAVIOR TODO:
+- option to have "Save Prefs" save current brushes as settings, not defaults
+- method to map more general devices to specific tools or to Ignore
+ (e.g.: X220T ignore trackpoint; map touchscreen to Hand, eraser to Eraser)
WIN32:
- test further
- write an installer

+- patch by S. Guest
+ shortcut to increase/decrease text font size by 1 point (?) - acts just
+ as if one had clicked font sel box and resized (affects sel text + cur font)
+
+- 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)
- PDF bg memory usage throttling / delete oldest pdf backgrounds
- replace ttsubset by something more modern? (eg. from cairo ?)
- 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
+** should also have in Journal -> Paper style the option "Pdf page ..."
+ which then lets us change the page number.
- new recognizer icon (andruk on patches tracker)
- recognizer: if variable-width, associate average width
- 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
doesn't get a rectangle, then use higher tolerance for everything else,
- 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.
+ NO: render using Cairo !!!
(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
+- maintain e-library: table of md5sums of pdfs with associations
+ to the corresponding xoj's absolute paths (cf. forum topic
+ "Use MD5..." of Dec 2009)
+
- see iRex code for generic viewer + PDF plugin including caching,
throttling etc. (Marcel Hendrickx email of Sep 11 '09)
- 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
- (keep GnomePrint option for compatibility with GTK+ <2.10)
-- insert images (screen capture or from file or from clipboard),
- not as full-page backgrounds (new ITEM type)
- convert to/from Jarnal format; to/from MS Journal format???
- export as SVG, as bitmap (use Cairo for this)
