List of features to be implemented (not in any particular order)
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+- collaborative editing (see discussion with Erik Demaine)
+- porting to Win32 and MacOS
+- multiple-scenario undo history
+
+- render page to bitmap: for export, preview, and copy-paste
+ (render using libart, see how gnomecanvas does it?)
+ (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
+
- paste text directly into xournal, from xournal?
(instead of starting a text item and pasting into/from it)
-- internationalization / translation of interface
-- a command + keyboard shortcut to switch between mappings (1<->2, 1<->3)
+- increase width of spinPageNo to fit 3 digits
+- a command + keyboard shortcut to switch mappings (1<->2, 1<->3, 2<->3)
(A. Rechnitzer Sept 11, 2007)
+
+- lasso tool
+- internationalization / translation of interface
+- switch to poppler instead of pdftoppm; with exact float dpi settings
+- 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)
+- 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???
+
+
+- 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?
+- more paper customization (in particular, 1/2 inch graph paper)
+- option to map a button to a context menu (incl. tool selection, ...)
+- option to map a button to "undo"
- 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 ??)
- (and config option to limit total memory usage for PDF bitmaps)
- --- switch to poppler lib instead of pdftoppm
- lasso selection tool (see shoffsta patch)
(http://shoffsta.afraid.org/Projects/Xournal/)
- flatten (incl undo/redo...) - enabled only if nlayers>1
-- resize selection
- 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)
- help index
-- pressure sensitivity
-- insert images (screen capture or from file or from clipboard),
- not as full-page backgrounds (new ITEM type)
+- option for highlighter to be always at bottom of its layer
- 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 ?
- 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
- 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.
- handwritten stroke search in document (see cellwriter?)
- option: export to PDF with incremental pages for successive layers
(for presentations) (Daniel Brugarth 8/18/07)
-- render page to bitmap: for export, preview, and copy-paste
- (render using libart, see how gnomecanvas does it?)
- (copy-paste: config option to render only current layer or all below?)
-- cut-and-paste of selection into other apps (as bitmap; as SVG?)
-- ability to select entire page for copy-paste (as bitmap / reorder xournal)
-- Lukasz Kaiser 8/15/07 shapes patch (approximate stroke by geometric shapes)
- (make it an optional mode of the pen, like the ruler)
- (rewrite without gsl dependency?)
- (config file should be loaded from share/... and .xournal/...)
- (disconnected shapes: add timestamps to strokes?)
- Samuel Hoffstaetter: lasso, gettext localization, sidebar thumbnails, ...
+- YoYo Siska patch for desktop mode ??
+- Vivek Ayer: rotate paper wrt screen (for environments where display
+ rotation doesn't work): gnome_canvas_item_affine_relative(canvas->root, ...)
+ would rotate all but text items (still need to modify scroll bbox, and
+ adjust event coordinates by inverse rotation).
+- switch to libglade, and allow customization of key shortcuts (accels)
