-- lasso selection tool
-- prefs file, save prefs
-- recent files list
+List of features to be implemented (not in any particular order)
+----------------------------------------------------------------
-- flatten (incl undo/redo...) - enabled only if nlayers>1
-- bg: apply to all pages
-- recolor selection
-- move selection to another page by drag-drop
- (should apply to vertspacer when origin moves to another page,
- but in the up direction only do so when all the stuff fits on prev page)
+- collaborative editing (see discussion with Erik Demaine)
+- porting to Win32 and MacOS
+- multiple-scenario undo history
+
+- 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,
+ since otherwise there's too much risk of splitting a segment into 2)
+- snap-to-grid (also for ruler & recognizer vertices)
+ and maybe also snap-to-vertices (option for ruler and recognizer)?
+- allow broken PDF with some 19-byte xref entries (LF instead of CRLF).??
+ (Phil Rhoades 3/25/08)
+
+- 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)
+- 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)
-- text tool, font chooser, default font
-- color chooser (papercolor, pen color)
-- printing: print-to-PDF? (with & without pdf background to merge)
- opacity issue for highlighter strokes (maybe print them below ?)
- save gnome printer settings (throughout a session, and on disk)
- (maybe a separate config file .xournal/gnome-print-settings)
-....
-- file print-options, own print-to-ps/pdf
+- 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)
+- 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)
+- 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
+- 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
-- convert to/from Jarnal format
+- option for highlighter to be always at bottom of its layer
+- more pen/highlighter shapes (chisel)
+- 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 ?
+ 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?)
+- option to save all annotated files within the .xoj
+- non-antialiased version for handhelds
+- customize autogenerated save file names
+- 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?)
+- 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)
+- 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.
+- handwriting recognition???? (cellwriter?) unlikely. we don't have grids
+- handwritten stroke search in document (see cellwriter?)
+- option: export to PDF with incremental pages for successive layers
+ (for presentations) (Daniel Brugarth 8/18/07)
+- 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)
