List of features to be implemented (not in any particular order)
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- map tools to stylus buttons (maybe: btn click on toolbar item affects
- the corresponding tool; tool switching cleaner than for eraser)
-- 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)
- (SEE ALSO FEATURE REQUEST 1472482 and reply to it - optional behavior too?)
-- lasso selection tool
-- prefs file, save prefs
+- collaborative editing (see discussion with Erik Demaine)
+- porting to Win32 and MacOS; merge Nokia port
+- multiple-scenario undo history
+
+- collaborative: allow non-x86 endianness (for ints, for floats?)
+- collaborative: have an initial undo item = contents of the initial
+ xoj file + attachments for bitmap, pdf, and ps backgrounds
+
+- cleanup of undo history (keep track of refcounts, delete old undo)
+ save-and-clear-undo ?
+
+- RandR / recalibration awareness?
+ (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?
+
+DONE: fix GTK+ 2.16/2.17 XInput issues with scrollbars and menus
+DONE: fix bug 2826845 (shape recognizer accel doesn't work in fullscreen mode)
+DONE: bug affecting resize zone in statusbar
+DONE: page spinbutton wide enough for 3 digits; avoid "deprecated" warning
+DONE: edit->paste command should refresh toolbar to unselect color/thickness
+ (so can repaint sel)
+DONE: cursor doesn't reset properly after selection operation if primary
+ tool is select mode (stays with arrow cursor instead of pointer)
+DONE: device with "eraser" at the end of its name is of type ERASER
+ (Edward Yang)
+DONE: fix_xinput_coords() replaces buggy xinput events by core pointer
+ coordinates
+DONE: use poppler to render PDF backgrounds (after patches contributed
+ by Mike Ter Louw and Bob McElrath)
+DONE: gettext internationalization (contributed by David Planella)
+DONE: Catalan translation (by David Planella); French translation
+
+****** URGENT: gtkprint; new release by November end for Debian!
+ nb: libgnomeprint produces many warnings (spinbutton; gpa assertions)
+
+- 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?)
+** auto-hide patch from ~/prog/src/xournal-autohide/ ?
+ (check for cpu usage, add flag if need be; 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])
+- new recognizer icon (andruk on patches tracker)
+- recognizer: if variable-width, associate average width
+- recognizer should snap to existing recognized geometric shapes
+
+- 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)?
+- 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?
+
+- 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
+
+- allow toolbar to go vertical
+- toolbar buttons should react to button 2/3 click to modify settings
+ 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
+ can be extracted
+
+- 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)
+- 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)
+- improved PDF viewer features (search text, hyperlink, page borders...)
+ (using full poppler api ?)
+
+- use system paper size as default (/etc/papersize)
+- 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?
+- more paper customization (in particular, 1/2 inch graph paper)
+ (2 custom papers with settings in config file?
+ a folder with blank PDF or xoj papers and quick-access?)
+- 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
-- resize selection
-- text tool, font chooser, default font
- color chooser (papercolor, pen color); maybe more default colors
-- 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
+ cf. ojb patch #2083103 adds paper color chooser
+- 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???
+- slanted tip pens (calligraphy)
+- toolbar buttons to access custom preset tools (e.g. text or pen with settings)
+- text boxes with opaque background
- 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
+- option to link layer creation and visibility status for all pages
+ (Eric Borghs 04/15/08)
+- 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
+ see galileon comment on 2008-07-29 to tracker #1925309: word recognizer
+- handwritten stroke search in document (see cellwriter?)
+ (correlate inertia-normalized strokes in lift to unit cotangent bundle?)
+- 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).
+- rotate PDF background pages (individually wrt each other, see #2099935)
+- switch to libglade, and allow customization of key shortcuts (accels)
