-REMAINING THINGS TO DO:
-
- 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?)
or see if removing the GTK bugfix would help? -- e.g. by recalling an
internal gtk init function?
+BUGS:
+** lingering issues with synaptics touchpads? (#2872667)
+ - add patch 0.4.5-fix-synaptics-v1.patch (fix ButtonDown events)
+ - 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?)
+
+WIN32:
+- test further
+- write an installer
+
+PATCHES TO INCORPORATE:
+** Italian translation (add_it_po.patch unless updated on tracker)
+ (by Marco Poletti)
** 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?
- PDF bg memory usage throttling / delete oldest pdf backgrounds
- replace ttsubset by something more modern? (eg. from cairo ?)
- 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
- 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
- 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?
- 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
