As you said the icon would be still on the way.
Like in the browser you can't seem to be able to tap on a link underneath the fading button (even when faded out).

With some logic you can make it work... we'll think about it.
But you can switch to fullscreen with CTRL-F already.

So Xournal finally made it to Fremantle Extras.

Next releases will fix:

-icons (will try to package and release three icon sets, the two kindly offered here and a default one)
- pressure sensitivity is back, found a weird way to make the raw values meaningful
- Bring back as many tools/settings as possible so that it becomes again fun to explore and use
- Few UI tweaks.
- Possibly forward merge my patches to the latest Xournal 0.4.5
- UPDATE: oh.. and Diablo

I am planning to also attend the "UX meets Code" hackfest in Barcelona in December, hopefully I'll gather some nice ideas on possible UI/UX improvements in Xournal.

There so much to do

Thanks for using it!

Aniello

I also need to make clearer and thank more Denis, the original Xournal author.

Hi guys,

here's an hint for whoever is lucky to have an N900 and uses Xournal.
If you miss the Undo/Redo buttons on the toolbar, simply add:

<toolitem action='Undo'/>
<toolitem action='Redo'/>
<separator/>

before the Fullscreen item in the file /usr/share/xournal/xo-hildon_ui.xml

(this will be part of next package [15]).

Package 14 is in Extras Testing and this one brings back pressure sensitivity, but I missed the Undo/Redo changes above

I am trying to add rotation to Xournal.

I have defined the DBus message sig as follows:

Code:

#define MCE_SIGNAL_MATCH "type='signal',"  \
       "sender='"    MCE_SERVICE                "'," \
       "path='"      MCE_SIGNAL_PATH            "'," \
       "interface='" MCE_SIGNAL_IF              "'"

then I've added a DBus filter and handler:

Code:

sys_conn = osso_get_sys_dbus_connection(ctx);
 if (sys_conn) {
       DBusError error;
       dbus_error_init (&error);
       dbus_bus_add_match (sys_conn, MCE_SIGNAL_MATCH, &error);
       if (dbus_error_is_set(&error)){
               printf("dbus_bus_add_match failed: %s\n", error.message);
               dbus_error_free(&error);
       }

       if (!dbus_connection_add_filter (sys_conn,
                 (DBusHandleMessageFunction) mce_filter_func, NULL, NULL)) {
               printf("Error dbus_connection_add_filter failed\n");
       } else {
               printf ("DBUS filter added\n");
       }`
 }

and defined the handler function:

Code:

DBusHandlerResult
mce_filter_func (DBusConnection *connection, DBusMessage *message, void *data)
{
       DBusMessageIter iter;
       const gchar *mode = NULL;

       printf ("MCE\n");

       if (dbus_message_is_signal(message, MCE_SIGNAL_IF,
MCE_DEVICE_ORIENTATION_SIG)) {
               printf ("is a orientation signal\n");
               if (dbus_message_iter_init(message, &iter)) {
                       printf ("getting mode\n");
                       dbus_message_iter_get_basic(&iter, &mode);

                       hildon_rotate_ui (mode);
               }
       }

       return DBUS_HANDLER_RESULT_NOT_YET_HANDLED;
}

It compiles, starts up, the MCE function gets called twice when
Xournal starts (it prints MCE twice) and gets called for several other
DBus messages (like screen lock/unlock), but NOT for rotate messages.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Solved thanks to maemo-developers.
I had to first start the accelerometer:

Code:

  if (osso_rpc_run_system(ctx, MCE_SERVICE, MCE_REQUEST_PATH,
          MCE_REQUEST_IF, MCE_ACCELEROMETER_ENABLE_REQ, NULL, DBUS_TYPE_INVALID) == OSSO_OK) {
        g_printerr("INFO: Accelerometers enabled\n");
  } else {
        g_printerr("WARN: Cannot enable accelerometers\n");
  }

and then stop them when leaving Xournal:

Code:

  if (osso_rpc_run_system(ctx, MCE_SERVICE, MCE_REQUEST_PATH,
          MCE_REQUEST_IF, MCE_ACCELEROMETER_DISABLE_REQ, NULL, DBUS_TYPE_INVALID) == OSSO_OK) {
        g_printerr("INFO: Accelerometers disabled\n");
  } else {
        g_printerr("WARN: Cannot disable accelerometers\n");
  }

There's only a bug that crashes Xournal if you start it in Portrait mode.

You've got to first start it in Landscape mode and then play with rotation

Package 15 is in Extras Devel ready to be tested.
I'll update Package 16 tonight and promote it to Testing.

Actually there's no bug

It works fine.. starts always in landscape mode, but rotates if phone is already in portrait.

We'll check phone rotation on start up to speed it up.

The color chooser doesn't work in portrait and forces the phone in landscape, but on closing it, Xournal returns in portrait mode.
Few buttons text looks truncated in Portrait, will shorten them up.

A part from them , the only things missing in Portrait is Fullscreen button. You can use CTRL+F but is not convenient.

Luckily you can use Xournal in portrait with keyboard open.. it looks quite useful indeed.. might bind several action to keys and they'd be there under your thumb.

Ok I think Xournal package 16 (it's still in my PC) will go live on -devel and -testing later today or tonight.
I think it's stable and the basic features are working fine.

My next step will be to use default icons and prepare the two icon sets that were kindly provided in this thread as separate packages.

Once that is done, I'll start to bring back all the missing features.
