Notices

Actually I think I am going to release it as is now in extras-devel with a big warning

I will then release updates everytime I have a "devel-stable" release that for example won't crash at startup

Anidel

I have uploaded version 0.4.5 Fremantle1 to Extras Devel, please, if you can, test it and report issues..

It's unstable and very work in progress.
I've synched the code to upstream 0.4.5 and using lib poppler and at the same time I'm redesigning a bit the UI.

So .. bear in mind while things change under your nose

I will update Know Issues here:

-> Color chooser doesn't change tool color yet

Nice work on the new version, Anidel, and thanks for the update.
One question, though. I haven't used desktop Xournal much, so this may just be ignorance, but what does the new button with the arrows do? Or rather, what is its intended use-case? I can see what it does, but I didn't immediately understand what the point was. Please note that I'm not criticizing you or implying that it isn't useful, but rather that I'm just missing the point.
Thanks,

Which button ? You mean the two arrow buttons for Undo/Redo ?

Note also that many icons are stock GTK ones and need to be re-designed.

Also this version introduces the concept of 'mode':

- Drawing mode
- PDF mode
- Notes mode



You can find this in the menu. They merely change the toolbar to show you the most useful tools you may need in that mode.

And there's a small issue that the default mode when you start up doesn't match the selected menu item.

Also you will see the toolbars will contain less items (per toolbar).
This is because there will be mode toolbars (three) and to have the same basic mode tools available in portrait mode as well (we'd loose undo/redo probably)...

Anyway throw in your ideas...
I am sorry if I didn't incorporate previous ideas yet, but they will find a way in...

I like the pdf, notes, drawing modes. Text input is quite uncomfortable as is now, but I'm sure you're going to get better results

Yep, as soon as I'll sqeeze in Select and move, I will probably just pop-up a text dialog where you insert the text and it'll appear where you touched.
Instead of as it is now where you type straight into the note a la WYSIWYG.

<br>Don't know if that's the best way though. Think of that guy who uses Xournal for correcting school papers... maybe some kind of wysiwyg is useful, and writing in a popup text box might be inconvenient. If the dynamic window where the text is entered can be made higher, one can see it better while keying it in.<br>

Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for porting and extending xournal for the n900 - its fab! :O)

Wow thank you !

That's much appreciated
