Re: [dev] Beta version of XVisualNavigator (XVN)
Thanks a lot for the feedback, Actually what i wanted to say is that i want to make it support to other operating systems also such as linux etc..As i think what you suggest is the most suitable method to integrate it to Openoffice. i too hope to implement it that way in my future efforts. I appreciate for making time to try XVN and giving a feedback.This will help me to implement XVN far better. -- Shameera Rathnayaka Undergraduate Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Moratuwa.

Re: [dev] Beta version of XVisualNavigator (XVN)
Hi Shameera, nice extension so far. What do you mean exactly with platform independent? As far as i can see it is implemented in Java. Anyway a better and smoother integration in the office UI would be nice. I mean using the internal toolkit from the office and make it dockable etc.. I know it is more work and not so nice to use as Java directly but the integration in the office is definitely smoother and better. It would be a pleasure for me to help you where i can.

[dev] Beta version of XVisualNavigator (XVN)
hi all , I have implemented a visual navigation extension for Openoffice writer. As a solution for the issue on http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41087 i came up with XVN - XVisualNavigator(beta version) which can be used to overcome the issue of Reading Layout view. XVN shows a window by left side of the top-window which contains small thumbnails of all pages of the current document. Thumbnails are clear and user could see the contents of the pages to identify the particular page. This will help for every OO writer user and specially the users who work with large documents. *Functions of XVN * 1. User can see each page separately with clear thumbnail view. 2. There are four navigation buttons Next, Previous, Home, End . 3. Refresh button to refresh the XVN. 4. The selected page is in highlighted mode. 5. Navigation by just clicking on the relevant page. 6. Automatically resizing with top-window. *To Do List* * * 1. Auto refresh when add or delete pages action happens to the document. 2. Auto refresh modified or edited page when the user moves to another page. 3. Make XVN platform independent. *Link to the extensions repository* http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/XVN#comment-3432 *Google code link* http://code.google.com/p/x-visual-navigator/ *Trial video of XVN* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqZVU-cDkl4 All your new suggestions and comments are mostly welcome for my further implementations to the XVN.
