Blueprint changed by David Planella: Whiteboard changed: Scratch pad at http://pad.ubuntu.com/loviewer + + Questions for 14 Aug 2015 (Stefano) + + * Status of a convergent UI/UX design for DocViewer. + Since our ultimate target is to get a DocViewer version, suitable for both PCs and devices, we'd need to have a up-to-date design pattern in order to know how to manage zooming with different input devices. + + * PDF plugin re-design. + Ideally, this should be take just a week, as the tiled rendering for LOK is completed (with SG paiting and zooming). + + This has been a critical argument during the past meetings, since it's + not considered a priority. There's a number of reason why I think it + would be an important thing to do. + + I decided to design the PDF plugin as I did in October, during the Washington D.C. sprint, mainly for three reasons: we needed to make it work ASAP, there were already a pre-existent code, and I was not so good in write a proper plugin from scratch. :) + We have considered to use a Poppler plugin written for the SailfishOS Document Viewer, but there were potential issues with the used license. + + So we went with the current implementation, which has some issue: + + - Multithreading is not perfectly working on all the Ubuntu phones + - Zoom management is a mess (see issues with centred zoom) \o/ + - We are using Qt5 private imports + - Consistence of the code would be a lot broken, when we'll go for adding overlays (i.e. hypertext links, copy/paste, and search - which are priorities for the PDF plugin) + - It is not convergence-friendly. Current zoom management would just be a mess on desktops (i.e. it doesn't follow the standard way to zoom a PDF document of desktop) + + * Is it worth to move directly from UITK 1.1 to UITK 1.3? + I know that it would be a bit uncomfortable for devs to work on docviewer from desktop. + This is just a generic question: since our target is to release the reboot series in late-September, I think we could do it. Feel free to say no! :) + + * Has Jenkyns been enabled for builds from the "reboot" branch? + + * Any news about a new application icon? :D
