Subject: [dev] An image editing extension for Open office writer
To: d...@openoffice.org


Hi all ,

I'm engaging in developing an extension for OO writer which allows users to

               * Re-size/Zoom images with different parameters
               * Rotate images by 90 degrees (right or left)
               * Rotate images from 0 degrees to 360 degrees
               * Crop images effectively
               * Compress Images
               * Download images to the app directly from Flickr.com
               * Take screen shots/web-cam snaps and edit them
               * Add text/watermarks to images

You need Java Run Time (JRE) in order to use this product .And as it
involves some system calls this is more suitable for Windows users( I
will update with a complete Linux version soon).This is still in beta
phase with lot of possible improvements .And I also have my own To
Do list which I'm hoping implement ASAP .You can visit

       Google project hosting page

       Open Office Extensions Page
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/pixelpluz

       Youtube Introduction Video

As this is my first step towards this wonderful and giant Open source
developing community ,I will be really glad if you can hit me back
with any feed backs .Please comment on the above pages mentioning any
drawbacks/bugs/improvements .

Thanks in advance !

 Nguyen ,

I tried to install your latest version(2) on Windows 3.3 RC8 it 
installed but no reaction when klicking on your toolbar 


From the video i saw a usefull extension, but :-) your exellent work 
do not help us to overcome a important Openoffice  weakness: No way to 
define the print Intentions who means where and how will the document 
and the included pictures been printed. The most important Print 
Intention is the  resolution needed for the  the device where the 
document sould been printed.



For screen we need 96 pixels par inch
for Laserprinters 150 ppi
for professional offset 254 ppi.

I supose your tool get (just like OO) the resolution from the picture 
file header, what is not a good idea, the autor of a picture do not know 
on what device the picture sould been reproduced ! It is important to 
define the ppi when loading the picture in the document, so the tool 
can  calculate the the minimum and maximum dimensions (in mm, inches...) 
off the  picture.


Hope its helps

Fernand
