------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 2 10:35:40 +0000 2007 ------- AW: Some more feedback (thanks for that) , Some more answers :-) First, to richlv: To 1: No good optin for me. Many people use the space outside the page when temporarily rearranging objects and stuff. It will also not bring a too big win: Instead of limiting to 1,20m and having the area, we would limit to 3,60m and have no area outside the page. To 2: This may indeed be a good option. If the people involved so far would accept that solution, we would just have config entries for the now in place 1.20m. Good suggestion! "are there any at least vague estimates on oo.org version/timeframe when large page sizes could be possible without or with small enough risk ?" Well, we constantly move forward and all stuff we touch or recreate is capable of better precision. It's still hard to estimate, the whole model is untouched ATM and so are other parts. We hope to have those enchancements for 3.0, but it's only a guess. Problem is manpower here. "what would be the maximal size with the planned doubled precision ?" Of course IEEE numbers also have technical limits, but they are more 'flexible' with numeric ranges than integers. When working on a bigger scale, the associated minimums get more unprecise and vice versa. Think about it this way: When using 5km and working on it, maybe details on 1/100th mm will be a little more rough. To make more precise statements i would have to go more deeply into the numbers, but with IEEE numbers i would just take the restriction to some km and also remove the maximum zoom bound of nowadays 3000% (guess the reason for that...) Now, mbayer: "Maybe it would be helping if you explained one thing: If we increased the maximum page size to, say, 5 m x 5 m, would the risk of wrong calculations only affect pages of > 119 cm, or pages of any size?" Only the new, bigger ones. "Does increasing the maximum page size jeopardize operations that we currently consider safe? Or does it just add a - though not reliable - plus?" Yes to the first. The possibility to run into some serioius errors 'jeopardizes' by the given factors. HTH. Maybe the configuration solution (see 2) would be good, i begin to favourize it.
