Maybe I was not clear enough in the review but it's not only going to be used in the filters. If that had been the case I would indeed have put it under filters/. The docx filter is only the first user. As I think I wrote in the review request I have a half-finished patch that uses this and that lets Karbon retain the graphic styles that it currently discards. I think that's a very important fix and it has bugged me for a long time that it doesn't preserve them. I will finish this and put it up for review so you can see how it can be used in one of the applications too. > Thorsten. _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
