I am making progress on joining up fragments. Since I still don't have
consensus on the continuation marker (and don't have a version of
PyPlucker that produces it), I am only testing with something like iSilo's
continuous mode (which will join up fragments in our case, if the doc was
properly sorted), but the technical issues are the same, and the only
change would have to be to one function to implement the continuation
marker.
It now does visually join up records across boundaries, and it crosses the
boundaries with paging controls.
What doesn't work yet:
- Anchors. Currently only anchors from one record show up on the
joint screen.
- History gets a little confused by the record boundary crossings.
I am not quite sure how to do this best. Also, going to a page
in history that should show a record boundary only shows one
record.
- Bookmarks probably don't work.
- A unified scrollbar. (Currently the scrollbar switches over
between records. I think I will leave fixing this for the last,
after I have everything else working well enough to commit.)
- Autoscrolling didn't work at boundaries last time I checked.
Speed is acceptable on POSE/NR70 on an 800mhz P-III. :-) There is a
visible delay when crossing boundaries, but it's not too bad. I have no
idea how POSE compares to a 68K unit. (It's about 2.5 times as slow as my
NX70.)
I will need help on the python end. First of all, Larry Virden's python
error was linked to my sorting of the documents and fragments. I guess I
should uncommit it as soon as he reports that the current cvs version
still has. Second, I will need help with implementing the continuation
bit. I am hoping someone will be willing to help me, given that the 32K
limit is the most common complaint.
