It should be easy to implement - any volunteers > wanting to add 50 lines of code? Sadly I'm not in a position to try currently. If my time would allow there were still the build process setup and C++ in the way. ;) Seriously spoken it appears really hard to get the necessary knowledge of the inner workings in the source and it's layers - not speaking of extensions here where the API and services are to deal with. I wonder how this hurdle could be lowered. I'm really not anxious regarding foreign code (I did some hacking in other projects like qcad1's dxf import or hdf5), but OO.o is a monster, isn't it?
