Hi there, Alex (who I think is in this list) took the pdf search code I implemented and was able to get it to display. That was a great help, because I had no idea how that needed to be done.
I looked at his code, and was trying to complete it, but discovered that the model I had in mind when I started the search module was going to fail. So I decided to restart again. The current model is: - a Page has a searchLayer (where the results are displayed). - It currently only makes sense in a document with a pdf background). - By default it is empty, - As one searches, this search layer highlights the results (and contains them as rectangles) - An entire document is searched at once. This could be slow in long documents, but it is the cost of complexity--think evince that uses different threats to do it-- versus the simplicity of xournal. The current model, however, could allow to load "one" page at a time. So far, we can: * Find matches * Attach the results to the search layer of the pages * Display the results when the page is refreshed It needs some work to get the details working: * Refresh current page when matches found * Fine tune user interface * Remove current results before the new results are displayed * Jump to next/previous match. * Highlight current match If anybody is interested in hacking it: https://github.com/dmgerman/xournal Sorry Alex, for the huge diversion from your branch. --dmg -- -- Daniel M.
