Hi, I am looking into the development of xournal for some time and got a bit confused. There is a C++ branch which seems to get some but not much work at the moment. There is a SVN and a GIT. In the GIT there seems to be a GTK3 branch. Some Github forks exists as well.
I couldn't figure out what is the actual up-to-date repro resp. from where to start. Should one wait for the GTK3 port? Is there any future for the C++ branch? Furthermore, I have a bit trouble to start reading the code. Is there any developer manual? Filestructure, coding style, etc.? Actually, I want to add a presentation mode to xournal. That is (ordered by piority): a) An extra window which mirrors the content of the actual drawing area (to be placed on the video projector screen) b) Make xournal aware of LaTeX beamer, which creates frames and slides... a frame can consists of several slides to mimic the effect of animations (add text and images part by part to the same frame). Thus, a PDF which contains only a single frame might consist of several pages. It would make sense, that Xournal keeps all kind of annotation until the next frame. d) Create a pane on the main window to see the next slide (and/or frame) e) Display presentation time (either way, just a clock, time in minutes or time left) c) Switch state of the presentation window into black, white or freeze (keep the slide to allow the presenter to search through the presentation and after the right frame/slide is found unfreeze and the presentation window will be updated) d) set and jump to bookmarks easily I would be very glad if you could give me some feedback on how difficulte it would be to reach the above aims. Would that be something of general interest for xournal or should it be a fork like xournal-presenter? Was there already some activity in this direction?
