hi Everybody,
today the gtk3 port reached a major milestone: I was able to use
it---without problems or crashes---to edit an entire 10 pages PDF. 1/2
in linux and 1/2 in windows.
this weekend I was able to learn how to deal with the event handling in
gtk3 and fixed/simplified the major event handler in xournal
(on_canvas_button_press_event).
There are still bugs (but they happen when one loads a new document, I
think I found the trigger and I should kill it soon).
Here is a detail list of issues with the current version:
1. In my windows tablet the performance of scrolling is poor. this is
something I have already looked into, but the code needs to be
written/cleaned up. I believe we will get a performance similar to
the GTK2 version.
2. My windows tablet, even though it has a multitouch wacom tablet is
not sending a TOUCH event when I use touch. Instead it seems to merge
any mouse and touch click into a generic event source. In linux, on
the other hand each event is labelled with its real source. This
brings me to one of the benefits of gtk3: an event knows the core and
non-core device that trigger it. We don't have to deal with the extra
complexity of duplicated events in gtk2.
3. The windows port has problems setting the mouse while drawing. The
mouse flickers between arrow and point.
My priority will be to get the performance improved, since I am mainly
using Xournal on my Windows tablet.
