Denis Auroux twisted the bytes to say:
Hi Denis,
I am going to split the two features into two threads so we don't ignore
one for the other
Denis> - An option to make the creation of new pages use default style paper
Denis> (only if the current page is a PDF page? always?) The current behavior
Denis> is to always imitate the current page, which some seem to find
confusing
Denis> when the current page is a PDF page. This would probably be only in the
Denis> config file, perhaps turned off by default -- the page menu is already
Denis> cluttered enough as it is, and non-power users can always do "Page ->
Denis> Default paper" after creating the new page.
Denis> Or is the request to create a completely blank white page of the same
Denis> size as the PDF page that would be created, rather than a default-style
Denis> page? (i.e., continue to create pages that "look like" the current one,
Denis> but make an exception for PDF pages to make a blank white page instead?)
Here is the code that matters (I implemented it sometime ago and have
not looked into it for a long time, but it was in my messy fork that has
lots of features integrated...
I created a flag (loaded from config and an option in the menu) to be
used if the document has a background.
ui.bg_new_background_from_pdf
if true, new page uses current behaviour
if false, new page uses default page
in struct Page *new_page(struct Page *template):
-----
if (pg->bg->type == BG_PDF && !ui.bg_new_background_from_pdf) {
// for pdfs load trhe default background
pg->bg = (struct Background *)g_memdup(ui.default_page.bg, sizeof(struct
Background));
} else {
pg->bg = (struct Background *)g_memdup(template->bg, sizeof(struct
Background));
}
---
To implement it only in the config:
in typedef struct UIData {
gboolean bg_new_background_from_pdf;
--
in void init_config_default(void):
ui.bg_new_background_from_pdf = FALSE;
...
in void save_config_to_file(void)
I think that is all that is needed, plus the code for the variable:
update_keyval("paper", "new_background_from_pdf",
_("If a pdf is loaded, if true new pages are created by copying
current PDF page, otherwise it creates new page with default paper"),
g_strdup(ui.bg_new_background_from_pdf?"true":"false"));
...
in void load_config_from_file(void)
parse_keyval_boolean("paper", "new_background_from_pdf",
&ui.bg_new_background_from_pdf);
Denis> Daniel, I think you have opinions on both of these items; let me know
Denis> what you think. Also, any other items that seem similarly highly
Denis> desirable, easy to implement (or review if already implemented
Denis> somewhere), and useful to many users?
