- The background selection palette now includes a slider to change the
size of the background grid. Default min/max values are 16 and 64px,
defined in UBSettings. Grid resizes dynamically as the slider is moved.
- Measuring tools' (ruler, triangle) markers follow grid size: 1 square
of the background grid corresponds to 1cm
- Grid size can be different for each page of a document
- Grid size is saved in the .svg
- Documents with a background grid but no specified grid size follow the
default size defined in UBSettings.
Previously, grid size was calculated based on DPI, which can vary from
one OS, computer or display to the next. This new setting allows
documents to be migrated from one machine to another with no unexpected
changes in grid size happening. It also makes it easy to correct any
problems importing old documents (whose grid size might be smaller or
larger than expected when imported on a new version of OpenBoard).
Application compiles and runs, with some caveats. Full list of changes:
- minor changes related to Qt4->Qt5 API differences
- Replaced calls to Carbon framework by Cocoa
- Removed registering of AE event handler. Seems to be done
automatically in Qt5.
- temporarily removed Podcast functionality, pending (presumably)
complete re-write due to Quicktime being obsolete in newer OS X
versions.
- Created OBCocoa namespace, and associated files src/core/OBCocoa.h/.mm, to
handle OS X - specific system calls. Currently used only by
UBApplication, but can in the future provide a useful interface between
the cocoa framework and OB, to avoid having too much OSX-specific code
in various files
If warnings was appeared - dialog with warnings details appeared. Each warning is a separate QTextEdit.
That mechanism is general for UBExportAdaptor and can be simple implemented and used in any import or export adaptor.
