Hi Folks,
I've been thinking about how to do the clip art dialog. The gnome
version is almost purely platform specific. To do a gtk version I think
I'll need to considerabally extend the XP preview class to enable
previews with scroll bars. This will be quite some work and of course will
require other platform maintainers to implement some platform specfic
code.
Another possibility would be to extend the current AbiPreview class to
enable preview modes with scrollbars. The idea would be to use AbiWord
itself to layout the images and text and to use to already existing code
to handle XP scrolls. This will probabally be slower to the user than a
pure preview. On the hand I think it will be easier to implement and will
provide useful code we could reuse elsewhere.
I favour this route. I anticipate getting this done by the end of the
week. It will not be trivial.
Other opinions?
Cheers
Martin
