https://sourceforge.net/p/trackchanges/feature-requests/2/Recent changes to 2: acceptChanges frontend: Cross-platform Java frontendenWed, 31 May 2006 08:26:46 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/trackchanges/feature-requests/2/<div class="markdown_content"><p>In order to provide cross-platform support, I suggest<br /> that a Java-based frontend should be developed.</p> <p>The core functionality should include:</p> <p>- open / save / save as ... file actions<br /> - filtering of trackchanges:<br /> o process only commands with certain initials:<br /> this enables that a user can accept / reject<br /> changes of himself/herself or of another<br /> dedicated user<br /> o process only a selection of commands:<br /> for example: only \note and \annote commands<br /> should be processed<br /> - a button to accept all changes/adds/removes<br /> - a button to reject all changes/adds/removes<br /> - a button to accept the selected changes/adds/removes<br /> - a button to reject the selected changes/adds/removes<br /> - a button to remove all notes/annotes<br /> - a button to remove the selected notes/annotes</p> <p>In order to select changes quick and easy, the entire<br /> document has to be presented and changes must be<br /> highlighted. </p> <p>My idea was to add a checkbox to each change command<br /> such that the user can go over the document and simply<br /> select the changes with the mouse. <br /> An alternative to a checkbox would be to present<br /> changes like links on a webpage: the user can directly<br /> click on the text to select / deselect it. Once<br /> selected the text must change color.</p> <p>The optimum presentation would be that the frontend<br /> interacts with a DVI viewer! The user could go over the<br /> DVI document, click on a marked change and the GUI<br /> would jump to the appropriate position in the<br /> source.... but that's maybe too much ...</p></div>Felix SalfnerWed, 31 May 2006 08:26:46 -0000https://sourceforge.net7675574ff8dc32d3d7fb0492813558da138b0284
