Hi, hoodle lovers :-) I am pleased to announce hoodle v0.1.1. In this version, I added the following functionality and made several improvement. * context (popup) menu support : after you select, you will see a context menu for the selected items (make pdf, make svg, cut, copy, delete ...) You can also make your own context menu by scripting $HOME/.hoodle.d/start.hs. I will explain this later in this email. * text input support : text can be entered. currently font cannot be changed yet. * SVG import support : SVG can be imported as vector graphics * JPG import support : in addition to PNG, now JPG can be imported * embedding image : by default, hoodle now embed image in the file. It can be turned off by checking off in option menu. * full screen mode support * color picker support * rendering engine is improved much I have added the following experimental functions. * LaTeX input support (more precisely itex and MathML) : using lasem library ( https://live.gnome.org/Lasem git repository : http://git.gnome.org/cgit/lasem/ ), mathematical expression input is supported. * smooth scrolling Internally, hoodle generates SVG image from text (and latex input), so that it can be viewed exactly the same for any computer and font configuration. Hoodle has a scripting support like xmonad. If you have $HOME/.hoodle.d/start.hs , then the script will be automatically compiled using dyre and you can customize your hoodle. There are not so many hooks available yet, but I will add more and more hooks as time goes. Currently, I use file name suggestion hook (using current date/time) and custom context menu. (using this, I automatically generate png image from selected items and put it on my dropbox folder. This turned out extremely useful.) See my example start.hs : https://gist.github.com/4551914 Installation is always simple :-) after
cabal update
you can install hoodle without poppler (pdf rendering support)
cabal install hoodle
or with poppler (pdf rendering support) : recommended
cabal install -fpoppler hoodle-render hoodle-core hoodle
If you have previous version of hoodle on your system, to uninstall previous version
ghc-pkg unregister coroutine-object --force ghc-pkg unregister hoodle-types --force ghc-pkg unregister xournal-types --force
then install using cabal as above. Please give it a try. Hope that you will enjoy the new version. best, Ian-Woo Kim p.s. if you are interested in hoodle development and any questions about using hoodle, please subscribe to hoodle google group ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/hoodle ) .
