• File format

Todo List

• Fix javascript kross plugin, or disable as it seems buggy, qtscript is ok. Now loads qtscript if available and javascript is selected - 3-Jul-2010
• KWord Export
• KSpread Export
  • Make row colour the same as section background
• Add more script events, such as on_load, to complement on_render.
  • http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/order-of-events-for-database-objects-HP005186761.aspx
• Properly sync size/pos properties between the editor and the item
• Make report entities (label/field etc) plugins, so its easier to add new ones ?
• Maybe use flakes, or create a report 'shape' that can be embedded elsewhere
• Add more math functions
• Undo/Redo support
• Dynamically adjust page margins when page units are changed
• Clean up the mess that is the barcode generators!
• Custom page sizes
• When pasting items, dont allow to go below bottom of section
• Page number/total
• HTML Export (maybe link in with webforms)
• --Fix to use KIO instead of QFile etc to allow saving to remote dir
• Allow functions defined in external scripts to be called, or add a 'modules' plugin as a place for user defined functions.
• Speed up background drawing - seems more dependant on gfx driver.... raster engine is faster than intel! Dont use antialisaing, or do use raster is the answer
• Sorting and Grouping for the datasource in KoReportData
• Use ODF text paragraphs for label text and allow ODF text for report values --jstaniek 13:54, 6 February 2010 (PST)
  • we could paint whatever ODF allows for a paragraph; for now some ODF attributes map exactly to QFont attrs
  • this is handled in KoCharacterStyle::saveOdf(KoGenStyle &style)
  • but at gui level editing is the problem: (we will need support in forms to enter the data, as well as support in report designer, to enter the static label text in ODF format)
• Future Item Plugins
  • Table Item
  • Sub Report
