sK1 Project | OpenSource Solutions for Prepress

The first reused part of UC 1.x is WMF importer. The code has been refactored and connected to UniConvertor 2.0 file format importers.

During last week we have implemented sK1 document model which is fully compatible by interfaces with original native sK1 document. This issue resolves several important tasks. At first we got importing of reference file format. This will help to improve PrintDesign rendering. At second, we can start porting Skencil application to Gtk+ widgetset using MVP pattern. At third (and this is major issue) we can reuse a lot of code from UniConvertor 1.x and by this way we are going to release UniConvertor 2.0 at the end of May.

The next development step is a Preferences dialog. We have implemented infrastructure for preferences plugins and added template for first item - Color Management preferences.

We have implemented guide object, guide creator and guide controller to drag guides. Of course snapping to guides is also implemented. So, snapping system is ready for production.




Also we added PageBorderPlugin to simplify page layout operations:

As we have said before, snapping to objects was almost ready. Today we have finally implemented this feature.




To simplify snapping management we added Snapping Plugin:




So the last item in snapping is a guides implementation. We think this issue will be resolved on Monday. Have a nice weekend!
