Hi,<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Hello,<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">GSoC got over a few days back and after completing my exams, I am now back at work.<br>
<br>(My project was to make a new mode in Stage for single canvas presentations. I made a new shape - PresentationViewPortShape and a tool for it. But I tested everything in Karbon alone where I could save the animated SVG presentation.)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Good work done so far, happy to see you again :-)<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>Now, I have a question:<br>Should Stage have a new mode for this feature or should we have an all new app in Calligra for this?<br><br> -- Stage, being the presentation app, is the place where a user would come to make a presentation.<br>
</blockquote><div>I am really sure users don't want to use the normal presentation app to make this kind of presentation. People (out of the open source things) just ask "which app does it ?", not "does powerpoint able to make this kind of presentation ?". It's also a really other way of thinking, not a simple different way to show informations. Adding this feature will change every thing in stage: most of tools and views are a non-sense for the svg presentation. SVG edit tools are missing in stage. So it means that a new mode should be created, removing most of the stage things, including the canvas, and most of all Karbon should be added in there... Of course, the viewer we have cannot receive a SVG presentation... You just have to look at the GSoC results to see this, include the SVG presentations in karbon was done, but in stage, it was way more hard! If the solution is chosen, a big redesign of stage has to be done for the mode, which look like a 2 applications in one.<br>

<br> -- But since the workflow is very different from making a normal slide show, the mode 'might' become confusing. Jean suggested we have a new application for this feature. But, should Calligra have a whole new app dedicated to this? <br>
</blockquote><div>As you said, I am really convinced it's the way to choose. By the way it doesn't really add complexity. At least it avoids breaking the applications concepts. And in this way, we could have specialized tools and view for the SVG presentations.<br>

<br> -- In Stage I still haven't been able to work out how to save and load an
SVG. In Karbon, afaik, a KarbonDocument is converted to an SVG. What
should be used in its place in Stage?<br></blockquote><div>Karbon is IMO a non sense, the user doesn't matter it is a SVG... he doesn't see the technical side.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
