And more Krita...

* Most view plugins are ported. Cyrille is going to do the scripting plugin, 
I'm not sure whether it's worth the trouble to convert the performance 
testing plugin, but I may just do that.

* Most of the old KisView functionality is back -- I need to take a good hard 
look at obsolete/kis_view to check what's still missing.

* the imagesize plugins works, so Casper can check for himself whether his 
patch for scaling does produce excellent results, or whether he can do 
better. (No hurry, zooming is more important!)

* the convert colorspace plugin works, so Cyrille can start porting all 
colorspaces to pigment and debugging them.

* painting works, if and only if, you remember to select the paint tool before 
you click on the canvas and remember that you explicitly need to select a 
paintop before painting. The first problem will go away when I redo the shape 
hieararchy inside krita, the second problem is weird, but probably not to 
hard to fix.

There are a couple of big gaps, though:

* zooming/resolution. Maybe the zoom actions, buttons and mouse-wheel handling 
should go into kofficecore or koffficeui?

* something is amiss with our mime-types that makes krita crash in kio. I've 
got a patch for kdelibs that makes kio more robust in the face of mime-type 
misconfiguration, but I'd like to figure out what's wrong on our side, too.

* redisplay is very, very buggy right now. Try scaling an image down or 
painting on a second layer or something. This is intricately linked with 
zooming, though, because the old windowtoview  and viewtowindow methods no 
longer exist in the new flake world, so it's hard to figure out what to 
update.

* selections and grids are not yet painted. Note: the selection needs to be 
painted _after_ scaling, not before as it is done in 1.6.

* opengl needs to be put back. This should be relatively simple -- once I 
figure out what the imagecontext does.

* tools need to be ported

* statusbar needs to be re-layouted and mostly implemented

* there are many, many bugs everywhere!
 
* rulers and snapping guides need to be taken from koffice and used in Krita. 
Also linked with zooming/resolulation.

* the tool options dialog doesn't show the composite ops yet

* lots of other bugs. We need a complete list, or better, fix them all.

Note:

KisVIew is fairly simple right now. Almost all functionality is delegated to 
managers for layers, images, zooming and more. This has really made porting 
the view plugins a lot simpler.
