Nice!
Hoping it can import .doc and pagestream documents.
And printing would be nice.

Looks good to me - Printing of documents is the most needed feature for me as well.
( a few more and you can build an office suite out of your programms )

Great. I'm looking forward.
Until now I'm a serious Pagestream user but because of the lack of development I'm looking around for something that can replace PGS.

regards Tom

Really?? This is great news!

Hi Tomo, I also use PGS 4.x professionnaly and I know that there is some development going on for PGS 5.x but no fixed release date yet. But for serious DTP needs, this new program will certainly take quite some time to have all the features of PGS implemented.

Christoph

Can I make a donation somwhere?

Thomething to play with... Calimero_0.05

New:

+ The TextEditor-MUI-Class is nearly finished
+ Editor for Header / Footer are includet now (It's little bit hidden in the menubar)
+ Document-MUI-Class are nearly finished
+ Many many C - structs are includet now ( for a whole document are lot of structs needet)
+ Cursor-Handler is finished
+ NO program killer are includet. At this time this prog flows like a cloude. :)

Test it !!

Excellent news!

My wish is Calimero will handle better big documents (more than 20 pages) when reading and writing them on .odt format than Scriba.

This sort of work is very dificult with Scriba. Writing à 20 pages document can take over 5 minutes at 100% CPU usage.

I'm very happy with this news and will contribute with some euros

Quote:

Calimero handles later ebook. with max 500 pages.
The document-mui-class split pages from documents to a separate data-struct.
This data-struct is a closed stream and much faster to handle as Scriba can do.
Calimero is the future.

pegasos-sigi2 : very good news

Thanks

@all : if you want support Carsten in this project, you can do a small donation on the dedicated bounty available on www.warmup-asso.org

It would be very nice if Carsten would commit his work into a public git or subversion repository.
Than other developers can support him or continue his work if he again drops it.

New Version: Calimero 0.3

New:

+ Support of lists (see the Screenshot) calimero_0.3.jpg
+ Add contextsplit feature to Textedit-mui-class (edit text / edit objects)

+ add picture handler
+ add pictures to memory management system
+ Support of background pictures

+ Support of "jump between pages" . A feature of the url sting gadged.

If you enter a single number into the url string gadged, Calimero jump
to the given pagenumber.

Calimero 0.3 is in alpha state, because it eats memory from time to time.
Any buttons are did't work and any function did'nt work correctly for now.

I change it fast as possible, but i have only two hands :))
