Being a rainy public holiday here in the UK, I decided it would be a
|
||
|
|
good time to update you all on v2, since we've now sailed past revision
|
||
|
|
800 and there have been a number of changes since the last update.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've been continuing to work on Song Imports and have now added the
|
||
|
|
ability to import Word/Writer and Powerpoint/Impress documents via an
|
||
|
|
interface with OpenOffice.org. The import itself is fairly basic and
|
||
|
|
makes some assumptions on the format of the file, but will hopefully
|
||
|
|
save some typing in many cases. I've also worked on the remote interface
|
||
|
|
and now made it possible to control OpenLP with a web browser. This will
|
||
|
|
require the remote plugin to be enabled and then connecting to
|
||
|
|
http://localhost:4316. It's very basic at the moment, and it doesn't
|
||
|
|
have any inbuilt security so if your church computer is on the internet
|
||
|
|
or public network then you will need to consider the risks.
|

Tim has been battling with text over video and has got it working on
|
||
|
|
some systems, although not on all - but we're hoping to find a solution
|
||
|
|
for all platforms soon. He has also given us line spacing adjustments,
|
||
|
|
the ability to override the output resolution if preparing a service for
|
||
|
|
a computer with a different setup, the show desktop and theme output
|
||
|
|
buttons are now working, some nice drag and drop improvements and an
|
||
|
|
improved Nursery Alert system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meanwhile Jon has been working on saving the application layout so
|
||
|
|
everything looks the same as when you last ran it, a recent file list
|
||
|
|
and a fair bit of cleaning up after the mess some of us other devs leave
|
||
|
|
behind :)
|
||
|

Raoul has made some improvements to the song editor to allow author
|
||
|
|
names to be typed in and auto-completed, which is easier than choosing
|
||
|
|
from a big list. Finally, in development are also some
|
||
|
|
internationalisation fixes, song import wizard improvements and one
|
||
|
|
developer has also been experimenting with spell-check, but we'll have
|
||
|
|
to wait and see if this makes it into the final version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alpha 2 is still a fair way off, but as you can see there are going to
|
||
|
|
be a good number of improvements. If you want to see what we're hoping
|
||
|
|
to achieve, then please check out our Milestone page
