To Do List for gLabels 4.0 -- 2019-10-07
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
- [x] Expose user variables to glabels-batch
|
|
|
|
There should be a way to set initial values of user variables from the glabels-batch
|
|
command line. Possibly even create them on the fly.
|
|
|
|
- [x] Improve print copies UI
|
|
|
|
As with previous versions of glabels, there should be a way of selecting
|
|
the number of sheets to print. Merge printing should be able to be collated
|
|
or not, and if printing multiple copies, start on the same first label.
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Write help documentation
|
|
|
|
- [x] Add "User Variables" feature
|
|
|
|
Add page to MainWindow to
|
|
|
|
- Define variables,
|
|
- Set their initial values
|
|
- Control how they might increment (per item instance, per item copy, per page)
|
|
|
|
Save as part of glabels project file
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [x] Add support for arbitrary label shapes
|
|
|
|
I.e. similar to an SVG path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [x] Add support for "Continuous Roll" labels
|
|
|
|
If product template is for a continuous roll, define a mininum and default length.
|
|
This determines h and dy
|
|
|
|
Add option to Properties page to adjust this value
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Do List for post gLabels 4.0 -- 2019-03-17
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Create a "built-in" merge source
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to external merge sources, let the user edit the merge source
|
|
in situ. The user can add fields. The user can add records using those fields.
|
|
The user created database will become part of the glabels project file.
|
|
For simple databases, such as a small address list, this would be much easier
|
|
to deal with than creating it externally.
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Printer calibration tool
|
|
|
|
There desperately needs to be a printer calibration tool. At a minimum
|
|
the tool should allow adjusting horizontal and vertical offsets. The
|
|
adjustments should be unique to each printer.
|
|
|
|
I am thinking of a test page with a cross in the center. It would have a
|
|
grid around this cross, indicating how much to adjust x & y. The user
|
|
would fold the paper in quaters and use this grid to guestimate the offsets.
|
|
|
|
There should be warnings about how printers may drift from calibration or
|
|
even not have repeatable results.
|
|
|
|
A more sophisticated tool, could adjust for scaling and skew, but it would
|
|
be very difficult to interact with the user on these.
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Add programmable margin to text objects
|
|
|
|
The current built-in fixed margin seems to confuse people when dealing with
|
|
different horizontal and vertical alignments.
