<hr />
<div>== Summary ==<br />
<br />
This blueprint covers an overhaul of the Document Properties dialog UI. The goal is to tighten the UI up by reorganizing it, moving features to other dialogs and adding new ones.<br />
<br />
Another goal is to prepare it for the use to create new documents as described in [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1362061 bug 1362061].<br />
<br />
== Key points of the new UI ==<br />
<br />
* Tightened up/simplified<br />
* Ability to accept and cancel all changes to the properties<br />
* Preview of current format<br />
* Ability to choose from the different templates<br />
* Current settings can be saved as new template<br />
<br />
== Design proposal ==<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
<br />
* Condensed color button<br />
<br />
=== ''Page'' tab ===<br />
<br />
* Merge ''Default units'' and ''Units'' fields (i.e. remove one of them)<br />
* Remove option to specify border color<br />
* Move display options to global ''Preferences'' dialog and allow toggling them via the ''View'' menu<br />
* Turn ''Page Size'' list into drop-down list<br />
* Add ''Templates'' drop-down list allowing to select from predefined templates setting all document properties at once<br />
* Add ''Save As Template...'' button allowing to save the current document properties as a template for other documents<br />
* Add preview of chosen page format<br />
* Add buttons to accept and cancel the changes (i.e. only apply the changes after accepting them and allowing to revert them)<br />
* Change ''Format'' field to ''Custom'' if width or height is changed to an unknown format<br />
* Rearrange remaining fields for a more compact layout<br />
<br />
[[File:New_Document_Properties_dialog_Page_tab.png]]<br />
<br />
=== ''Color'' tab ===<br />
<br />
* Rename ''Color'' tab to ''Colors''<br />
* Move button to remove color profile into ''Linked color profiles'' list<br />
<br />
[[File:New_Document_Properties_dialog_Colors_tab.png]]<br />
<br />
=== ''Meta Data'' tab ===<br />
<br />
* Merge options of ''License'' tab into ''Meta Data'' tab<br />
<br />
[[File:New_Document_Properties_dialog_Meta_Data_tab.png]]<br />
<br />
=== ''Guides'' and ''Grids'' tabs ===<br />
<br />
* Move options of ''Guides'' and ''Grids'' tabs into a separate new dialog<br />
* Turn grid tabs into list showing their enabled, visibility and locked state plus their ID, label and color<br />
* Allow to toggle the visibility and locked state of guides<br />
* Rearrange remaining fields for a more compact layout<br />
* Open the dialog when a guide line is double-clicked or right-clicked and an edit option selected and select it in the list; once the dialog is open, a single click on the guide line selects it in the list<br />
* Allow to select multiple grids or guides to change the options ''Visible'', ''Show dots instead of lines'' and the color for all of them at once<br />
* Removed ''Relative change'' checkbox, because the fields allow to calculate the values (they should instead get a tooltip and/or a visual indicator that you can do calculations in them)<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Other tabs ===<br />
<br />
* Move options of ''Snap'' tab into the 'Snapping' section of the global ''Preferences'' dialog<br />
* Move options of ''Scripting'' tab into a separate new dialog<br />

<div><br />
= SVG 2 Planning =<br />
<br />
SVG 2 will offer many things to Inkscape:<br />
<br />
* Mesh Gradients<br />
* Hatch Fills<br />
* Arbitrary stroke/fill/marker order<br />
* Arcs line join<br />
* Auto-flowed text<br />
* New blending and compositing modes.<br />
* Use of blending and compositing outside of filters.<br />
* Marker inheriting stroke color, etc.<br />
* Etc.<br />
<br />
It is important that Inkscape implements these features in a timely fashion. Not only will it be a benefit to our users... but it is a necessary step to insuring that these features remain in SVG 2. The W3C specification process requires at least two independent implementations of feature before final publication. Having Inkscape support these features not only will provide one of the implementations but it demonstrates to others that there is serious interest in these features.<br />
<br />
We do need to be careful, though, to avoid the '''Flowed Text''' of SVG 1.2 debacle. Until the SVG 2 specification (or relevant CSS specification) is in the final stages of adoption, each new feature must be developed in the 'inkscape' name space; that is to say, the '-inkscape-' prefix must be used for new elements, attributes, and properties. It is also important that, until SVG 2 is widely supported, we support export to SVG 1.1 or clearly mark that a feature is supported only by SVG 2.<br />
<br />
Many SVG 2 features can be supported internally as SVG 2. For example, Inkscape currently uses 1-stop gradients for color palettes. On reading in, a one-stop gradient can be converted to a <solidColor> element. On writing out, if SVG 1.1 output is selected, the <solidColor> element can be converted back to a 1-stop gradient. An SVG 2 <hatch> element can be converted to a <pattern> large enough to cover the fill area. SVG 2 flowed text provides a natuaral fallback for SVG 1.1 renderers. A tab in the Preferences dialog could handle fine grain control of which SVG 2 features should be converted.<br />
<br />
Note, no browser seems to handles the <switch> element correctly so we should not rely on this feature.<br />
<br />
== Implementation ==<br />
<br />
* Framework<br />
<br />
# On read-in, convert SVG 1.1 to SVG 2<br />
## 1-stop gradients -> <solidColor><br />
## Flowed text -> CSS wrapped text<br />
## Etc.<br />
# Edit as SVG 2<br />
# On writing-out, convert SVG 2, if requested to SVG 1.1 (controlled by preferences)<br />
## <solidColor> -> 1-stop gradient<br />
## HSL color -> RGB color<br />
## Hatch -> Pattern (keeping hatch editing data)<br />
## Mesh -> Bitmap (keeping mesh editing data)<br />
## CSS Blend -> Filter blend<br />
## CSS Wrapped text -> SVG 1.1 text (via auto-fallback mechanism)<br />
## Paint order -> <use><br />
## Etc.<br />
<br />
* Status<br />
** HSL Color. Requires some parsing work. Specification stable. Supported by browsers. <br />
** <solidColor>. Specification stable (from SVG 1.2 Tiny). Supported by Opera (Presto).<br />
** Hatches. Specification stable. No browser support.<br />
** Mesh gradients: Specification fairly stable (possible work on smoothing). Basic code in Inkscape. Needs work on GUI and PNG fallback. No browser support.<br />
** CSS Blend modes: Specification fairly stable. Code in Inkscape. Needs GUI and filter-base fallback. Firefox/Chrome have some support.<br />
** CSS Text-Wrap: Need to convert from SVG 1.2 flowed text. Specification influx. Firefox supports wrapping via 'white-space'.<br />
** Paint order. In specification, should be stable. No browser support.<br />
<br />

<div>== Summary ==<br />
<br />
This blueprint covers an overhaul of the Document Properties dialog UI. The goal is to tighten the UI up by reorganizing it, moving features to other dialogs and adding new ones.<br />
<br />
Another goal is to prepare it for the use to create new documents as described in [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1362061 bug 1362061].<br />
<br />
== Key points of the new UI ==<br />
<br />
* Tightened up<br />
* Ability to accept and cancel all changes to the properties<br />
* Preview of current format<br />
* Ability to choose from the different templates<br />
* Current settings can be saved as new template<br />
<br />
== Design proposal ==<br />
<br />
=== ''Page'' tab ===<br />
<br />
* Merge ''Default units'' and ''Units'' fields (i.e. remove one of them)<br />
* Remove option to specify border color<br />
* Move display options to global ''Preferences'' dialog<br />
* Turn ''Page Size'' list into drop-down list<br />
* Add ''Templates'' drop-down list allowing to select from predefined templates setting all document properties at once<br />
* Add ''Save As Template...'' button allowing to save the current document properties as a template for other documents<br />
* Add preview of chosen page format<br />
* Add buttons to accept and cancel the changes (i.e. only apply the changes after accepting them and allowing to revert them)<br />
* Change ''Format'' field to ''Custom'' if width or height is changed to an unknown format<br />
* Reorganize remaining fields<br />
