Help me with my word editor for amiga
« on: December 16, 2002, 09:09:32 PM »
It has come to my attention that it has been quite a dull month with nothing really new to discuss (same old morphos vs. amigaos discussions) So for people who are bored at the moment I would really like some help:
Im currently trying to build a word editor for the amiga. Right now its on an early stage, but eventually there will be support for outline fonts, kerning, somewhat advanced picture support. The main designer goal is to make it so open that support for spellchecking, loading and saving in different formats and all the other nice things you would expect from an editor, can be implemented easy afterwards.
This is what I need help with:

1. Which functions would YOU like
2. Im a total twat with GUI and graphics. Could anyone give a suggestion for a nice friendly GUI. (Screenshots very much appriciated)

Bear in mind that the development is in its very early stages and that I dont have anything to show right now

If I am to suggest anything, it would be that you pay special attention to text flow around pictures, and picture layout.

That have been one of my big concerns. I will try to make it so the pic can be anchored as a character or to a paragraph

Thanks so far

@Mason Thanks for the collection, it looks great. Nevertheless if anyone has other ideas or perhaps if anyone have a good idea how put the icons together...

@Gnarly Yeah I know... Cant start running before I learned how to crawl... But then again, having peoples suggestion how the GUI should look could give guide lines for which kind of functuability people are expecting... And it could be fun to see what people could put together

@Rassilon
1) I agree but I will probably try to make it configurable

2) Planned but not until a later stage

4) Ohhh im not to keen about mixing those two

5) Shouldnt be a prob  :-)

Thanks so far
