We have prepared second preview build of PrintDesign for win32 platform (rev.824). It's a portable version. Just download, unpack and run printdesign.exe Here is a startup screenshot of PrintDesign: As before we have added some samples ... [More] to zip package (as PDXF and CDR files) to allow you quickly testing application. Please note, this is development snapshot but not working version! [Less]

We have implemented Scrolled Tab Panel for PrintDesign. Now the application can open an unlimited number of documents.

Since last post two weeks have gone. We have done a lot of work these days. The most notable features are Context Panel and context menu. It was a highly intensive milestone. We have committed more than 270 code changes! Of course, all the changes there are in version for MacOS X:

We have refactored About Dialog to provide components monitoring. Also we added "Thanks To" tab noticing all the people who have been involved in the project development. Another important improvement is an optimized ... [More] rendering for all platforms. Each supported platform has specific windowing system features. To provide consistent rendering we have done a serious testing and code optimization for each platform. As a result we have really fast rendering for all PrintDesign platform specific versions.

To complete preview task we have created PrintDesign .dmg image for MacOS X 10.8 platform. Please note, this is development snapshot but not working version! Also we have added some samples to zip package (as PDXF and CDR files) to allow you quickly testing application: samples.zip

A lot of users asks for Linux package of PrintDesign. So we published deb-packages PrintDesign and UniConvertor 2.0 for Ubuntu 13.04 Here are download links: python-printdesign-1.0-rev497_all.deb ... [More] python-uniconvertor-2.0-rev338_0ubuntu1_13.04_amd64.deb Please remember, that PrintDesign depends on UniConvertor 2.0 so you need installing both packages. Also we have added some samples to zip package (as PDXF and CDR files) to allow you quickly testing application: samples.zip [Less]

Preparing preview package for Windows we tested PrintDesign on Windows 7. Preview announce will be ~1 hour later.

Statusbar is completed! Some code was transferred from Gtk+ branch, some was written from scratch... (on screenshot PrintDesign for Linux, Ubuntu 13.04 64bit)

For those who are following the development, updating the code: we have transferred a lot of internal stuff from Gtk+ branch, including full featured Cairo renderer. Also we have implemented precise rulers. We will post screenshots later. Curiously ... [More] , wx-version renders document faster than gtk-version. It seems this is due to the fact that wxWidgets have more advanced UI update mechanism than pure Gtk+. [Less]
