Hi,
Sebastian, one thing i personally like about
Calligra Sheets(Tables) is its "IMPORT" feature. eg. you have
10 tables in a document, Calligra Sheets extracts and opens it
in 10 different sheets. This is awesome. But supposing you have
to make minor changes in 3-4 tables, you would not like to
export it or create new files. Rather than exporting it, we
could just let the changes be reflected back to the original
file itself. I guess extending the functionalities of SHAPE to
create streams and wait for streams to save back the data would
also be a nice method as Friedrich suggested.
As far as Calligra Words is concerned, i guess extending the
functionalities of FLAKE/SHAPE would be better option as of now.
My idea of opening tables in Calligra words using Calligra
Sheets was basically to allow user to implement all the
functions of Calligra Sheets using Calligra Words. But this is
only possible if Calligra Sheets allows the changes to be
reflected back directly.As Friedrich suggested, having ruler
plugins for SHAPE would be best.
Moreover the above ideas of just extending the FLAKE/SHAPE to
implement the desired features in Calligra Sheets and Calligra
Tables would not disturb the concept of FLAKE/SHAPE.
This was just a very rough idea of what i would like Calligra
Sheets and Calligra Words to have and not my actual GSOC
Proposal.
