RE: [xep-support] Requests for version 4.17

Andy:

1) I'm not sure which version you are talking about XEP or XEPWin. But
either have installers that run just by double clicking them. You must mean
post-install configuration or something. Please expand (or email me directly
at kevin@renderx.com)

2) XEP (Java) includes XEP Assistant which can be used to directly edit the
fonts configuration through a GUI. We can add such things to XEPWin either
in the assistant or an separate application maybe.

Subject: [xep-support] Requests for version 4.17

(Starting a new thread with appropriate title)

I have two requests:

1. An installer that is quick and easy to use. Currently, one needs someone
who is computer-savvy in order to install XEP. It really bothers me that
when I want to tell someone about the abilities of XEP I always have to
provide a caveat that it is really hard to install (something like 22 steps
on a Windows system).

2. Related to this would be an ability to easily add fonts to XEP's
configuration file (just navigate to where the font files are located, say,
and select the ones you want). Now one has to write XML or figure out how
to use the Fonts section of the Edit Options in XEP Assistant (something I
have yet to succeed in doing).

Thanks!

Yes we have had a few requests for two-up continuous. It is on our product
marketing requirements list for a future release. XEP 4.16 will be released
shortly and after that we will begin the process of deciding which
functionality makes it into 4.17.

I would welcome an open discussion on this forum if you like ... kind of a
virtual product management meeting. We weigh the time to develop along with
the demand and marketplace

Other items that have been offered in no particular order include:

PDF Annotations
Extended "graphic" support in PDF to include multimedia types (of course
only valid for PDF Formats):
                Flash
                MPEG
                Other video
SVG enhancements
                svg:feOffset
                svg:feBlend
                svg:TextPath
Table markers
XPS Output
XPS Input as a image (actually this is already done at customers as they do
XPS->XEPOUT and that is supported as an image)
PPML Output
XForms Output
Native support for charts or incorporation of a Chart Server component
Support for Indic languages

Of course, this is not a list of all things in 4.17, this is a list of
candidate functionality. Certainly major features like table markers or a
new backend one would find one, maybe two in a release that takes place
every 4 to 5 months.

The disscussion is open to all. Please chime in with your own desired
features, All these requirements are managed on an internal Wiki and I am
the gatekeeper.
