weekly status update 11 (July 16 - 23)

[Aung Khant Oo Gu Gu]

HI,

This is my gsoc weekly status update for improving user experience around
windows. Sorry for the late update this week as I had to go out a lot this
week.

I am currently trying to store individual window states inside each
document. Since saved rdf graphs and statements are lost upon closing
the document, I tried to look around the XStorage interface and
implementations. They doesn't seem to be the solution since the document
only inherits the XStorable interface and storing data for each document in
the disk storage requires a cleaning mechanism for unavailable documents.

In another approach which uses the DocumentProperties service, I couldn't
add a new attribute and get/set methods for the new attribute since the
compiler is saying we can't add new attributes to a published interface.
However, as a test, saving the window state in the existing method set/get
Author, was successful and it correctly remembers the window state for each
document upon closing/reopening. However, it still requires saving the
document again  for the attribute to get persistently saved which is
undesired behaviour. In the next week, I will have to try to save the
window state without requiring the document to save. Maybe also a new class
if changes are not permitted in the published interface.

Best Regards,

Aung
