Hello, Bruno,
If you are looking at something cool to do inside libvisio, I might
have an idea or two :)
For the while, libvisio is converting binary MS Visio files in
versions 6 (Visio 2000 and 2002) and 11 (Visio 2003 -> 2010). There
is another format that Visio can export to, and it is the XML version
called also VDX. This file-format is specified (contrary to the
binary one). If you could come with an abstract SAX interface and
implement a parser of this file-format, it would fill some gap we
have. But any bugfix is welcome.
Hi Fridrich,
Yes, I had a look at the VDX spec last year and it is indeed well
documented and reasonably straight-forward, although there are
difference between the 2003, 2007 and 2010 versions as far as I
remember. I assume that all classes prefixed VSDX were designed to
support both VSD and VDX and therefore should be shared between both
types of parser?
I'd be very interested in working on that but in order not to
over-commit myself and to get familiar with the code, I'll probably
start with some tests and simple bug reports / patches.
I've been doing some tests with sample Visio files and I've now added a
grand total of 7 bug reports [1]. I would like to start tackling some of
them but as I'm not familiar with the code base, I would welcome
suggestions as to which ones are likely to be reasonably easy hacks.
