Nice ideas:
— IFF DTXT Import/Export drivers for PageStream
(Yes, I know I can use Hotlinks. I just don't always want to)
— IFF DTXT display filter for shell (like "type", but interprets
the DTXT format)
— Hotlink DR2D graphics
Better yet: — Hotlink ArtExpression PostScript graphics
— Open more than one drawing in ArtExpression
— DR2D (or AE or Illustrator PostScript) export driver for PageStream
(select objects and export as a drawing)
— Extend DR2D standard to allow percentage fills, and to keep PageStream
and ArtExpression color names.
— Utility to add word lists (or old PageStream dictionaries) to the
new PageLiner dictionary format.
— TypeSmith: Another "Print Preview" that prints all characters in the
font on one sheet. Support PostScript printers directly, not through
Preferences. Add hint editing.
— PageStream and Hotlinks: some way to break all links to a file before
retrieving it. Or save with links broken. (To make a quick archival copy
of something that keeps changing).
Thanks for the suggestions. PgS 3.0 will have an IFF DTXT import/export filter
and will be able to publish and subscribe structured drawings. (You'll have to
wait for the next update to AE to do much with this.)
All import modules will become import/export filters.
PgS 3.0 will share the PageLiner dictionary files.
All the other features you mentioned are on the list.
