[Bug 630404] Re: A q&d way to export to a pocketmod

 

Hello there.
I've added pocketmod to the export plugin.
it should solve all the problems listed above. The only "issue" is that the maximum length of a pocketmod is 8 pages (shorter tasks sets are automatically padded). If someone reports it, I'll fix it :)
 Have a try and tell me what you think.
Download from here:https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~gtg-user/gtg/plugin-api-refactoring/ and be sure to run the debug version (just in case, this doesn't touch your saved tasks - it uses a fake task set instead).

bzr branch lp:~gtg-user/gtg/plugin-api-refactoring/
cd plugin-api-refactoring
./scripts/debug.sh

Bug description:
I really grew fond of the pocketmod printout of Thinking Rock and won't switch to gtg until it has a similar feature. So I hacked a quick and dirty way to create one for gtg 0.2.4

You need:
- export plugin
- pdflatex
- pdfjam
- pdftk
- files attached to this report

1. activate export plugin and place template_pocketmod.tex in /usr/share/gtg/GTG/plugins/export/export_templates/
2. export to a tex-file using the new export option
3. run pdflatex on your exported file
4. run pocketmod input.pdf output.pdf
5. print output.pdf

Restrictions:
- since I do have a lot of tasks I only print the tasknames, but not the task texts.
- you need to have enough tasks to create 8 or more pdf pages in step 3.
- it's designed for A4 format

This was written and tested on an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04.

My hope is to get the discussion going for a proper export feature.
