1998-09-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/file.c (workbook_save_as, workbook_save,
	dialog_query_load_file): New file, new routines to deal with file
	save and file load dialog boxes.

	* src/workbook.c: Improved our toolbar with new actions.

	* src/xml-io.c: Fixed the order in which parameters were passed to
	sheet_cell_get/sheet_cell_new

Last night hacking:

	- Bound toolbar alignment buttons.
	- Redraw logic fixed (although multi-span single-repaint
	  is still broken).
	- Small other fixes.

	* Updated POTFILES.in
	* Regerenated gnumeric.pot & updated fr.po accordingly

1998-09-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/dialog-cell-format.c (create_align_page): Added support for
	the "add returns automatically" formatting option.

	* src/cell.c (cell_draw): Finished implementing my new drawing
	scheme.  It now supports all of the Excel 5.0 alignements.

	Added missing calls to cell_calc_dimensions in various spots.

	* src/workbook.c: Added a toolbar with some actions.

Tristan

Implemented the new strategy for computing the region that should
be redrawn for a given cell.

Now we got a little line feedback on what the column/row size will be
when you release the button.  Extra cool feature.

Miguel.

Basically: got font changing working.

Miguel.

Redid the format parsing engine to be closer to the Excel formatting
engine.  This basically is just a better front end to Clahey's number
rendering engine.

This now supports quoted strings in a format;  quoted characters;
spacing control formats;  color specification;  plus some ammount
of pre-parsing.

Getting it Excel compliant will be a bit more difficult than we
expected, as for example this format shows:

	000-0000-0000

should render 12345670987 as: 123-4567-0987

Today:

   Gnumeric had a big design problem:  It did not support
   multiple vies of the same sheet, this has been now fixes.

   Huge changes to adapt to the new SheetView object that is
   a per-view object.

   Some things might be a little broken due to these changes.

Today:

	- Finally implemented the selection correctly using the
	  cool techniques Raster and Owen described to me on my
	  visit to cool RHAD-land.

	  This basically means Gnumeric does not look sharewareish
	  when you select a range of cells.

	- Zoom dialog box (copy from Excel)

	- Various other sheet-editing facilities are now in place.

	- Scrol-bar fixes and feature additions.

Next:

	I really need to do the file load/save code.
	I really need some sane font code.

15,011

Today:

	- Column delete and Row delete work.  Bindings all over the
	  place are working (context menus, menus, etc).

	- Made scrollbars usable and include a tooltip-like thing
	  like Excel does.

	  They still are kind of inacurrate, and I just figured
	  out a terrible design mistake that will be fixed tomorrow
	  (it is kind of big).

	- Various bug fixes to little things I had overlooked in
	  cell insert/shift routines.

Miguel.

Lots of changes during the weekend:

	- New style management code:  All styles are now managed by
	  regions on a sheet (the default region, is attached to the
	  complete sheet).

	- Styles can now be partial: Only some parts of the style
	  might be valid (this is very important).

	- Insert column/Insert row/Shift rows has been fixed and
	  it now computes properly the dependencies on any
	  data change.

	- Linking/unlinking formulas now takes care also of
	  adding/removing the dependencies of the cell.

Miguel.

Ok, fixed cell movement

Today:

	- Row insertion works.

	- Dialog box for adding various things (equivalent to
	  excel's Insert/Cells dialog box, any similarities
	  with Excel are accidental).

	- Plus the usual exciting features you would expect.

Miguel

1998-08-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/dialog-insert-cells.c: New file.  Handle the insert cells
	dialog box.  This uses GtkCauldron for the first time.  That
	routine is soooo cool!

	* src/sheet.c (sheet_cell_remove): Remove the memory used by the
	key in the hashtable as well.
	(sheet_insert_col): new routine used to insert columns in the
	spreadsheet, it is pretty elaborate.
	(sheet_col_destroy, sheet_row_destroy): New routine used by the
	column-overflow logic in the insertion routines.
	(sheet_cell_add): Only attach a style to a cell if it does not
	have any yet.
	(sheet_move_row): New routine: shifts a row a number of columns.
	(sheet_verify_selection_simple): New routine for warnging about
	the multiple-selections case.  In the future it should provide a
	help context.
	(sheet_insert_row): Implement this new routine.

	* src/clipboard.c (paste_cell): Simplify.

	* src/cell.c (cell_make_value, cell_formula_relocate): New routines
	based on the code that was done for the clipboard.  Now they are
	used in other places as well.  cell_make_value actually fixes a
	potential bug that caused formulas to reappear magically on
	paste-values commands (never hit the bug, but it was there, I
	swear to god).

Last night hacking got us:

	- Column insertion.
	- COlumn shifting (insert and delete).

Next step: row insertion.

Miguel.

Format fixes

Paste works just like Excel now.  Dragging a selection
moves the cursor and the selection properly.

Move the paste-special dialog box to its own file.

Other misc fixes.

Miguel.

Change of strategy:

	- We dont do "smart" autoformat of numbers and strings.
	  That is what the "general" format is for.

MigueL

New value format framework installed.

The idea is that we will precompile formats to avoid parsing the
format everytime a cell is repainted.

Miguel.

1998-08-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/format.c (format_value): The new entry point for formating
	values.  This takes a Value instead of a float.
	NULL is never returned from format_value now: if there is a format
	error, then value_string is used to display it.

	(format_compile): This routine should always return, it cant fail,
	in the worst * case it should just downgrade to simplistic formatting.

	(format_destroy): This routine is invoked when the last user of
	the format is gone (ie, refcount has reached zero) just before the
	StyleFormat structure is actually released.  resources allocated
	in format_compile should be disposed here

Basically:

	- auto-alignment on cells without style works.

	- Clean ups (use the new cell_ routines).

	- Couple of bug fixes.

	- Figured that aligment code works better if you
	  actually call the routine on the cell.

Miguel

1998-08-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/sheet.c (sheet_cursor_set): New function.  Use this instead
	of the view-specific routine (gnumeric_cursor_set).

	* src/gnumeric-sheet.c (gnumeric_sheet_can_move_cursor): ':' is a
	valid separator for activating the cursor-cell selection mode.

	* src/cell.c (cell_auto_align): New function.  This tries to
	auto-align the cell contents depending on the value type.

	* src/dialog-cell-format.c (cell_properties_apply): Create a
	single style that is attached to a region and let each property
	page fill the structure in.
	(apply_align_format): Implement.  No wonder it was not working
	last night.
	(apply_number_formats): Fill the passed Style structure only.
	Remove obsolete code.

	* src/sheet.c (sheet_cell_new): New cells are born with auto-style
	flag turned on.

	* src/clipboard.c (paste_cell): Render the cell after computation
	is finished.  Clean up the usage of the cell manipulation;  make
	auto-style work on pasted cells.

	* src/str.c (string_ref): Return the value referenced.

Drag and Drop editing actions work now:

	- Copy cells by contorl-dragging the border of a selection
	- Move cells by dragging border of a selection
	- Do other operations by right-button-dragging the selection border

Miguel

Alignment dialog box (does not work though, wonder why).

Various fixes to the cursor handling;

Stippled cursors for autofill and drag;

check in before going home.

Miguel.

1998-08-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

	* src/gnumeric-sheet.c (gnumeric_sheet_compute_visible_ranges):
	Make the selected column and row be always fully visible (ie, use
	the ->last_full_[col|row] instead of last_visible_[col|row].

	* src/cell.c (cell_set_format): Call cell_queue_redraw after
	changing the cell contents.
