Documents
Status: Implementation in progress
Description
GNOME 3.2 introduced a first version of the Documents application. The version shipped with 3.2 currently lacks some features described in the original Documents designs, which should be implemented for GNOME 3.4.
In particular:
- Collections
- Support for removable devices
- Support for sharing documents
- Support for printing documents
- Portrait mode (remove the sidebar)
In addition to these features, the design of the application has been refined in a number of ways, e.g. the sidebar is no longer there, the search entry has a lot more functionality, and selection is done as a separate mode.
Beyond the Documents application itself, it would be great to have the same documents show up in gnome-shell's search results, and launch gnome-documents from there.
