[Quexf-discuss] Configuration of page setup suggestion

[David B. <da...@bu...>]

Hello Adam,

I was playing around with the new "test form compatibility with queXF". I
see there are some config settings such as PAGE_GUIDE_X_PORTION that will
change the boxes where it looks for guide lines. This can sometimes be
required to change for a form to be compatible. I think one
can safely assume if the original pdf form requires this, all scanned forms
would use the same settings.

Currently in page setup the guide line box defaults to where it goes
without consideration to PAGE_GUIDE_X_PORTION. I think page setup should
consider these values. In many cases this would make page setup unnecessary
(which means less work for administrators). Thoughts?

I was debugging the code a little. I believe in
functions/functions.import.php defaultpage the x_portion is taken into
consideration. However in page setup it just get's whatever value happens
to be in the database. This value however is never explicitly set. It comes
from a default sql value as seen in database/quexf.sql

I suppose a fix would have to calculate the default values in new.php and
explicitly set them in the database.

Best,

David
