#10 Windows file compatability

[Crystal]

I'm completely new to Linux, and my huge cross-stitch library is in .xsd format (Pattern Maker for Cross Stitch by Hobbyware). I really would like to be able to use/view these files on my new Linux laptop. Any chance of getting KXStitch to read this format? I will be happy to provide examples, testing, and if necessary funding for this addition.

Thanks!

I can look into this in the future. At the moment I am working on the KDE 4 version of KXStitch which is taking up all my time. Adding this would be an enhancement that I can address when the core functionality of KXStitch is available.

Now that the KDE4 version is near to a release date, I can start looking at this. Are you still able to supply examples of the libraries? Are you able to create your own libraries? I would probable need to have one created that contained some known arrangements of stitches, backstitches, etc, so that I know what I am trying to import.

No example files were ever provided so work can't progress

Hi! Is there any possibility to reanimate this project? I haven't yet switched completely to Linux only because of my cross-stitch library in .xsd format...

[Stephen Allewell]

This project is still active but is now part of KDE. See http://www.kde.org/applications/graphics/kxstitch/

I can investigate incorporating xsd format files, but I would need a number of examples to be able to reverse engineer the format.

If you can supply that information then I can proceed.

Sure! I would be happy to provide you as much examples, as you need :)

How do I pass you the files? Is that email adress from http://www.kde.org/applications/graphics/kxstitch/ actual?

Thanks luliia, the author email address is valid and you can send them there. Can you provide the following:
An empty pattern with a size of 40 wide x 30 high, no colors in the palette.
The empty pattern with a size of 80 wide x 60 high with 5 colors added using DMC with a text list of which colors are added.
The pattern with all stitch types added in various colors in small blocks (leave some white space between each color and stitch type), I will also need an image/PDF of the final pattern so that I can determine what it should look like.
A new pattern with some Anchor colors added and some backstitching in different colors, again an image/PDF of the final pattern.

This should be enough to get me started. Then I can ask for other examples as needed.

Examples sent! XD
