It is a sorely needed feature to really replace paid tools. This is a frequently requested feature in Xournal++, and the developer's main argument against implementing this feature centers around incompatibility with Xournal.

For example, in Fedora, the gtk2-devel package containing the header files for compiling GTK2 applications requires as dependencies all the other packages needed to compile GTK2 applications, including pkgconfig. Same in Ubuntu. My impression is that most major distributions do this, making it much easier to develop software on a system that was initially set up purely as a desktop, so the problem you encountered...Denis AurouxMon, 24 Apr 2023 05:52:43 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/5/?limit=25#3370/ceddhttps://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/5/?limit=25#3370Hi Denis, Thanks for getting back to me. I have a few responses, with the last one first. Most people won't develop Xournal, so they will never run into this problem. Of the people who run some linux distribution and do, everyone will run into it, whose distribution does not come with pkgconfig or the correct replacement; ie everyone who's running a distribution which was initially intended for desktop users, and they are now able, at least in principle, to expand it into a software development platform....James C.Sun, 23 Apr 2023 22:28:09 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/5/?limit=25#3370https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/5/?limit=25#9885/d9e3This does make some sense, but given that autogen.sh already aborts anyway because things can't complete further, the only benefit is a slightly clearer error message.

(Ideally we'd have better-looking and more appropriately sized cursors altogether, but the GTK2 function we use for handling cursors is rather limited, and I don't have the energy to devote to this...)

On my platform, the largest cursor is 256x256, so in principle, there could be a variety of text cursors, depending on the text size and magnification, including something to indicate text larger than the largest cursor. I think that, to make this sensible, they would have to be procedurally generated....James C.Thu, 20 Apr 2023 11:05:22 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/205/?limit=25#a53ahttps://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/patches/93/Another implicit function declaration/header inclusion fixDenis AurouxTue, 06 Dec 2022 20:23:18 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/patches/93/https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/patches/93/?limit=25#700cExtremely strange.

For the record, Xournal doesn't need to know how to open links; it just needs to have a configuration option that is "command to open urls". Under MacOS this would probably be "open", under Linux this would probably be "xdg-open" (to use your default browser) or something like "firefox" or "google-chrome" (to use a specific browser).Lars Kellogg-StedmanThu, 07 Apr 2022 18:17:12 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/feature-requests/127/?limit=25#0171https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/81/?limit=25#baa9Due to xournal's Linux origins and the much better support for Wacom and Wacom-compatible tablets on Linux, and on the compatibility layers used by the Windows port, I expect that independently of the intrinsic qualities of your tablet, a Wacom or driver-compatible model is likely to work better in Xournal.

Using the new input system in preferences, the cursor is too tiny. Now, to get the arrow instead, if I'm not mistaken, there wouldn't be the need to recompile since by ticking the option off, the cursor reverts to the standard arrow. Personally, I prefer the new input system because the screen is more stable and better for eyesight but with a bigger point. Also, I personally prefer the darkness of the writing in version 1.0.19 compared to light gray in version 1.0.20.

No improvement in xounal but xournalpp on its turn stopped working (no input possible). I then removed XQuartz, xournalpp back to normal, xournal still lagging. I tried to install xournal via macports but x11 conflicts prevented it start. I did not have time to inquire that any further. I suppose your intuition is correct.

One question might be whether other GTK2 applications have the same problem (the main one these days is GIMP if you get the stable versions 2.10.x) are similarly affected. (Xournalpp uses GTK3 which can talk to macOS via different means). One possibility is that it's not even a library but rather an X server / X11 compatibility layer issue....Denis AurouxThu, 14 Jan 2021 15:54:36 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/220/?limit=25#bfca/912fhttps://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/220/?limit=25#bfcaHi Denis, thanks for your swift reply, I really apprecite it :) ! I believe the problem emerged after a library upgrade. I use homebrew to install open source (it works like apt-get in debian/ubuntu linux). In the past I never had the need to pass CFLAGS to the compiler to install, standard instructions worked. I say I believe because recently I had to reinstall macosx from scratch. Before reinstallation xournal worked without issues. The lag is about half a second.

If you previously had an older version working fine on a mac with the same tablet -- is this a new problem with the latest version of macOS / libraries / ... ? How much lag is there?

So the fix is to not have any fully transparent pixels. The following snippet replaces all fully transparent pixels by white almost fully transparent pixels: convert signature.png -channel all -fx 'a==0 ? rgba(255,255,255,0.00001) : u' signature_for_xournal.png The resulting PNG file can be embedded into PDF...Ralf Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:48:51 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/215/?limit=25#e0a1https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/bugs/215/?limit=25#9e54pdfimages extracts an image where the transparent pixels are black.
