    5959  3. Removing the iconified book from the desktop - ie, handing iconification better 
    6060 
    61   After several days of looking at this problem, and trying out milo's "last resort" idea of hiding the window, I have come up with the following design concept (I cannot give exact specifics, or the implementation would be complete <g>) 
    62  
    63     3.1 - Add a method named show() to DefaultDocumentWindow that shows the document window and makes sure it is not iconified.  I'd put a UML document here but I am not sure if I need to do a full UML for the class or only my changes.  I could not get into the server to look at examples. 
     61    3.1 - Add a method named show() to DefaultDocumentWindow that shows the document window and makes sure it is not iconified. 
    6462 
    6563    3.2 - When the swing frame is iconified in DefaultDocumentWindow, make sure Sophie knows it is deselected by calling userActs. This is important as the desktop panes only use swing calls to iconify/deiconify the window.  Also, set the window's visible to false so it does not show on the desktop. 
    … …  
    6967    3.4 - In BookLogic, when a book is selected, make sure it's window is told to show().  This ensures that anything in Sophie that selects a book (ie a click, or a menu item) makes sure that the window for the newly selected book is deiconified and showing. 
    7068         
    71     3.5 - Consider adding select to show() as well, so newly selected books also have selected windows 
    72  
    73     3.6 Comments -  The iconification is handled by the current look and feel, triggered by the look and feel minimize button (or in the case of the tab bar, the show desktop button, which walks all frames (windows) and calls setIcon(true).  Simply hiding or showing the frame is not acceptable as it does not maintain a separate state of the window.  Currently the plan is to figure out how to change  the look and feel's iconify behavior.  WindowListener iconify events are only called *after* the window is iconified and are intended to be used as a way for the document to release resources, etc and thus not useful for this problem.

    7569  4. Center the page on the current page work area 
    7670         
    77     4.1 Not done yet 
    78  
    79     4.2 Comments - After discussions with Bo Yan, we decided to, as a first pass, simply center the PageWorkArea in the window, as the PageWorkArea grows to encompass the page and all frames.  However, this won't work because the PageWorkArea has a later for the page and its frames, and other layers for halos and such.  So, we can offset all layers, or think of a better approach.  One such approach is to consider making modifying the PageWorkArea sizing logic to expand to its parent, if the parent is larger of course. 
    80  
     71    4.1 This will not be implemented 
    8172 
    8273  5.    Change the page work area to consider the size of the book window as well as the page 
    … …  
    8677    5.2 - Change the PageWorkArea logic to not only resize itself to the page size, but also it's parent window.  See 5.1 
    8778         
    88  6. I doubt I will have time to do this task requirement 
     79 6. This will not be implemented 
    8980 
    90  7. Make sure that the logic to determine the book window is bounded by the book bottom panel.  In other words, when asked what the minimal book window size can be, the logic will not return a window narrower than the book panel.  This logic will be used by the PageWorkArea when considering how to size itself.  This should be done as a part of task requirement 5.

    9283= Implementation = 
    … …  
    10596 * The default position of the page should be at the center of the book window. -Isn't it already at the center of the book window?  It doesn't re-center as you resize the window, but I think it is centered by default at least on my system. 
    10697 * I need to know if you want the page work area to expand to the size of the window, and then have the page stay centered on the page work area?  That would mean a large change to how things work now, which is ok, I just need to know that this is what you want.
