Export bitmap, gradient editor and input devices dialogs cannot be docked

[Elv13]

Export bitmap, gradient editor and input devices dialogs cannot be docked like other dialog. It is frustrating (with export and gradient) because they go under the main windows every time I make little modifications in my SVG.

*Wish: Gradient editor field should be disabled when a shape without gradient is selected and automatically select the right gradient if a shape with gradient is being selected.

Do not know whether this bug should be considered a duplicate of Bug #592323.
At least see Bug #592323 for coordination of the progress on making all dialogs dockable.

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

@Kris i assume this bug is specifically for Export and Gradient docking conversions.
Will report status back into the tracking Bug #592323 as well.

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

Patch to convert Export Bitmap dialog to a dockable dialog.
Its been tested on Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7, but there is possibility of regressions due to the large amount of code refactoring that was needed. Please test if you can.

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

Commited to trunk as r11042.

Cmake building should be fixed now in revision 11044.
I can not test it myself as I do not use cmake.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

@Elv13 - assuming that "Does not work for me" does not refer to the scope of this feature request but to a build failure when trying to use the alternate build system. Please file a new report (the configuration files for cmake haven't been updated for several of the more recent changes in trunk and got out-of-sync AFAICT) Keep in mind that the official build system for Inkscape is still based on autoconf/automake and not cmake (current trunk builds fine with the usual autogen.sh/configure/make/make install toolchain).

If you file a new report, please provide more context and information about your OS/platform and system configuration.

[Kris (kris-degussem)]

@JazzyNico: it is not committed completely (only the export bitmap is dockable now). The gradient editor (and input devices dialog) is not yet dockable. Maybe we should just split this report in several ones?

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

Yes i suggest we remove references to Gradient Editor and Input Devices from this report.

Gradient Editor will need to be rewritten (bug #722017) or disabled (bug #592323 comments from scislac)
Input Devices is already dockable.

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

@Kris thanks for fixing the Cmake file.

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Oops, sorry. Reverting status...

[John Smith (john-smithi)]

I created a new bug specifically for the Gradient Editor (bug #950677).
Input Devices is already dockable.

I think we can change the status to Fix Committed.
