Re: Ink.app questions

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Rob,

currently the Ink application is only able to load either RTF or simple
text files and to store them again in the same format. It would not be
hard to allow all files to be loaded as rich text. The reason I did not
do this was to be able to test the behaviour of simple text with the
same application. 
I think the easiest way to keep this ability and still to provide the
added functionality would be to add a menu entry that would allow to
switch between simple and rich text, which would just call the method
[NSTextView setRichText:]. This would also have to set the [NSDocument
setFileType:], as this whole area of NSDocument is implemented only
halfway it wont be possible to do all this just from the Save panel by
selecting a file type. But I may be wrong on this, it is a long time now
since I look into this code.

Any improvements on Ink.app are welcome, as long as they don't break the
old functionalities, so go ahead and add what ever you want.

Cheers Fred
