Hopefully you'll enjoy it!
## How to use audio record and playback feature:
- Install `vlc` and make sure `curl` and `arecord` are present on your system
- Under `vlc` settings:
- - enable `http interface` (see [this](https://github.com/azrafe7/vlc4youtube/blob/master/instructions/how-to-enable-vlc-web-interface.md) ) with blank username and password "password"
- - tick `Allow only one instance` under `Interface -> Instance`
- set the folder where do you want to store audio recordings under settings -> `audio recording`
You're ready to go!
Just press the red button to start/stop recording and use the `Play Object` tool to click on a stroke and listen to the corresponding audio.
If you need to, you can edit the recording audio gain in the script under `/usr/local/bin/xopp-recording.sh` (an option for this will be availabe through xournalpp's settings in the future)

## Building
[Linux Build](readme/LinuxBuild.md)
[Mac Build](readme/MacBuild.md)
[Windows Build](readme/WindowsBuild.md)
## Fileformat
The fileformat *.xopp is an XML which is .gz compressed. PDFs are not embedded
into the file, so if the PDF is deleted, the background is lost.
*.xopp is basically the same fileformat as *.xoj, which is used by Xournal.
Therefor Xournal++ reads *.xoj files, and can also export *.xoj.
On exporting to *.xoj all Xournal++ specific Extension are lost, like addtional
Background types.
*.xopp can theretically be read by Xournal, as long as you do not use any new
feature, Xournal does not open files at all if there are new attributes or
unknown values, because of this Xournal++ will add the extension .xopp to all
saved files.
All new files will be saved as *.xopp, if an *.xoj file is opened which was
created by Xournal, the Save-As dialog will be displayed on save. If the *.xoj
file was by Xournal++ created, Xournal++ overwrite the file on save, and does
not change the extension.
## Development
For developping new features, write a Ticket, so others know what you are doing.
For development create a fork, and use the master as base. Create a Pull request for each fix.
Do not create big pull requests, as long as you don't break anything features also can be
merged, even if they are not 100% finished.
See [GitHub:xournalpp](http://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp) for current development. You can also join
our Gitter channel via badge on top.
