sebras | kens: good morn... wait, what timezone am I in? :) | 02:05.54 |
onionhammer | hi guys, re mupdf, how would I go about outputting an fz_stream, fz_buffer, or fz_output to a FILE/FD? | 04:52.43 |
namsseng | hi | 05:41.34 |
ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 05:41.34 |
namsseng | help me please | 05:41.57 |
| how do i run mudraw in mac osx? | 05:42.57 |
kens | Morning chrisl | 09:26.39 |
chrisl | Good morning kens | 09:26.57 |
tor8 | onionhammer: fz_stream is only for reading input (based on a FILE*, memory buffer, or another source of data) | 11:24.43 |
| onionhammer: fz_buffer is a wrapper around a char* for containing data, and can grow as necessary | 11:25.12 |
| onionhammer: fz_output is for writing data to a sink, such as a FILE* or memory buffer | 11:25.33 |
| now tell me again what it is you want to do with the stream/buffer/output and the FILE? | 11:26.17 |
onionhammer | tor8 thanks, i what I eventually want to be able to do is convert frmo a PDF to a PNG without using any files, so I'm writing a kind of general purpose method which takes a callback and invokes it for each page of the PDF. I will eventually want to use OpenCV on the page, but for now i just want to output it to a file | 14:00.57 |
| chrisl thanks for you help before, not sure why but the makefile worked fine when I set verbose=yes, but not otherwise | 14:01.51 |
tor8 | onionhammer: you can create a fz_stream to read the PDF file from a fz_buffer, and a fz_output that writes to a fz_buffer | 14:18.04 |
onionhammer | I'll give that a try, thanks | 14:22.32 |
rayjj | Hi, all | 17:25.01 |
chrisl | Hi Ray - home safe? | 17:25.26 |
rayjj | I had a near perfect flight (seat belt sign on only once during the flight for only 30 min) and got in about 30 min early. | 17:25.55 |
chrisl | Nice | 17:26.49 |
rayjj | _AND_ the great news is that my laptop is now working -- i took it apart and unplugged the SSD HD and plugged it back in and I'm up and running | 17:26.53 |
| for those that left earlier, when I picked up my luggage from the bellhop and tried to use my laptop it said "Operating System Not Found" and the BIOS setup displayed gobbledygook for the drive type (it only got the first letter correct "S") | 17:28.19 |
chrisl | Been dropped maybe? | 17:29.00 |
rayjj | my touchpad is not working, but my external mouse lets me work | 17:29.02 |
| no obvious dents (other than the ones I had already installed) | 17:29.38 |
chrisl | Well, I suppose these things just happen sometimes | 17:30.22 |
rayjj | So, my first order of business today is a full backup, then go shopping for a new laptop (I mentioned during the meeting that this one was getting dicey) | 17:30.28 |
Robin_Watts | rayjj: I recommend the Lenovo T450s. | 17:40.22 |
| You can spec it with either Intel or NVidia graphics, and with 1 or 2 slots for M2 SSDs. | 17:44.45 |
chrisl | Might be a bit small for Ray's needs | 17:45.38 |
Robin_Watts | They do a bigger version, I think. T550s presumably. | 17:46.11 |
rayjj | Robin_Watts: thanks, I'll check it out. I mainly want lots of storage, a fast CPU and long battery life. No need for killer graphics card and weight is not too important. I don't want to go smaller than 15.6 range | 17:54.40 |
Robin_Watts | rayjj: Mine gets 12 hours on a battery, plus they are hot swappable. | 17:55.37 |
| The Intel HD 5500 one is not a killer graphics card. | 17:55.59 |
rayjj | what CPU ? | 17:56.17 |
Robin_Watts | I get 1920x1080 in mine (13 inch screen) | 17:56.19 |
| i7. | 17:56.23 |
| With the 15.6 ones, you can get 2880x1620 | 17:56.56 |
| http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t550/ | 17:58.59 |
| The trick is to spend the 20 quid on the 16GB SSD and then put a larger M2 drive. | 17:59.34 |
rayjj | Robin_Watts: right. I plan on installing my 1Tb SSD | 18:26.56 |
| I'd like recommendations on my new laptop. Robin suggested Lenovo, and the Thinkpad W541 looks good, but should I stick with Windows 7 or move up to Windows 10. I'm comfortable with both, but want to know if I should stay with 7 since more customers might have it (I _do_ have an XP desktop to support really old customers) | 22:26.02 |
| FTR, my inclination is to move up to 10 | 22:26.34 |
Robin_Watts | I have 8.1 on mine. I plan to move to 10 at some point soon. Possibly over xmas. | 23:09.48 |
