| t4nk510 | how to use DNOCJK while making .so files in Android | 04:30.31 |
| jcyangzh | Hi, I am trying to render pdf in an android project using mupdf, but lose the colorspace of jpeg2000 image, could you help me, the long description refer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26093305/mupdf-render-jpeg2000-lose-color | 06:00.11 |
| kens | jcyangzh : nobody is going to be able to ehlp you (either here or on Stack Overflow) withgout seeing teh PDF file causing the problem, knowing which version of MuPDF you are using (it sounds like you are trying to use some hybrid, which is not likely to work) and a means to reproduce the problem in current code. | 07:02.31 |
| | If you are trying to use a very old (0.5) version of MuPDF then what you need to do is update to the current version (1.5) not try and pull parts in piecemeal from a newer version. | 07:03.36 |
| | chrisl minor nit-pick on the licence agreement in the installer. After the jpegxr disclaimer it says "GPL Ghostscript is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms the GNU..." THas hould read "...under the terms of the GNU...", the 'of' is missing | 07:48.19 |
| | I'm sure its always been like that, I only noticed this time. | 07:48.34 |
| | Slightly more worrying.... Neither the 32 nor 64 bit versions installed the bin directory! | 07:49.58 |
| chrisl | Er, really?? | 07:50.14 |
| kens | Not for me, I have libpng, openjepg, trio and zlib only | 07:50.31 |
| | I'll uninstall, reboot and try again, I didn't reboot after uninstalling my existing 9.15 | 07:51.25 |
| | Hmm, only one 9.15 uninstaller in the control panel | 07:52.05 |
| | Oh and then it gives me an error trying to uninstall it. | 07:52.27 |
| | I'm guesing the original uninstall failed. | 07:52.34 |
| | OK reboot. | 07:53.11 |
| jcyangzh | kens: I am using mupdf 0.5 which is used by vudroid. I could upload the whole project and the specific pdf. | 07:53.53 |
| Robin_Watts | jcyangzh: You can upload the project and the pdf, but we would be unlikely to look. | 07:54.38 |
| | We have enough work as it is without having to try to support some frankenstein version of the code. | 07:55.02 |
| jcyangzh | Robin_Watts: Ok. | 07:55.23 |
| Robin_Watts | Use the latest version of mupdf in its entirely, and then we'd be much more likely to look at any problems that show up. | 07:55.43 |
| kens | chrisl reinstalling failed to install anything at all (installing 'just for me') is there anything in the registry that might hvae been left over that I should kill before trying again ? | 07:56.55 |
| | SO installing 'for everyone' worked, but when I try to uninstall it tells me an error occured. SO I'm guessing I have something left behin in the registry which is causing problems with the uninstaller | 08:00.50 |
| | Oh, and my GS_LIB is incorrect, which causes the cidfmap generation to fail, but I can sort that out. | 08:01.11 |
| chrisl | I can probably fix the GS_LIB issue | 08:04.28 |
| kens | I'm just trying to find out where the environment variable is set and squash it. AS usual I cna't find it in the control panel | 08:04.55 |
| | aha there it is | 08:05.24 |
| | The uninstaller doesn't want to work though | 08:06.10 |
| chrisl | Is this the revised installer? | 08:07.00 |
| kens | Its your test one | 08:07.07 |
| | I uninstalled hte previous 9.15 I had (the released one) then re-installed both 32 and 64 bit test versions | 08:07.29 |
| | But I seem to have messed up the uninstaller | 08:07.41 |
| chrisl | So, in what way is the uninstaller refusing to work? | 08:07.44 |
| kens | It throws me a dialog saying there was an error and asking if I want to remove the application from the list. | 08:08.08 |
| | That's doing it from the control panel | 08:08.21 |
| chrisl | Hrm, run it from the start menu instead | 08:08.39 |
| kens | Really ? ok. | 08:08.55 |
| | Right, that does seem to work | 08:09.25 |
| | It leaves the 'uninstall Ghostscript 9.15 for WIN32' shortcut behind though | 08:10.03 |
| chrisl | Oh, FFS!! | 08:10.43 |
| kens | Same for the 64-bit uninstaller | 08:11.01 |
| chrisl | Did you installer for every one, or current user only? | 08:11.17 |
| kens | all users that time, because the 'just for me' installation didn't work | 08:11.39 |
| | I'll try the 'this user' option again now that the uninstaller has had a fair chance | 08:11.53 |
| chrisl | Well, it doesn't leave the shortcut in the start menu for me..... | 08:12.39 |
| | On Vista | 08:12.53 |
| kens | Like I said, I think my registry has something left in it. THe 'just for me' installer deosn't work for me. | 08:13.06 |
| | Ah wait, I'm looking in the wrong place | 08:13.32 |
| | OK there it is. Its caused by the fact that Windows doesn';t like me having Users on drive D | 08:14.04 |
| chrisl | I'm not exactly sure if there's a way to resolve that...... we write to and delete from the Start Menu that Windows tells us to | 08:15.07 |
| kens | Its not your fault, that's Microsoft stupidity | 08:15.28 |
| | Insistence that User should always be on drive C is inane | 08:15.43 |
| | Let me try the uninstaller now | 08:15.55 |
| | No, still leaving behind the shortcuts to the uninstaller. I'll delete them manually (if I can remember how) and retry | 08:17.01 |
| chrisl | OKay, so I see why the uninstaller doesn't work right from add/remove programs..... should be easy to resolve | 08:18.44 |
| kens | That would be good, I expect a few people use that still | 08:19.01 |
| | OK this time the uninstaller shortcut went away. I'll keep poking it | 08:19.45 |
| | chrisl I can't replicate the problem, I'm inclined to assume it was caused by me trying to use the control panel and getting things messed up. As long as I use the start menu shortcuts, it all seems to work fine | 08:24.02 |
| chrisl | Okay, thanks. The license thing it just the text of the LICENSE file (it's not directly part of the installer), so I've fixed that | 08:25.37 |
| kens | I saw the commit, I didn't realise it was a general file | 08:25.52 |
| | Very minor point though | 08:26.04 |
| chrisl | The GS_LIB issue will take some digging: my feeling is that I want to set it *only* for the duration of the installer executable, rather than overwrite the user's existing setting. | 08:27.39 |
| kens | That would seem reasonable, I've just killed it in my environment as it annoys me, whenever I try to run an installed older GS I have to remove it. | 08:28.18 |
| chrisl | We should maybe make an easy way to set it in the registry instead | 08:29.10 |
| kens | Instead of an environment variable ? | 08:29.40 |
| chrisl | No, as well as.... | 08:30.00 |
| kens | Ah ok | 08:30.04 |
| chrisl | We currently have a GS_LIB in the registry, and we check the environment variable first, then the registry value. The advantage of the registry setting is that it's tied to the GS version | 08:31.01 |
| kens | That's nicer, certainly | 08:31.16 |
| chrisl | But you have to edit the registry manually to change it from what the installer writes there | 08:31.47 |
| kens | Hmm, that's less nice | 08:32.04 |
| | But I suspect not a huge issue | 08:32.27 |
| chrisl | Yeh, so a little standalone app that let you set GS_LIB, FONTPATH etc. might be nice | 08:33.22 |
| kens | A power user option :-) | 08:33.35 |
| tor8 | has Miles said which hotel we'll be staying at? | 09:27.26 |
| kens | Not that I've ssen, I was going to send a mail to ask | 09:27.41 |
| | Need to know by tomomrrow evening | 09:27.53 |
| chrisl | It might be better to SMS henrys to prompt Miles, if they're at the show..... | 09:29.23 |
| kens | wonders if Miles remembered to book a hotel.... | 09:31.40 |
| chrisl | We should definitely establish that before going to the airport!! | 09:32.52 |
| tor8 | ... it wouldn't be the first time he's cocked up bookings :( | 09:34.00 |
| kens | Will one of you text Henry ? Might be best to wait a couple of hours so as not to get him out of bed by mistake | 09:34.47 |
| chrisl | Well, it would teach him not to leave his phone active overnight! | 09:35.23 |
| kens | Yeah, but I'd quite like an answer :-) | 09:35.38 |
| jogux | I guess you guys in the same hotel as me? I'm in Sheraton Chicago O'Hare Airport | 09:43.58 |
| kens | jogux : We can hope its the same hotel, thanks for the info :) | 09:44.19 |
| | Its certainly a likely candidate | 09:44.27 |
| jogux | :) | 09:46.00 |
| tor8 | jogux: thanks. if I hear nothing else that's where I'll go. I believe I'm scheduled to arrive a few hours later than everybody else, at 17.40 | 09:49.34 |
| kens | tor8 a cunning plan, hopefully by then you can ask one of us :-) | 09:50.13 |
| tor8 | kens: indeed! It may be too late to join you all for dinner though. | 09:53.31 |
| kens | Hmm, probably eating in the hotel, if I remember the area correctly | 09:53.54 |
| tor8 | and remember that the hotel shuttles only leave from the domestic terminals | 09:54.32 |
| kens | Ah, a good spot there, well remembered tor8 | 09:54.49 |
| jogux | tor8: oh, joy. | 09:58.15 |
| tor8 | jogux: yeah, don't repeat the same mistake we all did the first time in chicago and wait an hour at the international hotel shuttle stop for a shuttle that only comes there if called for. | 09:58.59 |
| | it's faster to just go to the domestic terminal bus stop than call and wait the extra half hour they need to tell the driver to stop by there | 09:59.27 |
| jogux | my current assumption wsa that it was walkable, but I'd forgotten that "airport hotel" means something different in the UK & US... | 10:00.03 |
| kens | You'll want the shuttle..... | 10:00.20 |
| tor8 | jogux: yeah. the hotels are a good 10-15 minute drive out, along unwalkable highways. | 10:00.44 |
| jogux | google reckons it's walkable in an hour ;) | 10:00.59 |
| tor8 | do they mention survival odds? ;) | 10:01.15 |
| jogux | they do not. | 10:01.22 |
| kens | I suppose technhically its possible.... | 10:01.25 |
| jogux | ah, " This route has restricted usage or private roads." | 10:01.36 |
| | which iirc is their code for, "you'll get 75% of the way then find a frigging huge fence, it'll actually take you about 3 hours" | 10:02.14 |
| kens | I htought that was code for 'why do you want to walk you sad foreign loser' ? | 10:02.50 |
| jogux | :) | 10:03.24 |
| tor8 | "walkable if you've got body armor, bolt cutters, caltrops and are prepared to use them"? | 10:03.26 |
| jogux | http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/28/travel/chicago-ohare-midway-flights-stopped/ | 10:11.19 |
| kens | henry pointed it out the other day :-( | 10:11.43 |
| jogux | ah, missed that. | 10:11.50 |
| | sounds pretty bad :( | 10:13.50 |
| kens | Well its better than it was a few days ago | 10:14.07 |
| jogux | nods | 10:14.42 |
| kens | be prepared for significant delays on landing and leaving though | 10:14.48 |
| tor8 | I'm very happy that I have a direct flight! | 10:15.23 |
| Robin_Watts | Which hotel are we at? | 10:31.29 |
| kens | We don't know | 10:31.45 |
| Robin_Watts | I think jogux might. | 10:31.52 |
| kens | Yes, he suggested the Sheraton | 10:32.03 |
| | But that assumes we are all at the same hotel | 10:32.36 |
| Robin_Watts | Right. That's where we were last time. | 10:32.42 |
| | I'm sure we'll all be at the same one. | 10:32.47 |
| chrisl | Henry will prompt Miles about the hotel in a little while | 13:04.52 |
| kens | thanks chrisl | 13:05.09 |
| Robin_Watts | I am 99.9% sure that we'll be at the same hotel as Joseph, as otherwise he'd have warned Joseph that he had to change hotel for the meeting. | 13:07.18 |
| kens | Me too, but its worth a check | 13:07.31 |
| chrisl | Robin_Watts: as tor8 observed, it wouldn't be first time there'd been booking mix-ups | 13:08.57 |
| Robin_Watts | be fair. The booking mixups only ever affect tor. | 13:09.20 |
| chrisl | It was Marcos in Texas..... | 13:09.45 |
| Robin_Watts | oh, true. | 13:09.59 |
| chrisl | You are almost certainly correct, though. But, like kens, I'd prefer to be sure | 13:10.51 |
| Robin_Watts | sure. asking doesn't hurt. | 13:11.08 |
| Robin_Watts | remembers to phone credit card people more than 24 hours in advance for a change. | 14:16.43 |
| kens | OK so it is indeed the SHeraton | 14:23.00 |
| chrisl | <sigh> Windows is bonkers, and I hate it...... :-( | 15:47.40 |
| kens | More installer trouble ? | 15:47.53 |
| jogux | chrisl> yep. :( | 15:48.06 |
| chrisl | kens: One of the issues you spotted this morning..... | 15:48.21 |
| kens | I had a feeling ti would be that... :P-( | 15:48.34 |
| chrisl | The UninstallerString reg entry, it seems, must be an actual executable file, and not a shorcut/link file | 15:49.09 |
| kens | THat does seem odd. | 15:49.43 |
| chrisl | In addition, the uninstaller section in the registry does not, as far as I can see, allow for a parameter to be passed to the uninstaller | 15:50.08 |
| kens | knows nothing about the canonical uninstaller stuff tehse days | 15:50.37 |
| chrisl | But wtf is the point of shortcuts if Windows itself doesn't handle them (in some presumably unspecified cases)? | 15:51.26 |
| kens | Well I've never liked them :-) | 15:51.44 |
| chrisl | Perhaps I can do it with a batch file instead..... | 15:52.10 |
| kens | Well, they are executable | 15:52.27 |
| chrisl | Well, really, so is the shortcut - it depends on whether the add/remove programs part of Windows understands them...... | 15:53.07 |
| kens | a .bat has been executable for a lot longer than a .lnk :-) | 15:53.35 |
| | You could always write an executable in C to do the work | 15:54.11 |
| | Even if it just spawns a batch file | 15:54.21 |
| chrisl | True, and I will as a last resort. But I'm hoping to keep this contained inside the installer code | 15:54.51 |
| kens | Robin_Watts : if you look at the altona file in Acrobat with 'simulate overprinting' you will see what it (and the top right bars) should look like | 15:55.18 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: Right, but we don't do that shit :) | 15:55.32 |
| kens | SOrry for 'it' read 'the overlapping circles' | 15:55.35 |
| | Robin_Watts : you can't, not if you convert everything to RGB | 15:55.55 |
| | But the squares in the orange in the centre image look wrong | 15:56.07 |
| Robin_Watts | indeed. I compared png16m of gs to png of mupdf, which seemed 'fair'. | 15:56.19 |
| | but I have no idea about the image. | 15:56.33 |
| kens | Hmm, your ourput hasn't got the strange squares that Henry's has | 15:56.49 |
| Robin_Watts | I'd have to take the file to bits to see what it's doing, and I don't have time. One for Tor8, possibly. | 15:56.50 |
| kens | Oh sorry, yes it does, wrong png | 15:57.07 |
| Robin_Watts | My output has the 'X'. | 15:57.11 |
| | I've seen that in other test files, and it's to do with overprint I think. | 15:57.26 |
| kens | I suspect that is overprinted too | 15:57.27 |
| | :-) | 15:57.31 |
| | Hmm, doesn't turn up in Acrobat if I turn off voerprinting | 15:57.59 |
| | Could be a colour management thing | 15:58.09 |
| | GS gave some warnings about ICC profiles | 15:58.17 |
| | No, three's no overpint there | 15:59.20 |
| | Hmm, cna't edit the file in Acrobat. | 16:00.50 |
| chrisl | kens: was it the altona tests that had a contrasting color as a fallback for ICC colors, so objects appeared (or appeared more clearly) if you didn't handle ICC profiles? | 16:01.01 |
| kens | chrisl THat is what I suspect, or something like that | 16:01.24 |
| chrisl | I can't remember if was Altona or Ghent that had a bunch of tests like that. | 16:02.16 |
| kens | I thinnk both do | 16:02.21 |
| | Either way, I don't believe its anything to worry about | 16:02.50 |
| rayjj | do any of you know how hard it would be to back convert a VS 2010 solution file back to a 2008 version ? | 16:03.24 |
| kens | I cna see x in the GS output, but it very faint | 16:03.28 |
| | rayjj I think that's pretty hard | 16:03.48 |
| | Though I haven't tried it | 16:04.05 |
| Robin_Watts | rayjj: urg. That's not trivial. | 16:04.22 |
| | They changed the format of the file considerably. | 16:04.30 |
| | Separate .filter file for a start. | 16:04.38 |
| chrisl | And presumably there isn't an "export" function.... | 16:04.48 |
| Robin_Watts | sorry, separate filter section I mean. | 16:04.57 |
| | rayjj: That's why I lobby for always shipping the earliest versions possible. | 16:05.29 |
| rayjj | oh, darn. Then I have to either (a) find VS 2010 express to download and install, or (b) change cust 532's batch file over to work with VS 2013 :-( | 16:05.32 |
| | hmm... it seems that MS still has 2010 express available :-) | 16:06.56 |
| Robin_Watts | http://www.downloadcrew.com/article/4338-microsoft_visual_studio_2010_express_iso | 16:07.14 |
| rayjj | Robin_Watts: thanks. I'm using http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads#d-2010-express | 16:08.28 |
| Robin_Watts | ah, great. | 16:08.43 |
| rayjj | wow! That was fairly painless and quick. And it even runs :-) | 16:12.46 |
| | LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt -- but it doesn't tell me which file :-( | 16:27.11 |
| | Robin_Watts: re the Altona image, what do you mean by "The X on the orange is wrong" ??? | 18:00.53 |
| | Oh, on henry's copy. nm | 18:01.34 |
| fredross-perry | If anyoneâs on, hereâs a thing. I use MS Word on OS X to create a document with some links. I can save as PDF, or print to PDF. Either way, fz_load_links does not find the links. Is this a known thing? If instead I use a free online docx-to-pdf converter, it works fine. Thanks. | 19:37.14 |
| sebras | mutatormath looks interesting if you are considering MM-fonts, no..? | 22:54.23 |
| | tor8: robin: ^^ | 22:54.34 |
| mvrhel | It was the Ghent tests that have the ICC tests | 23:51.37 |
