| aksr | hi guys, i was testing some pdf2text conversion with (mudraw -tt(t) 1.pdf 1.txt) and i was wondering is there a way to add something like <FIGURE> or similar for figs when doing pdf conversion? what do you think about this? | 11:31.48 |
| | (this is a feature request if it's possible technically to do it) | 11:32.34 |
| | mudraw -t(tt) 1.pdf >1.txt â better | 11:33.37 |
| jogux | hi aksr - I think the engineers that know about that might be on a holiday/plane just now after a staff meeting | 11:38.19 |
| | I'm not a mupdf engineer, but it does sound like it's technically possible | 11:38.44 |
| aksr | jogux: ok :) | 11:38.48 |
| | jogux: yeah, i think so, too | 11:39.05 |
| | also it's useful | 11:39.15 |
| jogux | possibly best to log it as an enhancement request on http://bugs.ghostscript.com (there's a mupdf component) | 11:39.30 |
| | do you have a support contract for mupdf? | 11:39.37 |
| aksr | jogux: no | 11:39.46 |
| jogux | ok. if you know the C programming language it may not be too difficult to look at adding it yourself, if you pop back towards the end of the week there's likely to be someone around who can give you guidance :-) | 11:40.42 |
| aksr | jogux: ok, thank you ;) | 11:41.18 |
| kens | For the logs; Tor and I are currently 'enjoying' an unexpected break in St John's Newfoundland. We won't be back home until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest :-( | 14:20.09 |
| chrisl | kens: Holy cow! How'd that happen, then? | 14:21.01 |
| kens | sick passenger, got diverted :-(( thenthey had a refuelling problem, then the flight crew ran out of hours | 14:21.45 |
| | Since BA don't fly here, no relief crew, so we have to wait until they have had a mandatory break before we can fly on | 14:22.30 |
| | Which will be tomorrow sometime | 14:22.44 |
| chrisl | What a pain :-( | 14:22.48 |
| kens | And the 'high speed' internet seems to be rather a joke, though possily there are a couple of hundred people all trying to use it simultaneously | 14:23.37 |
| chrisl | That seems likely! | 14:24.23 |
| pedro_mac | kens: thatâs unfortunate :( | 14:25.23 |
| kens | I'm going to give up on gmail for a bit and have a fast shower then meet tor and try and scrounge some lunch | 14:25.26 |
| | Sitting on the tarmac for 7 hours is 'unfortunate' all right :-( | 14:26.33 |
| chrisl | kens: I hope the hotel is nice, at least! | 14:27.11 |
| chrisl | heads to breakfast | 14:27.20 |
| kens | Its a Holiday Inn, so its fine, but better WiFi would be goood. I think the damp string may be frozen..... | 14:27.40 |
| jogux | kens: oh dear, that sucks :-( | 14:40.25 |
| | kens: if there's a positive side, there's probably a good chance that'll put you in line for 600 EUR compensation for arriving late :-) | 14:42.03 |
| | although I wonder if they'll try to invoke the 'exception circumstances, no compensation' clause. | 14:42.33 |
| kens | Its going to cost them anyway, several hundred passengers, all needing rooms, lunch dinner and breakfast | 14:44.25 |
| jogux | yeah, indeed. that's rather ouchy. plus the peeps who your plane was meant to pick up after you got off... | 14:45.05 |
| kens | But I expect a lot will try for compensation too. The ill passenger is one thing, but the inability to refuel is *their* problem, and taht's herewhat got us stuck | 14:45.23 |
| jogux | mm, good point :) | 14:45.43 |
| kens | I'm off to hunt lunch. Round here that could be literally | 14:47.13 |
| | Latest word (from my driver) is landing 3:30 pm tomorrow, a mere 30 hours late | 14:48.03 |
| jogux | :-( | 14:48.29 |
| zlnk | Hi, I have a question about Mupdf on android | 15:34.48 |
| jogux | zlnk: go ahead and ask; if no-one here can answer check back later in the logs (possibly much later, I think it's a day or two more before our android peeps are back working) | 15:36.02 |
| zlnk | thanks, here I go: | 15:36.37 |
| | When I`m displaying bitmaps on landscape mode, on the function gotoPageInternal the application crash due to one Fatal signal ( 11 ) | 15:37.00 |
| | is there a better way to work with the cache | 15:37.33 |
| | because sometimes, when I`m on the 90 page by example, the app goes to 45 and the app make a lot of memory work | 15:38.15 |
| jogux | do you know what version of the code you're using? | 15:41.35 |
| zlnk | yeap, I`m using the 1.6 version | 15:42.30 |
| | and I modified it a bit, for read a folder with many pdfs of a single page | 15:42.54 |
| jogux | okay, great - fairly recent. and do you know if you can reproduce the same issue in the mupdf that's on the google play store? | 15:42.56 |
| zlnk | I haven't tried that yet | 15:43.25 |
| | I'll see what happens | 15:43.34 |
| jogux | great, thanks. you can use the mupdf command line tools to combine your pdfs into a single one for testing if that helps (I think). | 15:44.38 |
| | if you can reproduce it in the play app, it would be great if you can create an entry on http://bugs.ghostscript.com with the exact steps, device/os info and the document attached. | 15:45.32 |
| | if you can't, we probably need to see your code changes and figure out who knows about this area of the code :-) | 15:45.58 |
| zlnk | I see | 15:46.06 |
| | now, I`m testing it | 15:46.13 |
| | the problem is, that on the version that is avalailable on playstore | 15:48.32 |
| | in landscape view, you can see only one page | 15:48.44 |
| | and I'm rendering two | 15:49.21 |
| | sometimes when I scroll faster in landscape mode, the pages doesnt render, and in the method "DrawPage" trow the message "render failed" | 15:51.59 |
| | is there a way to release that bitmaps, and let the space free, besides the function AndroidBitmap_unlockPixels | 15:53.08 |
| | ?? | 15:53.10 |
| jogux | I think that's probably beyond my knowledge of Android to answer. | 15:57.53 |
| | the memory stuff has had a fair amount of tuning for the way our mupdf app works, so it may be it needs some tweaks for your scenarios | 15:58.23 |
| | paulgardiner or Robin_Watts are probably the people that might be able to talk in more depth, I'm not sure exactly when they're back in the office though. | 15:58.54 |
| zlnk | Oh, I see, well... thanks anyway | 16:00.16 |
| | I will see if can apply some tricks for manage memory, and I will share if I found something useful | 16:00.45 |
| jogux | please do, sorry I can't be more help, I just don't know that area of the code | 16:02.03 |
| zlnk | no don`t worry, thanks for your help | 16:04.06 |
| | it's useful too to share some ideas and discuss a bit the problem :) | 16:04.23 |
| kens | My it's cold here.... | 16:16.22 |
| jogux | zlnk: I think Matt (who unfortunately isn't working for us anymore) made quite a few changes to some of the Android cacheing code possibly for situations like this - looking back at the git log for hte Android directory might help, his commit messages are likely to be pretty explanatory about what he changed and why. | 16:17.13 |
| kens | FWIW I think the UK contingent are flying back on Wednesday, but to be honest I wouldn't expect too much this week what with jet lag and all | 16:17.56 |
| jogux | kens: ah, thanks... I couldn't remember. | 16:18.19 |
| jogux | looks at a map of where kens actually is. yikes. | 16:18.32 |
| kens | Also if they depart Wednesday they won't be home till Thursday | 16:18.32 |
| | Yeah we had to turn round and com back :-( | 16:18.47 |
| jogux | how far did you get over the Atlantic? | 16:18.47 |
| | :( | 16:18.53 |
| kens | Just past Canada | 16:19.17 |
| | Top temperature here today is -5, and there's a serious breeze | 16:19.40 |
| | It feels like copper did at -20 | 16:19.53 |
| jogux | makes Glasgow sound positively warm just now | 16:21.55 |
| kens | :-) | 16:22.03 |
| | What temperature are you at today ? | 16:22.12 |
| | Copper Mountina felt nicet sunshine at -3 in the bri | 16:22.25 |
| jogux | any good sightseeing to be had there? can't imagine you'll ever go there again :-) | 16:22.28 |
| kens | The hotal is offering a sight-seeing trip of the historic harbour at $50 | 16:23.07 |
| | It sounds even colder though | 16:23.16 |
| jogux | get your full ski kit on and go for it :-) | 16:23.28 |
| | we're sporting 9C at the moment, or 5C with windchill factored in. | 16:23.44 |
| kens | Tor tells me 200,000 people live here, I can''t imagine why...... | 16:23.45 |
| jogux | hehe | 16:23.51 |
| pedro_mac | kens: thatâs about the same as here ;) | 16:24.29 |
| kens | Positively tropical after this last week :-) | 16:24.48 |
| | Well, -21 was quite chilly | 16:24.48 |
| pedro_mac | reads jogux âs comment as kens | 16:24.54 |
| kens | LOL | 16:26.03 |
| | Seems tful with everyone being awayo have been reasonably quiet the last couple of days, so that's help | 16:26.41 |
| | stupid, stupid track pad | 16:26.56 |
| | I nder if earthing my hand would help..... | 16:27.10 |
| zlnk | thanks jogux, I 'll check the logs to check if I found something | 16:28.11 |
| mvrhel_laptop | kens: sorry to hear about your troubles | 17:04.23 |
| kens | mvrhel_laptop : that's life I guess | 17:07.26 |
| | If you travel enough you'll get a bit of everything | 17:07.42 |
| mvrhel_laptop | I have never been to Newfoundland. I did not realize how far out it was | 17:07.52 |
| | You are about 1/2 way home | 17:07.59 |
| | I hope tor is feeling a bit better | 17:08.11 |
| kens | Yeah a little over half maybe | 17:08.16 |
| mvrhel_laptop | nothing worst than being sick stuck in some odd place | 17:08.27 |
| kens | Sitting on a motionless airplane for 7 hours is a good challenger :-) | 17:09.01 |
| mvrhel_laptop | oh yes that would not be good | 17:09.13 |
| kens | That's how long we were sitting on the tarmac here, after that just getting of it is a relief | 17:09.52 |
| mvrhel_laptop | yes. | 17:10.06 |
| | I wonder why I can't push to the new gsview repository that tor created for me. | 17:11.54 |
| | I cloned from it. made my changes to get it working | 17:12.06 |
| | I can push to my clone of it on casper | 17:12.16 |
| | I get | 17:14.12 |
| | remote: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects | 17:14.19 |
| | remote: fatal: failed to write object | 17:14.21 |
| | error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit | 17:14.22 |
| | To ghostscript.com:/home/git/gsview.git | 17:14.24 |
| | ! [remote rejected] master -> master (unpacker error) | 17:14.25 |
| | error: failed to push some refs to 'ghostscript.com:/home/git/gsview.git' | 17:14.27 |
| kens | Tor is aroud an (probably) awake, I'm surprised he's not on here | 17:15.05 |
| mvrhel_laptop | if he gets bored, maybe ask him to see if he has any ideas | 17:15.30 |
| | I have gsview building now, so he could remove it all from the mupdf project too | 17:16.02 |
| | oh hold on | 17:16.54 |
| | I may have a silly putty issue | 17:17.16 |
| | nope :( | 17:18.18 |
| | ok. I am going to run a couple errands be back in a bit | 17:19.19 |
| kens | I'd have to go knock on his door | 17:19.35 |
| mvrhel_laptop | kens: don't bother him with it | 17:29.45 |
| kens | I have to say we're both pretty tired | 17:36.39 |
| mvrhel_laptop | kens: yes. it can wait. I have plenty of other things to do and can push to my repos on casper | 17:45.56 |
| kens | Fair enough, I hope you had a decent flight back :-) | 17:46.23 |
| mvrhel_laptop | kens: over-all yes. I was not able to get on the early flight so had to hangout for about 5 or 6 hours at the airport. | 17:47.25 |
| | the upside was that I got bumped up to first class | 17:47.39 |
| | which rarely happens | 17:47.45 |
| | but made the 3 hour flight comfortable | 17:47.59 |
| tor5 | kens: touch wood, the damp string seems to have thawed out at last... | 19:21.21 |
| | mvrhel_laptop: try pushing now. the group permissions weren't set to writable when I created the repository... | 19:22.51 |
| rayjj | mvrhel_laptop: When you give me a list of files to send to the CL printer I just got, I'll start printing and comparing to GS | 19:23.01 |
| kens | tor5 did you get a piece of paper under the door ? They want us ready to leave at 5am so we can spend time being bored at the airport. | 19:38.25 |
| tor5 | kens: Yeah, got that. Also got a text and an email saying plane departs at 9. | 19:46.21 |
| kens | ah well they couldn't text me, and I haven't checked mail recently | 19:46.58 |
| tor5 | do they really expect the hotel to serve breakfast at 4am? | 19:47.04 |
| kens | I have no idea, I can't see any chance of breakfast here though. Maybe we can use it at the airport | 19:47.29 |
| sebras | tor5: welcome home? | 19:47.58 |
| sebras | writes before he reads, apparently. | 19:48.32 |
| tor5 | sebras: I'm not sure I'd call Newfoundland home... | 19:48.49 |
| sebras | tor5: close enough! | 19:49.02 |
| tor5 | sebras: Almost halfway :) | 19:49.13 |
| sebras | tor5: yeah, true but unfathomable really. | 19:51.13 |
| mvrhel_laptop | tor5: ok thanks! | 20:03.25 |
| | that worked | 20:04.03 |
| sebras | tor5: I saw helens (robins?) pictures of you guys standing looking at something afar. | 20:04.12 |
| mvrhel_laptop | tor5: so now you can rip out the windows directory from mupdf | 20:04.23 |
| tor5 | mvrhel_laptop: great. I'll do that once I get back and have recovered a bit. | 20:06.14 |
| mvrhel_laptop | tor5: ok. I hope the rest of your flight is uneventful! | 20:06.35 |
| sebras | tor5: did you manage to ski with your sore foot? | 20:11.31 |
| tor5 | sebras: was not a problem, foot healed up well in time for the trip | 20:12.35 |
| | sebras: skiing at that altitude was a bigger problem! | 20:12.49 |
| sebras | tor5: I only tried at 200m or so. :) | 20:13.29 |
| | tor5: how high did you guys go? | 20:14.24 |
| kens | Ski-ing was fine at 11,00 feet (mostly). Carrying skis on the other hand.... | 20:14.38 |
| tor5 | sebras: 3000+ meters high | 20:15.13 |
| kens | Damn, seems GS doesn't have an 'unescape string' function. So I shall steal the MuPDF one :-D | 20:18.05 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2015/03/10)>>> | |
