mvrhel_laptop rayjj: one bug per page would be fine01:20.35 
  rayj: I will be curious to see what the issues are. This file is very sensitive the the ICC output profile and comes with a output intent profile.01:21.24 
  Changing between RGB and CMYK output profiles is going to result in big differences01:21.46 
  and there may not be much that can be cone about it short of doing a proper CMYK workflow01:22.18 
  page 4 and page 7 in particular01:23.54 
  and page 801:24.17 
  and page 901:24.38 
  wow page 11 is dramatic with profile change01:25.22 
  page 1201:25.40 
  page 1501:26.47 
  page 1601:27.01 
  and page 1701:27.49 
  so Acrobat Reader demonstrates that one should expect big changes if you are doing an RGB work flow instead of a CMYK workflow for this file. It is clearly a demonstration to show the use of output intent and proper ICC usage. rayjj, I am curious how your new printer does with this file. gs with -dUsePDFX3Profile out to a CMYK device should give us the best results01:30.43 
marcosw_ jogux: the update to the latest xcode appears to work. I do get a warning about the box framework “missing required architecture arm64”. Presumably I need an update.01:55.41 
kens entropix (for the logs) You should probably file a bug report. However there is a recent report (onUbuntu) which nobody can reproduce, I'd suggest you start by downloading and building the source from our site, rather than using any packages.08:01.35 
sebras kens: good morning kens!08:40.04 
kens Morning sebras08:40.10 
sebras kens: all is back to normal and tor5 is nowhere to be seen for an hour or two more. :)08:40.22 
kens I'm not surprised, given his journet was even worse than mine08:40.37 
  journey*08:40.41 
sebras kens: how so?08:40.43 
  kens: he got stuck at heathrow?08:40.53 
kens He had to spend the night in Heathrow08:40.54 
  We both had problems, his were worse08:41.02 
sebras kens: helen mentioned that you guys were diverted to newfoundland..?08:41.14 
kens Indeed, and then got to spend more than 24 hours sitting there08:41.29 
  We should have been at HeaTHROW ~09:30 on Monday, we actually arrived 17:30 Tuesday08:41.58 
  By which time Tor had missed the last flight to Copenhagen and had to spend yet another night in an airport hotel08:42.16 
sebras kens: ok, but at least they got you a hotel.08:42.47 
kens After 7 hours sitting on the tarmac08:43.01 
sebras kens: in the plane?08:43.08 
kens Indeed08:43.12 
sebras kens: ouch.08:43.17 
kens A 9 hour flight, we spent 13 hours in the aircraft08:43.32 
sebras kens: I wonder why things like that happens..?08:43.57 
kens It was a combination of problems08:44.09 
sebras kens: it's one thing if you guys got stuck at the airport, but in the plane?!08:44.18 
jogux marcosw : great, thanks, that is one of the things we fixed.08:44.43 
kens THe initial mistake was letting a certain passenger on board (should haver been stopped at the gate) and when he caused problems they should have diverted sooner, instead of to a small provincial Canadian airport08:44.44 
  In fairness, the crew did a good job and did get us a hotel for the night08:45.30 
sebras kens: yeah, yey for supposedely drunk passengers.08:46.01 
kens Not sure this one was drunk, exactly, may have been something else08:46.24 
sebras kens: aha, when I've travelled to taiwan (transfer in bangkok) this was pretty common. hence my deduction.08:47.19 
kens But given the airports we flew over ahdn could have diverted to (Chicago, Boston, New York, Ottowa Toronto), we should not have ended up turning back to St John's08:47.19 
sebras kens: luckily you guys were just heading home and not out for a trip somewhere. imaginge the grief for those passengers. :-/08:49.32 
kens THere were some business folks who were unhappy. Soem of them ended up taking an Air Canada plane to TOronto and on to Heathrow (paying for the flights of course) arriving only about 24 hours late08:50.28 
Aqualon Hi there, we're trying to implement MuJS, is this the right channel for this project?09:20.31 
kens Aqualon : yes, but unfortunately a number of the developers are travelling right now09:21.00 
  Best thing is to ask your questions and someone will respond when they can.09:21.18 
  THe channel is logged at http://ghostscript.com/irclogs/current.html09:21.43 
Aqualon Okay, thank's a lot.09:25.32 
kens The main MuJS developer should be online 'soon', but he's recovering from the nightmare journey from hell at the moment09:26.14 
jogux aqualon: out of interest (if you can say) what sort of thing are you integrating mujs into?09:37.43 
Aqualon Server side script-engine for a native delphi application. We're currently in the evaluating process to check if MuJS fits our needs.09:57.40 
jogux interesting, thanks!09:59.53 
  hi Robin_Watts. flight back ok?14:00.37 
Robin_Watts yes thanks.14:00.45 
  Actually managed to sleep a bit.14:00.52 
jogux cool14:02.25 
henrys_ Robin_Watts: snow mobile looked like fun, I've never done it.15:15.45 
  tor5: can you field the customer question to support? I responded and said you and Robin_Watts were traveling but you'd get to it when you returned.15:16.57 
kens Tor is not online at the moment15:17.21 
  Probably recovering....15:17.32 
henrys_ kens: says tor5 left the chat room 5 minute before my message I missed that, but I guess he wasn't really here.15:19.32 
kens Yeah he'd been gone 5 minutes according to my log15:20.01 
  I imagine he's pretty shattered15:20.14 
henrys_ kens: I guess newfoundland wasn't a great deal of fun, only activity I hear about going on up there is seal beating and such.15:50.27 
kens It was flat and freezing :-(15:50.42 
  Apparently they did have a ski hill, I can't imagine where....15:50.57 
henrys_ kens: a really fast one probably15:51.23 
  frozen solid15:51.44 
kens Well I guess it woudl be over quickly.15:51.46 
  The wind chill (and the damp air) was hte problem15:52.01 
  TO be fair, it migh be a nice place if you haven't just been delayed by 10 hours on a long haul flight15:54.22 
  Oh Terry Pratchett has died :-(16:11.51 
Robin_Watts kens: yeah, just saw that.16:33.44 
  henrys_: Snow mobiling was awesome. We stood on a peak at 12000ft plus, and had a 360 degree view.16:34.14 
  We hit about 60mph a couple of times.16:34.42 
kens thinks; sounds like ski-ing :-)16:34.58 
Robin_Watts We were on basic machines with a guide, not doing anything silly.16:35.05 
  We came across 3 accidents. 1 was a stuck throttle (girl baled out, and was fine - machine hit tree at 60mph, not fine)16:35.54 
henrys_ Robin_Watts: all stayed in the car during the operation ? ;-)16:35.57 
Robin_Watts 2 were people being silly asses.16:36.03 
kens Silliness is not unusual on cnow mobiles IME16:36.23 
Robin_Watts kens: indeed.16:36.32 
  Chris and I hoolied around a fair amount, but were never in danger of doing any damage.16:36.57 
  You have to be deliberately doing dumb things pretty much.16:37.38 
  The girls were slow to start with, but were doing 40mph by the end of the day.16:37.54 
  I highly recommend it as a way to see scenery that you otherwise wouldn't get to.16:38.23 
  Ptarmigan Hill, 12146 ft.16:42.40 
  I forsee a new Meme in the making. Move over Hitler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHZ8ek-6ccc16:43.52 
henrys_ Robin_Watts: ;-)16:50.31 
  Robin_Watts: if tor pops in and I'm not here would you ask him to respond to the curstomer you've been going back and forth with. Or if you know the answer ...16:51.38 
Robin_Watts I don't offhand, so I will prod tor.16:52.19 
  gotta reboot.16:52.47 
henrys_ bbiaw17:45.22 
mvrhel_laptop marcosw: you around?18:37.26 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: Hi19:37.42 
  Did you do a commit to fix the vs solution?19:37.57 
  There is one on robin/master. (about 7 down from the top)19:42.24 
  If you nod at it, I'll push it.19:42.29 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: great let me look19:46.59 
  Robin_Watts: so third party lib also is wrong19:48.06 
  or differs between win32 and x64 in the same manner19:48.21 
  as libmupdf did19:48.26 
Robin_Watts bugger. give me 5 mins.19:48.27 
  libthirdparty looks right to me.19:56.55 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: hmm 19:58.56 
  hold on19:58.57 
  Win32 Output Directory is $(Configuration)\ x64 Output Directory is $(Platform)\$(Configuration)\20:00.05 
  why would they not be the same?20:00.17 
  i.e that is $(Platform)\$(Configuration)\20:00.52 
  Robin_Watts: like what you have changed in libmupdf.vcproj20:01.59 
  Robin_Watts: do you need to change where the libs are found for the other projects?20:02.30 
Robin_Watts Every 32 bit one is: $(ConfigurationName) and $(ConfigurationName)\$(ProjectName)20:04.27 
  Every 64bit one is: $(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName) and $(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)\$(ProjectName)20:04.50 
  I don't want to move the 32bit ones from where they have always been.20:05.33 
  I've got to run. will check back in later. sorry!20:05.51 
  feel free to push my commit, or to produce one that you prefer, for me to look at later.20:06.12 
mvrhel_laptop ok. I would think that you would have the same, but if thats what you want to do20:06.20 
  but it just seems odd to have this difference between 32bit and 64bit 20:12.11 
  ok. found the issue with this overprint bug20:52.00 
  oh. no actually not21:02.40 
  aha! This file has mixed op and OP settings in the graphic state21:24.56 
  I bet we are getting screwed up with that21:25.14 
  this is going to require a bit of work on the interpreter21:25.53 
zlnk Hi jogux!, are you there?21:44.55 
Robin_Watts zlnk: Jogux has probably gone for the night.21:45.19 
  It's 21:45 in the UK.21:45.26 
  Can I help?21:45.33 
zlnk A few days ago, I had a problem using Mupdf 1.6 on Android and with landscape view implemented21:46.14 
  When I scroll to fast, the app crashed21:46.47 
  so he suggested me, that maybe could be a thread problem21:47.09 
Robin_Watts zlnk: Sounds plausible.21:47.32 
  IIRC from what I saw of the discussion in the logs, you had made modifications.21:47.52 
zlnk I want to comment that I could solve it, making a little trick on CancellableAsynctask21:47.53 
Robin_Watts You were calling th same C classes from modified java ones, I think?21:48.11 
zlnk particulary the gotopage Internal and drawPage21:48.47 
Robin_Watts What's the change ?21:51.13 
zlnk after the doInBackground process21:52.00 
  I included the function doCleanUp , that change the value of a counter when the process it's done21:52.55 
  so, if this value is higher than "X", the draw process is not done, until the previous end21:53.59 
Robin_Watts zlnk: Could you open a bug on bugs.ghostscript.com and attach a patch there please?21:54.28 
zlnk this case was very specific, when someone try to scroll very fast without stop21:54.29 
  of course21:54.38 
Robin_Watts I'm too jet lagged to be able to visualise it :)21:54.42 
zlnk I'll write it with detail21:56.35 
  Thanks again, and the last time you helped me to create a function for manage many documents of one page, and visualizing as a single one21:57.41 
  Bye!22:02.10 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: I pushed the msvc change.22:12.02 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: ok22:12.08 
Robin_Watts yes, I know that x64 and x86 versions are not symmetric.22:12.41 
  The clean thing...22:12.48 
mvrhel_laptop to me that seems odd, but I will make my project have the same asymmetry in defining where the libs are 22:13.56 
Robin_Watts The way I envisage it working, is that you'd make an fz_write_options on the stack, init it to 0, set the appropriate options in it,and call pdfclean_clean22:14.10 
  or something like that.22:14.31 
mvrhel_laptop Robin_Watts: this has nothing to do with pdf_clean_clean22:14.34 
Robin_Watts No, but the pdfclean_clean thing was the other thing we had left over from our discussions at the staff meeting.22:14.58 
mvrhel_laptop this has to do with having a project that depends upon a mupdf lib and making sure that I grab the right one22:15.02 
Robin_Watts Right.22:15.06 
mvrhel_laptop I will revisit the pdf_clean thing a bit later. I am neck deep is this crazy overprint gs bug22:15.46 
  that is looking to be an interpreter issue22:15.54 
Robin_Watts I'll beat on the pdfclean thing to get it a bit tidier.22:15.57 
  yeah, that looks horrid.22:16.05 
mvrhel_laptop the stroke and fill have different overprint settings22:16.20 
  and I don't see how we are dealing with that on the interpreter side22:16.32 
  Robin_Watts: question for you22:17.00 
  pgs->overprint and pgs->overprint_alt22:17.11 
  is one supposed to be for stroke and one for fill?22:17.18 
  I think you did this part22:17.29 
Robin_Watts I did the stroke/fill color stuff, yes.22:17.44 
  overprint and overprint_alt sound plausibly the same thing.22:18.11 
  I'd want to check git blame to be sure.22:18.19 
mvrhel_laptop it is only set in gs_swapcolors_quick22:18.59 
  so a graphic state in PDF can define a op and an OP22:20.24 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: Right.22:20.31 
mvrhel_laptop It looks like setfillstate and set strokestate are doing the correct thing in pdfops. This would end up seting overprint_alt with the "stroke" overprint value22:37.09 
  question is though, when would overprint_alt be the real overprint22:37.28 
  i.e. setstrokestate does a swap, Sets the StrokeOverprint which is OP22:38.21 
  and then we do another swap which will fill overprint_alt 22:38.55 
  taking a break 22:40.03 
  bbiaw22:40.04 
Robin_Watts mvrhel_laptop: I'm just off to bed.22:44.02 
  but the idea is that we swap in the appropriate set of colors/colorspaces/opm's etc before doing the drawing operation.22:44.34 
mvrhel_laptop I see23:08.32 
  ok just verified that it is NOT a mix up between the op and OP settings23:20.47 
  something else is wrong23:21.01 
  and I found the graphic state that is getting set that is at least causing the issue. interestingly it is also setting a halftone pattern23:25.53 
  but that has no effect23:28.24 
  this file sucks23:45.21
