It's multiplatform and has some external GUI frontends [1], but afaik this frontend doesn't allow to change file metadata, you'll have to do it from command line (look at dump_data*, update_info* commands). [1] http://www.paehl.de/pdf/?GUI_for_PDFTK The program I mention (python-based, of course ) can trim the borders and (non-written yet) use pdftk to edit metadata.

Hi Iņigo,
The program functions indeed as specified, but it is not a very convenient way to edit the pdf metadata... I tried your sysinfo script and I got had the problem that the script has windows line-endings, converting them to unix made it all work. (I did not kill any process yet ) I also tried info.lua, but I am missing some lua libraries (base64) I guess I need to install a newer lua port. Marcel. |

I wrote the code on my home computer, a linux machine. The only windows computer my hands touch is this work laptop, but I don't develop here... Besides, the script worked both on the qemu and on my DR800. Haven't you uncompressed and edited the file on your computer before copying on the DR? Quote:

sysinfo works very nicely on both devices for me, a convenient way to switch off the keyboard left over from usbnet or rxvt for instance ...

Found it, there is an option 'TAR file smart CR/LF conversion'. Guess it was too smart ... Aha probably forgot to update to the latest version, will do that. |

Hi Iņigo,
I looked at your example: Quote:
So I experimented with another 'interface' for selecting extra tags using a dialog. See the attached picture. In the top-right you see an extra icon next to the search and short-cut icon. Pressing it will show the dialog. Which allows to select a function (E.g.: A and B and C and D, A or B or C or D) and 4 fields to select the value for A..D. (See bitbucket for code, I only experimented on qemu sofar.) Currently I still have several limitations/issues in the code, but in the future these could be removed when needed. (Among others: limited number of functions, what will be the behaviour of the comboboxes if too many tags are defined?) Please give me your feedback. Marcel. |

repods, I am not completely sure what you are talking about but for some of us users out there, the improvements by Mackx and Iņigo (and a few others) on the DR's ARE precisely the support we are looking for. To my mind and for my purposes, they make the devices better than most readers you can buy, even today. In fact I have not been able to find other readers with a similar set of features (pdf & djvu reading + most (all?) other formats out there through fbreader, xournal for annotations, lots of improvements and tweaks on the UI....)
When I bought the readers, the company was already bankrupt, but at that stage, who cares if the support is "official" or graciously provided by the some developers on this forum? |

Mackx was apparently typing faster than myself, and I just realize that I spend more than 12 minutes on my reply, back to work then ....

Anyway, people spend their time in what they want, so please refrain yourself of telling people what they can or can not do. As Mackx has already said, if you don't like what this forum does or represents, go away, and don't insult the work people are doing or even their interests. Iņigo |

Hello,
Quote:
As I understand, tags are extracted before selecting which documents will be shown, not the other way. Quote:
Code:
+-----------------------------+ | | | Label here | | | | | v| |tag1 v| | | |and v| |tag2 v| | | |or v| |tag3 v| | | |not v| |tag4 v| | | |ADD ROW| | | | | Result: | | tag1 & tag2 or tag3 !tag4 | | | +-----------------------------+ Problems with this design: - disambiguation "(tag1 & tag2) | tag3" or "tag1 & (tag2 | tag3)"? - list (and dialog) could grow too much => use a scrolledwindow for the verticalbox Iņigo |
