Redmine NDArchive - Bug #267 (New): seems to be hanginghttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2672021-10-06T14:05:37ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>This may be a problem with threads that have been closed, or it may be ND being slow today, but NDArchive keeps hanging when I try to archive this thread:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nextdoor.com/p/g29PPQ-M5-JJ?view=detail">https://nextdoor.com/p/g29PPQ-M5-JJ?view=detail</a></p> simple-scan - Feature #266 (New): better sorting UIhttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2662021-09-25T14:27:43ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>SS provides the ability to rearrange the order of scanned pages so that they will be numbered properly when saved. It also uses a reasonably sensible naming system for the output files, for formats that only save a single scan per file (i.e. everything except PDF, i.e. JPEG and PNG), in that it counts the number of output files and uses only as many digits as needed (up to 9 scans will be numbered with a single digit, 10-99 will be numbered with two; I haven't tested anything more than about 30 pages but presumably it goes on to 3 digits for 100-999 images, and what an afternoon of scanning <em>that</em> would be). That number is then automatically appended to the main part of the filename for each image when the batch is saved, e.g. my-filename-1.png, my-filename-2.png, etc. So far so good.</p>
<p>In some circumstances, however, this manual rearranging becomes extremely tedious -- such as when scanning a long set of double-sided pages from the sheet-feeder.</p>
<p>Just as an example, let's say you have 10 double-sided sheets to scan. The first sheet is p1 and p2, the second is p3 and p4, and so on. The sheet-feeder only sees one side at a time, so if you scan in the pile with the feeder then turn it over to scan the other side, you get the pages in this order: 1,3,5,7,9,10,8,6,4,2. This can take several minutes to sort out, given that the display will only show about 2-3 pages at once and that there are no keyboard shortcuts for moving pages. You have to right-click on p2 and select "move left", then do it again, then scroll to the left so you can see it again, then repeat... (I usually end up moving on to the next out-of-order page I <em>can</em> see in order to minimize scrolling, but this can get confusing quickly.)</p>
<p>I can think of two possible solutions for this; the second one would probably be better for my needs, but I can see the first one being more useful in some circumstances.</p>
1. Create a "light table" mode where
<ul>
<li>the image-view can be resized</li>
<li>the page scrolls across-and-downward instead of just across (i.e. show images left-to-right but go down when the right edge is reached, providing a vertical scroll-bar, rather than going off-window and providing a horizontal scroll-bar)</li>
<li>the user can click-and-drag to sort images</li>
</ul>
2. Add an editable text-box to each image display which shows the current sorting-order/filename-suffic for that page. These should not be restricted to numerics.
<ul>
<li>The <em>default</em> value of the text should be derived the same way as the number appended to the filename when saving: 1-9 pages should be given single digits, 10-99 should be given 2 digits, etc. (If they did it right, the number of digits is just (log10(page_count)+1), rounded up to an int.)</li>
<li>There will need to be some way of dealing with identical indexes; see <a class="wiki-page" href="https://rm.vbz.net/projects/simple-scan/wiki/Duplicate_index_handling">duplicate index handling</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Sophia suggested a third solution -- adding a de-interleave option specifically to handle the double-sided-multipage scenario. Since this would be easier than either of the other options, we'll probably do this first.</p> simple-scan - Feature #265 (New): change default filetype for savinghttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2652021-09-25T13:46:32ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>SS always defaults to PDF for the output type. Even if you change it to another type when saving one set of files, and do not close the application, the file-type reverts to PDF for the next save operation.</p>
<p>It would be nice if:<br />1. it would retain the current file-type across multiple save operations<br />2. there was an option in the preferences dialog to set a default that would be persistent on closing/reopening the app</p> NDArchive - Feature #264 (New): Add iconhttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2642021-09-25T12:51:16ZSophia Dellenbaugh
<p>Add custom icon for extension.</p> NDArchive - Feature #263 (New): Dynamic content script injectionhttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2632021-09-25T12:49:52ZSophia Dellenbaugh
<p>Inject content scripts dynamically when popup activated rather than always y default, for performance improvement.</p> NDArchive - Feature #262 (New): Popup fixeshttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2622021-09-25T12:48:36ZSophia Dellenbaugh
<p>Add CSS to popup to improve appearance, and make it less flickery by not removing an re-adding things that haven't changed.</p> NDArchive - Feature #261 (New): README and Makefile improvementshttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2612021-09-25T12:46:27ZSophia Dellenbaugh
<p>Add readme file explaining dependencies and build process, and include signing step in makefile.</p> WorkFerret - Bug #249 (New): Adding new session to existing invoice sets total incorrectlyhttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2492020-03-26T16:19:21ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>Adding sessions to an existing invoice sets the invoice's total to the session total. Also, there should be a "recalculate" button for the invoice total.</p> WorkFerret - Feature #247 (New): ability to sort newest-firsthttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2472020-03-08T17:46:48ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>This would help with data entry, because we're usually from oldest to newest which means that after a lot of entries, the last thing we entered is now at the bottom of the page -- and it would be nice to be able to see it right after entering it.</p> WorkFerret - Feature #246 (New): session daily totals are... confusinghttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2462020-03-07T18:56:15ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>The totals <a href="https://hypertwins.net/page:wfproj/id:26/" class="external">here</a> are completely wrong, and I can't even tell what they might be derived from.</p>
<p>CORRECTION: They're (probably) not wrong; it's just confusing because the totals are shown by day, but the <em>running</em> totals are across all sessions.</p>
<p>We probably should have running balances for daily totals too (maybe monthly and yearly?). User should probably be able to select which subtotals they want to see, to reduce unwanted clutter.</p> WorkFerret - Bug #245 (New): [Save] button for single-session editing is way off to the lefthttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2452020-03-07T17:41:51ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>put it inside the table, somehow; maybe center it there, too</p> WorkFerret - Feature #244 (New): data entry ergonomics: remember last date enteredhttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2442020-03-07T17:35:57ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>Instead of always defaulting to the current date/time, default to the last date entered in the current session.</p> WorkFerret - Feature #243 (New): "NEW" link should be more prominenthttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2432020-03-07T17:11:42ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>Make it larger or something. It could even be a button.</p>
<p>ACTUALLY: what might work better is for "NEW" to be a persistent toggle, so that another entry-blank appears automatically after you've submitted the last one. I think I like that better.</p> WorkFerret - Feature #242 (New): strip off dollar sign from dollar figureshttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2422020-03-07T17:10:28ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
<p>I haven't actually checked, so this might already be taken care of -- but really, the code should strip out anything that isn't {numeric | decimal-point | minus-sign} and accept whatever is left, unless it's clearly malformatted (more than one decimal).</p>
<p>Ultimately, would be nice to allow basic arithmetic ops as well.</p> Redmine - Bug #240 (New): incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIThttps://rm.vbz.net/issues/2402020-02-13T14:21:31ZWoozle Hypertwinredmine@wooz.dev
