zathura - a PDF viewer

sironitomas · 2010-12-29 23:51:47

I have a query. Would it be possible to embed zathura in a browser like chromium or firefox?

That would be neat.

Well it would be cool if this could be done with jumanji.

This is a cool application! When I view a page in full width and I switch to the next page, I see a black flash. Is this a known issue?

Hi cbruno!

The command :w (for :write) does the job you want... provided you append to it the path and file name you want. For example to save the current file in your home directory with name foo.pdf:

:w ~/foo.pdf

Note that if a file foo.pdf already exists in this directory, it will be overwritten without warning.

Best regards to all of you, and happy new year!
LuX.

Why would you want to do this? It will be like a taco inside taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream!

Yes, this happens because no pages are cached in zathura, but this will be resolved with a new version of zathura.

Concerning the other issues please fill in a bug report in our bug tracker.

Best regards

pwmt.org seems to be down, any other way to get the latest source?

I have two suggestions about zathura, one being caching (like evince does, seems to be planned anyway, see post #431), one being to hide the commandbar unless ":" is pressed.
This way one gains more vertical space which would be nice given that most notebook screens are 16:10 these days.

Also, activating links to references or websites with the mouse would be convenient

When the sources become available again I will try my best about this.

Regards

I'm using the version from community, and I'm having some problems using bookmarks in zathura. I bookmark using :bmark a and when I do a :blist [tab] I see the bookmark, I then check the file ~.local/share/zathura/bookmarks after having closed zathura and I see the bookmark there.

When I open the same file again and do a :blist [tab] I see stuff like Monospace Sans and sometimes just weird symbols. Am I doing anything wrong and has anyone seen something like this? I use awesome on i686 arch.

Apart from this I love Zathura, it's very fast and works great in combination with my latex editing in Winefish.

Hello barzam !

I do have the same problem with bookmarks. I never used it before but tried after your post.

1) I opened a file A.pdf, and bookmarked pages 10 and 19 with name 'aze' and 'qsd' respectively.

2) Then I opened another file B.pdf without quiting zathura, and bookmarked page 4 with name 'wxc'.

3) Using :blist let me see the list of these three bookmarks and to navigate between the two files without problem.

4) I quited zathura. When I came back to A.pdf :blist now displayed two entries named 'Sans' and 'A.pdf'.

5) The file ~.local/share/zathura/bookmarks now contains the following entries (with the blank lines as indicated):

[my-home-path/A.pdf]
page=18
offset=0

aze=9
qsd=18

Sans=9
anacomp.pdf=18

And further:

[my-home-path/B.pdf]
page=18
offset=0
aze=9
qsd=18
wxc=3

The more I quit and come back to A.pdf and B.pdf with zathura, without changing anything, the more complicated and absurd becomes the list of bookmarks. Now it contains:

[my-home-path/B.pdf]
page=18
offset=0
aze=9
qsd=18
wxc=3
F44=18
Sans=9
8<89>g  <B8>b`  ^P=9
^X^]C   0=18

I suggest you to report a bug!

Best regards,
LuX.

Thanks for confirming, LuX. I checked and my files behave similarly.

I'll make a bug report as soon as I have some spare time!

LuX · 2011-01-21 16:22:12

You're welcome, barzam. I do like Zathura and it's my pleasure to test it. Thank you for pointing out this bug!

You can take your time to report this bug. Indeed, the site pwmt.org is unreachable at the moment except it's home page, because as they say: "We are moving to a new server and this will need some time."

Regards,
LuX.

Check the girara branch for that. - At the moment I have no access to the server, so all of you - just wait

Hello!

I feel very stupid, I cant find config.h.....
I install with pacman 0.0.8.2-3 from community-testing.
It works great with all keybindings, but I want to configure it.

regards

mhertz · 2011-02-03 00:45:17

config.h is a source file, which you don't have since you've installed the compiled binary package with pacman.

Anyway, you can configure zathure in two ways; config.h or ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc.

To check out the options available for the zathurarc file, then you can download the sources with: git clone git://pwmt.org/zathura.git zathura

(Needs git obviously and the file to check for options is config.def.h...)

alterecco · 2011-02-03 00:55:44

you need to recompile from source to be able to modify the config.h file.

tries to remember to refresh before posting obvious answers

I'm trying to install zathura in my Arch box, but the package seems to be broken.. The installation processes terminates with this error message:
"gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open file usr/share/icons/hicolor/.icon-theme.cache: No such file
erro: command failed to execute correctly

Hello,

I just wanted to mention that pwmt.org is not going to be dead, only inactive for several weeks since I will not be around in that time.

In the mean time we have setup a new bug tracker which is available under http://bt.pwmt.org (I still have the old issues of the redmine tracker, but I have not found the time to move them - But they will not be forgotten for the future development). In addition I have setup mailing lists where you can subscripe through http://lists.pwmt.org. After my absence there will be a new website containing more information and documentation about the projects.

Best regards and see you soon!

Question about printing. I found a post HERE where some options are presented when passing the :print command, but I can't find any reference to where such commands are listed. It looks kind of like pdftk notation? What should I be looking for to understand this command and any other possible options -- 'man zathura' only discusses the general 'print' command, not what options and controls are available?

Lastly, is the "printer" name just whatever I've called my printers via cups?

Thanks.

I just want to say i love this app. Zathura is exactly what Ive been looking for.

Now we just need something similar to read other formats (epub, dvju, etc..)

It seems the options for reading such formats in linux are extremely limited.

You have calibre, but still... The options are very limited. zathura reading those formats would just be the perfect program for my 4:5 screen!

Really awesome pdf viewer.
