zathura - a PDF viewer

archman-cro · 2011-02-25 15:41:51

Can I somehow get rid of this flickering every time I change the page?
Zathura is really nice.

edit: nvm, it's because the page needs some time to load, and the defaultbg_color is 'black' so it looks like it's flickering. Cheers!

Is it possible to place a statusbar on top of the screen or is it hardcoded?

Would be awesome to have an image viewer like that, with the same look.

Nicely done.

I'm going to bump my question, asked two weeks ago HERE. Could anyone share where the custom printing commands are listed? My previous post contains a link to another post where instructions are given for a complex printing task (printing odd pages only or something). In my searching, I can't find any reference to the acceptable options to pass with the :print command.

Are they the same as pdftk options? Something else I just don't know? Thanks for any suggestions. If the options are from some other library, perhaps the man page could say something like, "For print options, see x."

Thanks

zathura uses the lp command for printing the files. You should find the information needed with "man lp". I know that zathura as well as jumanji lacks a bit of documentation which I want to change with the new release in the future.

Best regards

@neldoreth: perfect. I wondered if there was some other command being used, but couldn't find it in the zathura man pages. Thanks for the response -- great work on all your programs!

Hi neldoreth

I have two small patches, they worke for me, but I am not an expert
The first is useful, for scripting. You can get open pdfs with something like xprop | grep _URI. The second is just for people with small screens.

I don't know where to put the atom_uri variable. You may have to clean this.

Maybe it would be cool to have an option for a tiny status bar, but I'm fine with patching.

regards

Would it be hard to implement showing two A4 (LTR, whatever) pages side-by-side? Switching to one page mode if A3 (or double-width LTR) would be a bonus. Basically, the idea is to fill 16:10 screen.
While the concept behind zathura is nice, it is quite useless right now for reading datasheets, manuals, books, and >50% of other documents.

I have just filled a feature request for that. For me it is the only feature which I miss in zathura.
Everything else is just perfect. Especially, the speed and and robustness.
Thanks for such a great app.

Hello,

this is a really nice application. Great work!
The only thing which annoyed me a little bit is this: When opening an encrypted pdf I have to put the cursor into the password input line. It would be very handy if it would be there automatically and I could immediatly start typing in the password. It's just a minor issue but maybe easy to implement!?
Anyways, keep it up!

Regards

jwhendy · 2011-03-11 20:52:14

I just added a feature request for a :help command in the program itself. I have to open 'man zathura' in a terminal to look for particular commands. A 1/4 screen (or more) popup with the commands might be nice. Or whatever -- I'm sure there are several ways to implement it -- perhaps a full shift to the man page from within zathura just like the flash to file properties screen. Then press Esc. when done to return to the document?

Just some ideas.
