zathura - a document viewer

There's a typo in the manual:

Hello,

We now have implemented all features which were available in the latest stable release for the new version (in the develop branch of the git repository). We are happy to announce that we have no reached a state where the develop version should be suitable for daily usage.

Even though we still lack some documentation (see http://doc.pwmt.org) it would be great if you could give it a shot and give us useful feedback.

Best regards

This is definitely good news, thank you very much! Is there any way we could help out with the documentation?

By the way, there is a pdf file which gives me some issues. It reads fine with mupdf, but I haven't tried with an older zathura revision yet. Here is the output:

$zathura all_topologies_come_from_generalized_metrics.pdf 
info: successfully loaded plugin /usr/lib/zathura/ps.so
info: successfully loaded plugin /usr/lib/zathura/djvu.so
info: successfully loaded plugin /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so

| pdf/pdf_interpret.c:1432: pdf_run_Do(): cannot load image (61 0 R)
\ pdf/pdf_interpret.c:2029: pdf_run_keyword(): cannot draw xobject/image

What happens is that it stops loading new pages at some point (for lack of memory, it seems). Could this be due to the temporary fix for my previous issue?

I can't seem to read ps files -- the djvu and mupdf plugins are working fine, but when I try to open a ps file, I get "error: Could not open document." I've tried this on 3 separate ps files so far, and none work.

Also, the "autoreload file on change" seems to lose its position when it reloads -- it jumps the top of the previous page, it seems.

Fixed.

cool. one other bug: with pages-per-row = 2, "K" (going up a page, or more accurately, 2 pages in this case) does not work properly. if it is in the middle of a page, then it moves to the top of the page, but if it is already at the top of a page, it does nothing. "J" however works fine.

This recent git commit has zathura immediately crash with a segfault if I use "set pages-per-row" with any number in zathurarc.

With mupdf backend, searching for text with / does nothing.

Is it possible to set default zoom level to fit to width?

mlq · 2012-02-14 19:44:50

Hello,

Not every functionality has been implemented in each plugin yet besides zathura-pdf-poppler.

Put the following line in your zathurarc:

set adjust-open width

Thanks.

Another thing, I want to map F1 to one page and F2 to two pages per row:

map <F1> set pages-per-row 1
map <F2> set pages-per-row 2

But after press F1 or F2 it only shows on the bottom:

pages-per-row: 1

mlq · 2012-02-14 20:57:02

Hello,

Change it to:

map <F1> set "pages-per-row 1"
map <F2> set "pages-per-row 2"

Best regards

I have another issue. When the opened file changes, it should reload, but instead it closes.

misc · 2012-02-19 23:58:58

It would be nice to have a way for :open to work relative to the path of the file passed as argument, instead of to $PWD.

Also, an alternative to tab for completion that only circled through the documents of the chosen directory would be great — and having tab not list hidden folders.

Cosmetics: If one tab completes e. g. ":open /mn", zathura adds a leading /, i. e. ":open //mnt/".

"scroll full-[up/down]" is off by a pixel for each step (not adding page-padding, perhaps?); "navigate previous" continues to fail at certain points.

e: Submitted to bugtracker.

Hello,

It would be nice if you all could fill in those bugs and feature requests on the bug tracker. This would make things much easier for us.

Best regards

Hello,

Finally we are able to release the first stable version of zathura which is built upon girara and gives us the possibility to view other document types besides PDF. We have to admit that it took us quite some time to finish this release, but we think that it was worth it. In addition we have released the first stable version of the poppler plugin.

Best regards

Wow, congratulations!!! Also the documentation is very good. I only get a problem when building on Slackware 13.37. It says that it couldn't find the zathura.desktop file - Well, it's just a minor issue....

Thanks for letting me know; I repackaged the zathura-0.1.0.tar.gz file since we forgot to include the file in the dist target. Please redownload it and you should be fine.

Best regards

gorilla · 2012-02-22 11:45:53

You are welcome!
It works now. :-)

When I print some document that has smaller page size than A4, it is always placed in the top-left corner. Is it possible to print it to center?

I'm trying to get zathura working with tabbed, but unfortunately I have no experience at all with tabbed. I've managed to open a zathura window in tabbed by first running tabbed, getting the xid, and then running zathura -e followed by the xid. (This should be easily scriptable...I'm just trying to get the basics first.)

However, once I have zathura running in tabbed, none of the zathura keybindings work. Is this something I need to configure on the tabbed end? Any help would be appreciated.

A recent git commit has compilation abort with:

edit: It's fixed.

Hello,

Is your zathura installation up-to-date?
