atgreen / paperless Goto Github PK

I have two idea's for new features:

1. Integration of pdfgrep
   Integrate search with pdfgrep (if installed) to search directly in the scan and root directory, I use the iphone app quickscan for getting my documents digital, which does automatic ocr integration, so most of my pdf's are text searchable, which is quite nice, if I search for an invoice of a special company.

2. It would be cool, if one could choose some kind of profile, eg I use paperles for both, company documents and private documents, so I could easily setup different default folders.

But nevertheless, really super useful tool!

Any idea whats is this about?
I'm using Emacs 25 with pdf-tools; I only see this error when previewing PDF from paperless;

Warning (undo): Buffer ‘*Paperless Preview*’ undo info was 20193254 bytes long.
The undo info was discarded because it exceeded `undo-outer-limit'.

This is normal if you executed a command that made a huge change
to the buffer.  In that case, to prevent similar problems in the
future, set `undo-outer-limit' to a value that is large enough to
cover the maximum size of normal changes you expect a single
command to make, but not so large that it might exceed the
maximum memory allotted to Emacs.

If you did not execute any such command, the situation is
probably due to a bug and you should report it.

You can disable the popping up of this buffer by adding the entry
(undo discard-info) to the user option `warning-suppress-types',
which is defined in the `warnings' library.

I am trying out paperless and like the simple way it works, thank you :)

I was wondering if there is a way to combine two scans into one in paperless and then rename/file it.

I was looking for the option in PDF-Tools but couldn't find anything. Any idea?

It would be handy to delete pdfs in the paperless view with the 'd' command and then execute it via 'x'.

There is an error in the last version,

in the code at line 80, there should be instead of "./" paperless-capture-directory, otherwise no files will be listed in the paperless window

Really cool package!

Say you want to file to a/b/c/foo.pdf, but that file already exists. paperless does not recover well from that situation. As a work around, just run M-x paperless again and start from scratch. Ideally it would still fail, but remove the files that it managed to copy from the list.

As I'm filing documents, it would be great to org-capture with link to the target location. This would allow users to easily create TODO actions on documents they file.

Is it possible to configure the pdf-viewer to pdf-view-mode provided by pdf-tools?

I noticed some of my own homegrown packages still using ido after switching to counsel / ivy. It's pretty nice to have the completion system be uniform. In my case I could just skip the ido- prefix and ivy-mode started working as per the docs (https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper):

ivy-mode ensures that any Emacs command using completing-read-function uses ivy for completion.

Perhaps paperless could go with completing-read for it's default as well, or make it customizable? Just a thought.

Hi,
Thx for this tools, it's a great idea, i use dired with tags from bookmark+, i think your tools can replace my workflow to organize documents.

can you think it is possible to expand to other file format like odt, jpg, etc ? and add tag ? then it can be to have less of directory and sub directory and more possibility of categorization and search ?

thx.

Paperless is almost everything I wanted. There's only one problem: It doesn't let me use spaces when renaming.

I store all my files as something like "2017-11 bank statement.pdf".

I'm kinda new to Emacs, so maybe it's something I have to set up somewhere else?

Hello, people!

I was using paperless yesterday, and I find that small bug: it refused to "move to trash" the files marked for deletion

Maybe this is because of these two lines here:

Great idea! are you planning to add to Melpa?

thx for all your work
