So that when documents change properties, they don't get shown anymore if the filter doesn't match them.

Hey, I'm trying to add some new files into my paperless instance via the app.

After using the plus button, I'm not seeing the document added. Am I using it wrong in some way?

Please see repro attached

Currently the all forces the requests to use https. For installations on the local network that might not be feasible, so http should be an option (but should be explicit).

Hello, I have an issue with the Swift Paperless app on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the app doesn't seem to pull any data from my paperless-ngx installation. Logging in appears to work seamlessly with no error messages or anything of the sort. However, I can neither upload a file nor see anything stored in my paperless instance.

Everything is just empty. What can I do to solve this problem? I also tried the PaperParrot app as an alternative, and it worked with the same data without any issues.

It can be great to support and show owners, groups and customers fields in whole app ;)
Thanks !

In the document context menu and via share icon from the document itself.

It's currently not possible to log in to a Paperless-ngx server behind a reverse-proxy login mechanism like Authelia or Authentik.

Possible solutions could be:

1. One possible workaround is disabling the login checks for the /api and allow the app to retrieve and use a token bypassing the login service.
2. The Less Paper app uses a method that detects redirects, presents a web view, waits for a login and subsequent login back to Paperless-ngx, and captures cookies in the process. The stored cookies then allow the app to communicate with the /api endpoint. This has the possible caveat of requiring the app to throw up a web view where the app has full access to the web content. I'm looking to support this in an opt-in rather than on-by-default way.

Please chime in if I missed anything!

• Setting to select saved view that presents as Badge count
  • requires API method to get just the count not all the documents
  • can maybe update in the background?

So far the best app for paperless. Very good work.

But there is one thing I don’t like. If I edit a document, I only see the document in the background. So I cannot check for example the date on the document.

It would be nice if I can edit the details in the document view and don’t need the popup.

Hey Paul,

Hope you're doing well!
I've been using Swift-Paperless and thought it's a great fit for the Paperless-ngx 'Affiliated Projects' list (https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/Affiliated-Projects).

I believe adding your project there could help more users discover it and benefit from what you offer.
It seems like a win-win for both communities.

What do you think?
If you're on board with the idea, I'm happy to help out and try to get it added.

Cheers,
Michael

I am currently facing a challenge with importing images into the paperless system. Specifically, some of my receipts are only available in PNG format due to the export behavior of the LIDL app in my case.

Feature Requests:

1. Support for JPG/PNG Import:
Details: Modify the image import functionality to support image formats, considering cases where receipts are exported as JPG or PNG instead of PDF by certain apps like LIDL.

2. Camera Roll Access:
Details: Introduce a feature that allows direct access to the device's camera roll within the paperless app. This enhancement would enhance user convenience, making it easier to import images directly from the camera roll.

3. Integration with Photos App:
Details: Enable a seamless integration with the Photos app by implementing a share function. This would facilitate the direct sharing of images from the Photos app to the paperless system.

Context:
I really appreciate the paperless app and use it regularly as it has proven to be the best paperless app I've tried by far. Despite this, I believe that these enhancements would significantly improve the overall user experience by addressing the challenges associated with specific image formats and streamlining the import process from the camera roll.

Note:
This issue is being raised to suggest improvements in the image import functionality and the user interface for better compatibility with various receipt formats and enhanced convenience.

Hey, thank you a lot for creating the app. Works very well for me. ❤️
I have sorted a few documents in the last days and wanted to propose a little change.

When editing a document and changing something like the document type where only one option can be selected I would like the UI automatically use my selection (as it already does) and then also do the "back" step for me, where I have to tap once to get back to the edit view. This also applies to the correspondant but of course not for something like tags.

It will be nice to have others views for items like list, mini-square and detailed (actually).
Thanks !

Something about the scroll view, pull to refresh is on somehow

I have been trying to use the app but login was not working. I finally got the code and it looks like the application does not handle when paperless is deployed to an application path.

I have paperless deployed at a URL like (behind nginx):
https://myhome.myserver.com/paperless

In going through the login code I noticed the /paperless was being stripped so when the app tried to make API calls they were going to https://myhome.myserver.com/api rather than https://myhome.myserver.com/paperless/api. I modified the login deriveUrl function so components.path += "/api/" + suffix and that allowed the login to work but then other API calls appear to be failing. I'll look around for more places to modify in a similar manner but I wasn't sure if that was the "right" solution.

Thank you for all your hard work on this app!

This is a rather odd one. When creating a new tag or correspondent in the app, it appears to assign a "blank" owner (you can clear this later via the web app).

This causes grief when attempting to view documents with another user account.

For example, the app could receive documents to upload them. This would for instance allow connecting to a VPN like tailscale before triggering the upload.

Hi! Awesome app, thanks for the effort!

I’d like to translate to Polish language, can you please add stub translations to the xcstrings?
Once you do it I can use the Localizator app to translate.
Or, if there is another process defined I please point me to it and I’ll follow it :)

Right now the app requires to put in a valid public API URL, username and password to get an auth token.

If at all possible it would be nicer if the app could simply throw up a browser window with the login URL, the user logs in and the app fetches the token from a redirect.

Seems like it's SwiftUI not me.

Firstly, amazing app does pretty much everything I need and beautifully presented.

One issue I have is if adding ASN to a document and clicking the +1 I just get 1 rather than the next increment.

Thanks.

The app should allow configuring extra headers that are sent with all API requests. This needs to be configurable before logging in, since it might be needed for obtaining a token.

This might be useful for an installation behind CloudFlare tunnel

See

• paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx#3283 (comment)

I have an issue though once I set up authentication on my Cloudflare tunnel Eg One time PIN, the app will not work.

I check ur GitHub and the solution seemed to be using "Custom Header with API requests" (#11)

But I am not sure how to set it up in the Extra Headers.

I tried setting up two headers
CF-Access-Client-Id: xxxx
CF-Access-Client-Secret: xxxx

But still does not work.

Any advice on how to set up the app to work even with One Time Pin authentication

I am not able to login into your app. Neither on iPhone (17.0.3) nor on Mac (14.0). Unfortunately I don't get any more feedback than the white cross in the red bubble on the login button. The Path is accepted (green bubble) and I am really sure the Username and the password fits. I run Paperless-ngx (1.17.4) via docker on an unraid server. The login attempt does not appear in the Paperless logs.

Is there a way I can give you more data for analysis or a specific config I have to enable?

Thanks for your help

Is it possible to accept an access token directly instead of a username and password?

This would allow the app to work with the following Paperless setup, which I use:

• Authelia used to manage access to Paperless
• Nginx used as a reverse proxy with the auth_request module configured to use Authelia to authorize requests
• Paperless configured with PAPERLESS_ENABLE_HTTP_REMOTE_USER=true and PAPERLESS_HTTP_REMOTE_USER_HEADER_NAME set to the header configured in Authelia. In my case the default HTTP_REMOTE_USER value
• Nginx configured to bypass Authelia for Paperless /api endpoints

With this setup, it means that:

• User accounts are centralised behind Authelia's user store (in my case a local LDAP server)
• User accounts in Paperless are created automatically on first access
• Paperless accounts don't have a password set
• To access the Paperless API, we can use Django's Admin interface and create a token in admin/authtoken/tokenproxy/ for an existing user

I see the app already allows to add custom headers but at the moment, even if we manually create an Authorization: Token xxxx header, the login flow is still there.

managing notes via app would be great

In my initial setup, upload of larger files failed. The error (Failed to create Document) message was not specific enough, so I had to dig into my nginx server logs.

The http reponse was 413 - content too large. It would be cool if the http error code would be displayed in die error message.

I am not a swift deveoper, nor can test any change. :-(, but I enjoy the app.

I solved the issue by configuring my nginx reverse proxy accordingly.

Like 192.168.0.55:8080/paperless

On swift-paperless version 1.0.1, the editing of matching patterns for non-automatic matching algorithms is not possible. The creation of new, e.g. document types, with a custom (any) matching pattern is however possible.

Steps to reproduce:

• on the webserver create a new document type with allocation algorithm Any and set the matching pattern to any word
• go to the app and try to change the matching pattern words
• matching pattern words will not show up

Info: I have only tried this for document types with the matching algorithm any. But I assume that this is a generic implementation and thus applies to other allocation algorithms as well.

Current Workaround:
To get the input field for a custom matching pattern, you have to set the algorithm to something else, then change it back to your desired matching algorithm. Then the matching pattern input field will show up and contain your previously set words.

Editing not possible:

Creation of a new document type with matching Any is working with match input:

First of all: I'm not sure if this is a problem with the app or with Paperless-ngx, but the permissions of the documents are not taken into account when they are displayed in the app.

If I log in with my normal user without admin rights, who should only have access to his documents, I am still shown documents that are explicitly assigned to only one other person as the owner. Everything is displayed correctly in the browser.

Is this a bug within the app or should I also open an issue with Paperless-ngx because the rights are apparently not assigned so robustly that the behavior can occur?

Addendum: The whole thing occurs under iOS 17.3.1, both under the last stable version and in the version currently published by TestFlight.

@shamoon: FYI

Hi, I noticed that when I upload I see the upload status on the right side for a few seconds and then it disappears If there is an error I don't get any info about it only if I login to the ui of paperless then I see that is a problem with the upload of the file....

if we able to get info about the upload it we be great

Version 1.0.22 on iOS 17.2.1 with paperless-ngx 2.2.1

steps to reproduce:

• create a first document
• press Asn „+1“ button
• Asn 1 is correctly assigned
• Save document
• Create new document
• Press asn „+1“ button
• Asn 1 is assigned

expected behavior: asn is correctly incremented to „2“

Please support the import of Files direct from the camera. So when you click the + you can choose "Camera", take the foto und it will be uploaded automaticly.

Hi, I was using the app today with iPad Pro 11 and when I tried to upload a file to the app through the share menu the save button wasn’t there and the other field was unusable
See screenshot
Don’t know if this is a problem with iPadOS or the app and don’t know if this problem is with the screen size or because I use a language that is RTL (Heb)

Hi there,

I noticed, that if you have some views saved, they will simply disappear.
You can still create new ones and save it, but they won't be displayed.

One the webpage you can still see them, but not in the app.

Seems like maybe the global load all fails and it only loads the ones it requests?

I keep some pretty private data in paperless. Currently the app just allows unlimited access to those documents. Can we enforce (maybe configurable) checks via the devices PIN Code / Face-ID?

Good morning,
It would be interesting to be able to scan a document directly from the application.
I don't know if this is possible but you would have to use the same function as in the file application.
In any case, congratulations for the rest of the application which is very beautiful and intuitive.
Best wishes
