hi developers! thanks for your excellent work! i have 2 questions :

i guess there is some bugs about the newest 0.7.1 ver., actually when i use it with windows, it did nothing at alll; however when i use 0.7.0 it works.
i'd like to redeveloped it with an ocr api. would you kindly tell me how may i where i should modify it ?

0.7.1 had an important bug using Zotero7, 0.7.2 is intended to fix that.

If you want to redesign the plugin around a different OCR engine, especially using an API instead of calling external programs as zotero-ocr is currently doing, I think you will need to modify almost everything. Most of the code deals with calling the external tools pdftoppmand tesseract in the proper sequence and using the proper parameters, and the preferences are quite specific to these tools.

yesss, you are right about changing everything. i guess it's a lot of work.

however, the bug i described happens on Zotero6. sorry that i'm that specific enough before.

Can you post screenshots of your Zotero-OCR preferences and the folder for the Zotero item?
