Does the issue still happen in the latest experimental builds here? https://github.com/hexomancer/sioyek/releases/tag/v0.31.431

[Aneeqasif]

yes the version u shared works well but there is also an issue that in this issue to table of content view look very outdated and not much polished desing while the toc selector in the version that i have (with pixelated text) has much more polished ui. please address this in a version that solve both issues

version with good text rendering but bad ui of toc

verion with pixelated text rendering but with alot more polished and modern toc ui

[ahrm]

There is no code change for table of contents rendering, so if it is changed between versions either it has changed because of changes in Qt (which I can't do anything about), or because of your configs.

[Aneeqasif]

right so which verion should i used the forked one or from ahrm/sioyek repo , shouldnt the pixelated issue be resolved in orignal sioyek verion ?

[Aneeqasif]

as the version u suggested in 5 comits behind so it might be missing some functionality from official verion

Probably the forked version. This issue will be fixed when we do a new release. At this point version 2.0.0 is a couple of months old so it is way more than 5 commits behind.

i tried buliding the orignal verion following the build instructions , and then run sioyek from build directory it ran perfectly as expected without any issue, but i dont know how to properly install it in system , i did sudo make install but when i try to run sioyek from m y menu system in kde sioyek doesnot run properly and it was not responding, then i ran $which sioyek and then /usr/bin/sioyek it showed same response as it open it from menu system some errors was on terminal like cannot find /usr/bin/shaders etc so , i have successfully build the orignal version that ran find but please help to properly install it system wide

[ahrm]

You can just create a symlink from /usr/bin to sioyek's executable.

[Aneeqasif]

right , but isnt there any proper way to do it for system wide installation

[ahrm]

That is the proper way.

[Aneeqasif]

That is the proper way.

ok so i tried this but one thing is not working that is cross document portal steps to i did open 2 docs press p on one doc press p again on other document then went back to first document and press f12 the portal didnt open in the showing part from 2nd doc in helper window (that remian blank black)

it worked just fine if i create a portal within same document

• secondly i have added startup_commands toggle_statusbar in config and it hide the status bar of the first document that i open but whenever a new sioyek window is opened the statusbar is not toggled off

[ahrm]

Can't reproduce either of these issues. Do they occur with the build of latest commits here: https://github.com/hexomancer/sioyek/releases/tag/v0.31.432 ?

[Aneeqasif]

no i have tested it on version v0.31.431 that u suggested in previous comment

demo of statusbar toggle issue on startup and the portals issue in cross doc portal

[Aneeqasif]

as u can see when i open 2 pdfs there was no statusbar on first one as expected and set in config, but in 2nd pdf the statusbar is there which shouldnt be there (then i toggled back the statusbar in 1st pdf with set keybind A-o to make both look same) and secondly i cannot create a portal from other pdf in first pdf

Which command does open with sioyek execute?

[Aneeqasif]

Which command does open with sioyek execute?

it is opened by desktop file in which use /usr/bin/sioyek which is symlinked to the executable thats in build folder i have also tested it with the full direct path of the binary that i built

[Aneeqasif]

should i try it on virtual machine to further investigate?

[ahrm]

Can you share the desktop file here?

you can see the desktop file in above comment

[ahrm]

The desktop file looks okay, unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the statusbar issue. Note that the portal issue is not really a bug, we don't have the ability to link between different sioyek windows yet, so if you want to create a portal to another document you have to use the same sioyek window to open the second document (I understand creating portals between windows is a useful feature and I will probably add it in the future.).

[Aneeqasif]

thanks for responding i really appreciate your time and effort

[ahrm]

Added the ability to create portals between windows in c8a532acbf87b57b9e58ec3367071db49dbb0433.

[Aneeqasif]
