compress-pdf's Issues

No error message display

In case the program encounters an error and cannot complete the operation, the end user should be informed that the program didn't work.

And error message should be displayed and the users should be encouraged to open a bug report by providing a link to our repository.

Files don't show up in KDE Neon

When I tried to find the files by pressing the button, nothing showed up in any of of my folders. I even tried dragging and dropping but that also didn't worked. At the end, I typed the named of the file and hit entered and then it worked.

Distro: KDE Neon latest version

Compressed files are some times bigger in size then original

In some cases, the compressed output file is bigger in size then the original file itself.

This mus not happen as it fails the entire point of compression.

won't start in ubuntu 18.04

console shows this error message

[6052] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIlON42o/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIlON42o/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

Feature request - Multi file selection

Hi,
Thanks for making the tool available to us.

I have noticed that it is not possible to select multiple files at once .
Could you add this feature?
Once a moth I have to scan tons of paper invoices (at 100dpi) and it would be nice to compress all of them in a shot

Cheers
Palmer

Some improvement suggestions

Thank you for making this tool! :-) Some suggestions:

Remember input directory
Allow saving to a different directory
Success could me just a message in the main window. User shouldn't need to make extra click after all went OK. And success window has no OK button.
Add info how to run it from the source code. Typical location is in README or INSTALL file.
Add installation option (python setup.py)
Move from bash script to python. bash is not common everywhere, python is.
Use consistent file naming (currently: underscores, dashes, camel style)
Use python code quality checker like "black" or "pep8"
Move images to a subdirectory with resources - it will look cleaner.
Allow selection of files with different extension that pdf. pdf is not always pdf :-)
Capture errors from ghostscript. Right now if provided file is not pdf, but has pdf extension user is served with success message even when ghostscript shows error with exit status 1

Does not integrate via AppImageLauncher

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and the compressor works fine. I tried to integrate it via AppImageLauncher (ver. 2.2.0) but get an error message when doing so "pdf compress Fehler beim Registrieren des AppImages im System via libappimage" (transl: pdf compress error when registering the AppImage in the system via libappimage).

Does this have something to do with AppImageLauncher or with your appimage package?

it doesn't start in debian 10

crashes on Fedora when using file selector button

`

Success Message

At the moment, there is no way for the user to know if the files were compressed or not. There should be a message saying that the compression was successful.

As a future improvements, we can show the compression results on the end screen displaying the initial file size and the output file size and the percentage of compression achieved.

Problem with spaces in filename

If the input filename has spaces in it, the program doesn't work. On the command line, it gives the following error:

`Gtk-Message: 19:02:40.989: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Error: /undefinedfilename in (BT)
Operand stack:

Compressed output file should be generated in the same directory as input file

It would be nice to generate the output file in the same directory as the input file.

Users won't have to look for the compressed file elsewhere and they can see and compare the file size.

"error loading python lib" & better handling of file names

The AppImage fails to start with the following error:

[14775] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIMpqDRQ/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIMpqDRQ/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

Also, if you name the file with quote pairs, it'll fail to address the file. If I find any other issues, I'll append them here.

Add screenshot

I suggest to add a screenshot of the application to the main readme.
This eases user adoption and is a common element found in program readmes.

Buggy on Manjaro Stable

Thanks for this small app. On Manjaro Stable I get this error:

It works if I just "run" the appimage without integrating it into the system. But once I run it, and I try to open a file, the app crashes.

Ιnvalid compression for an unselected file

If you choose to cancel if the file is pressed, it will be blank as a file and allow compression without a file

Won't start on Mint 19.3

I have downloaded in from this site but am not able to get it to run on mint 19.3

Here are the errors

[5040] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIMS58e6/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIMS58e6/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

It seems to be related to GLIBC_2.29, while Mint 19.3 has Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1.

If I download the source code, I can get it to run by calling in the terminal. So maybe it has to do with how it was packaged?

Update requested for Ubuntu 22.04

The packaged libstdc++.so.6 is incompatible with /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1. GLIBCXX is only up to GLIBCXX_3.4.28 in the appimage, but /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1 seems to require 29 (at least).

I suppose if the Appimage offered an option to use system libraries, instead of packaged ones, it might work, but that would go against the Appimage concept...??

The effect is that you can't load files for compression.

I have been using the application on Ubuntu 22.04, and would like to continue to do so, but I do understand that this is a side-project, and not high priority.

Death to you ItsFOSSgarbage web losers.

Death to you ItsFOSS monkeys, you cheap loser shills. Death to you for letting that idiot use that disgusting 2 letter racist stupid "title" before his first/surname [on that trashy PPA post].

Death to you for being such a stupid slave and openly promoting morons who use that disgusting & racist & childish ego "title". Death to you for promoting those stupid childish ego pigs which you openly promote with those silly & disgusting "titles". Death to you ItsFOSSgarbage web losers.

You're website is utter trash and run by donkeys.
Death to you and death to the garbage and useless so called "health" "sector", and every moron who supports that garbage. You're all nothing but worthless slaves. You have no potential, and are a complete and utter laughable failure. Also death to you for making a intro repo for that "ascii" trash program. Death to every moron who uses that disgusting racist & clownish 3 letter word after "ascii". Death to every idiot who uses the stupid 2-letter "titles" when mentioning first names. Death to "universities" [DUMPSTERversities]. Death to open source.
Death to you ItsFOSS linux clowns. Have a sad life and painful death, losers.

Mechanical Engineering is the ONLY Engineering, period.

Hopefully that loser who used that disgusting 2 letter word before his first/surname will get his throat slit. Burn in agony losers.

Manjaro crashes without error

It appears on the latest version of Manjaro (xfce), this app crashes when I click the file open button:

Linux packaging

This is not an issue but a feature request.

We should package this software. I suggest AppImage because that's the most suitable format for this small app.

Create new logo and improve the text and images for the application

Add a Progress Bar

Please add a progress bar as no indication of what's happening makes me feel it's not working but in fact it was happening in background until a Task Completion Dialog Box appeared.

Compressing same file again replaces the previous compressed file

I was trying to look at the output of compression in Low, Medium and High but as I did it one by one, previous files seemed to be replaced by the previous one.

One more compression level. Enhancement, please.

After running the tool at "Medium" the pdf size did not change. When running it at "High" the size is perfect (from 3Mb to 0.7Mb), but the image quality not so. Something in between would be ideal, even with a little higher size.
Thanks a lot for your work.

No files are displayed when you want select a pdf file

with "compress-pdf-v0.1-x86_64.AppImage" on ArchLinux, no files are displayed when you want select a pdf file.
workaround:
type directely the name of the pdf file...
