Hi there!
Please tell -- how to run PDF plugin? I have already run legacy SupermemoAssistant, but what to do next? Ctrl+Win+i doesn't work.

I have found some issues with certain pdfs where you are unable to select images.
For example when I click and drag to try to select an image I get a whole band selected or in some cases a whole page.

I'm attaching an example

Hi
Is there a way to remove an image extract from the pdf? I tried removing the extract from SM but the selection still shows in the pdf.

At least two strategies:

• Text highlight / font shaping
• Two polygons (accounting for line feeds):
  • Top left corner of page -> Last out-of-extract text character
  • Last extract text character -> Bottom right corner of page

Polygons solution may be problematic for multi-columns, or unconventional text flows documents.

feature request to check for missing pdf in the Binary registry, and for existing pdf files with no Binary member

• Shift + Click: Extend Selection from Start to Clicked character (or Clicked character to Start)
• Ctrl + Shift + Click: Union extend, keeps existing selection, adds new selected text

ctrl+shift+ right/left to choose words

ctrl+right/left to move cursor around words

Automatically generate references:

• New PDF
• IPDF Extracts

Add option to Copy PDF documents in SMA FS (alongside collection data)

Hi
Would love to try it out. How can I become a beta tester?

• Bookmark Split
• Style Split

solution:

1. change screen scaling to 100%
2. reboot

---> need to make SMA compatible with different scaling settings

With both left mouse & right mouse drag

Hi
After using the PDF reader on several documents I realize that there are a couple of features that could be quite useful:

• button to go back to previous view. The pdf I was reading had a glossary at the end and it would be useful if I could go to the glossary, extract the definition of a word and then go back where I was before I went to see the glossary. This could also be useful if we have to go several pages before to find an image or an equation. Or simple review another section. Or clicking on a link to a reference. There is not way to go back and continue reading.
• alternatively, (probably more useful but probably more difficult too) would be to be able to split the screen in 2 and see 2 different sections of the same pdf . This way if I need to see another section of the pdf I don't need to lose my current location.

• Shift + Selection:: Translate selection

• Mimic SM's arrow-keys nav
  • Alt+Left
  • Alt+Right
  • Ctrl+Up
  • Ctrl+...
• By clicking on highlighted extracts (0.2 Milestone ?)

• Fix missing logs issue
• Add log messages in relevant parts

• Split types (?)

• Text Extract
• Image Extract

Hi
Where do you set the Appid and AppKey in order to use the OCR option for math?
Also how do you get the Appid and AppKey to use?

thanks

Allow drag selection from clicking in an empty area by selecting the nearest text.

so you wouldnt have to choose same image all over again on each extract you make

I use concepts to organize my knowledge tree, and I have two issues with the way the SMA PDF plugin deals with concepts.

To begin with, I should explain that I have all my PDFs under a single "PDFs" concept element directly under the root of my knowledge tree.

My first issue occurs after I click Learn and a PDF comes up. Suppose, as is common, that the default concept (next to the light bulb in the Elements window) is something other than "PDFs". For example, suppose I was making some "Math" concept elements before I clicked Learn. Now, whenever I try to make an extract from the PDF, I get this error:

Concept verification
Hook not a child of root!

To work around this error, whenever a PDF appears in learning, I switch the focus to the element window, make sure the default concept is "PDFs", and then switch back to the PDF window. Maybe my feature request here is for SMA to do those steps for me automatically, and also, when I move on from the PDF, to change the default concept back to what it was before.

My second issue is that I wish I didn't have to keep all my PDFs under one top-level concept. I wish I could organize them under the concept that they actually belong under.

Text flow can be messed up in some PDF documents.
Provide a tool to remedy that issue.

Hi
When reading technical documents we often have math inline with text. I don't see any way to select the math inside a paragraph as image. It is treated as text.

Ideally I would like to run the OCR on the inline math but again this is not possible right now since there is no way to force image selection inside a text paragraph

thanks

Limit to Subset:

• Scrolling
• Search
• Bookmarks

inside iPDF ALT+LEFT works only when you

1. extract
2. alt+tab out of reader
3. alt+left to extract you made
4. alt right back to PDF

after that you can ALT+LEFT in reader but not without these steps

• Mimic Done (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
• Mimic Delete (Ctrl+Shift+Del)

Hi
Is there currently a way to jump from an extract in supermemo to the pdf location where the extract was taken?

it would be very useful
thanks

  • Copy
  • IPDF Extract
  • SM Extract
  • Search in ... (Open browser) (0.1 Beta)

Strategies:

• Text selection (page range + start/end character index)

Using different color for:

• IPDF Extract
• SM Extract

Exception: RemotingException: Port is Busy: All pipe instances are busy.

Possible lead: The exception is thrown when you try to access a pipe from multiple threads at once. Pipes are not thread-safe

scenario:

you are reading book which requires context from previous chapters.

You stop reading suddenly.

Next time you are back at the book you need to retrieve context somehow.

Some simple system to add manual context (notes) to certain point or words in the text.

To hide "rotate left rotate right" etc and make iPDF look really slick and minimalist for maximum area for text

Bookmarks display

• Ctrl+Mouse Drag: Create clipping area
• Area resize
• Alt+X: SM Extract area as Image

When SM displays:

• An IPDF Element
  • Display in IPDF
• Non-related Element
  • Hide window ?
  • Empty window ? (faster to load next PDF ?)
