Epdfview 0.1.7 in Lupu does a poor job of rendering some scanned documents. As an example, download the attached "scanner.pdf.gz", remove the dummy .gz extension and open it in Epdfview.

Then install the attached epdfview_lupu-0.1.8.pet and repeat.


Certainly much better, but not as sharp as the page looks as it comes out of a decent printer. What resolution did you scan it with?

Excellent; that makes a huge difference. Thanks. I spent hours last weekend scanning CV documents and was really not happy with the outcome. Now I see the docs are actually fine after all.

That's comparing apples to oranges. The true test is to print the PDF and compare to the original document.

300dpi.

Same here. In fact, I could convert the PDF back into a graphic and all the resolution was still there.

Thanks,

Nothing there though to explain the unruly autoinstall behavior. There's only one profile listed - 'default'.

I found something rather more unsettling yesterday though.

For some years now I've had Seamonkey set to delete browsing history when shutting down, as well as most other residues of online activity.

So I was dumbfounded when I happened to open the tab:

Tools/Data Manager

to see a list of domains that seems to include most, if not all, of the sites I've visited over the past several years!

At the bottom of the page I see a "remove" tab, but it's greyed out.

What use is clearing your history if every domain you've visited is shown and can't be removed?

Do other browsers have this same function?

Thanks for the tip. I just checked the data manager and can see the same massive history stored there.

So I then went to Tools / Clear private data and ticked every possible box and cleared them all, then went back into data manager and everything was gone, except there was an entry for “getpersonas.com” which seems to be something to do with a Firefox plugin or something???????

This is a bit disturbing.

And it seems that I cannot permanently set those tickboxes in the "Clear private data" function. It goes back to retaining the data manager list again every time.

So this is SeaMonkey. Can one find same such directory
in FireFox too? If one have both SM and FF would then SM
save such info even if one only used FF and never activated
SM? I mean both being mozilla. Maybe I am too naive.

I just looked at a different version of Seamonkey in my Slacko install, and tried to get rid of the data manager domain list by ticking the "clear private data" boxes one at a time. Each tick box would get rid of SOME of the listed domains, but even combining ALL of the tickboxes did not get rid of all the sites from the data manager list.

Then I found I can right-click those domain names in the data manager list, and it allows me to "forget about this domain" and implies that the info is stored because of "content preferences" that lets Seamonkey remember "zoom levels for each site" etc etc.

As you say, this is rather unsettling.

I've been running with every box but one ticked in the "clear private data" menu, and yet I've got over five hundred domain names still listed in data manager. That's a lot of clicking to "forget" until the next time.

Because as soon as you go back to one of the domains you've clicked "forget', it's back on the list...

Yes, it's rather disturbing that the domains appear on the list without any user intervention requesting special "remembering" of anything to do with that domain. I understand if a cookie gets "remembered" - at least I can clear those (or set the browser to reject all cookies anyway). But who decided that these domains should be retained in Data Manager?????

I'm glad you uncovered this flaw. Googling "data manager" suggests that early Seamonkeys should be free of this issue.

Otropogo/Greengeek

FYI both Chrome & Chromium retain page level zoom info even when the cache etc are cleared. This of course means that they retain data on both domains & pages visited.
IE8 seems o/k but I suspect that this is common with modern browsers.

For anyone wanting to test their browser:

1. Copy the address at the top of this page then zoom in to an insane level. Shocked
2. Take whatever action is necessary to clear the cache/history/cookies etc in your browser & then exit it.
3. Re-launch your browser and paste the address you copied into the address bar and visit it. If it is still large data is being retained and computer forensic scientists can rest easy in their beds. Laughing

(This is getting a bit off topic)

Hi futwerk, I downloaded the third one of these backgrounds and used mtPaint to "invert" the colours. It looked really neat, and might be handy when icons are harder to see against a dark background.

Hi All

Is there a way to enable force feedback for steering wheels in puppy 528. I am running grand prix legends through wine version 1.5 (plays very well btw) but there is no force feedback available through my logitech momo wheel. Can puppy be tickled into giving force feedback?

Cheers

When I try to run MakeHuman program which is a Debian .deb
then it complain I miss this:
sh-4.1# /makehuman: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so I maybe need this then libGLEW.so.1.5

what could that be about?

You could get libGLEW 1.5 for Lucid from here. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libglew1.5

This is for GL so Xorg_High or a proprietary video driver would need to be installed (I am pretty sure anyway).
