Inline PDF shows in small box

[saurabh-mhaisekar]

Hello Robert,

Thank you for keeping this project alive. I've found an issue while trying to read PDF, the inline PDF shows in very small window, also I cannot resize that box/window.

Attaching the screenshot for your reference.

Also, Can you let us know the roadmap you've planned for the development. I'm planning to contribute in codebase during my free time.

Hi. Thank you also for your Nixnote21 effort.
I have the same issue as above, and also - if I arrow through the pdf pages forward/backward several times - sometimes the pdf is removed from the note.
If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
I am on Ubuntu 16.04 with latest updates and I used the latest PPA to install nixnote21

Hi,
I know about the problem, but I ignored so far, as I find the "inline PDF display" feature pretty useless. I think opening the PDF in external viewer is much better, that using bad inline view. But I can look, if I can fix it. It seems that it worked better in v2.0.

During test I discovered much more important bug, that the PDF disappears if the note is edited and synced with ""inline PDF display" turned on. This is dangerous and I will fix it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile pls set "inline PDF display" to off.

[mckellyln]

Yes, thanks, that is what I reported above. I will disable inline PDF for now.
Thank you again for your work.

[robert7]

Ah yes (I did read it, but then forgot :) ). The PDF doesn't disappear, if the "inline display" is turned off.

Should be fixed in 2.0.1-beta4b (I merged to master, this should now be build automagically and be published in the PPA ... let see tomorrow :) ).

I could not figure out how to make height auto adjust, so the height is now fixed to 600px. Width should auto adjust relative to window. The PDF is no longer removed from the note after edit. I found third problem, where PDF could be duplicated after fresh insert into note.

Now it looks like this:

I still like it better with "Show PDF inline" off, but its not that bad :)

[mckellyln]

Awesome. Thank you again for this and all your effort.

[robert7]

@mckellyln pls test all with the version 2.0.1-beta4b (it is already available in the PPA) and let me know if there are any more problem related to "PDF" attachments (with preview or without)

[mckellyln]

@robert7 it looks good now at the larger size - but one minor issue still, when I page forward the page number increases, but when I page backward the page number does not decrease.

[robert7]

ok. you are right. I'll fix it

[robert7]

@mckellyln the "page number not decreasing" is fixed in v. 2.1.0-beta4d pls test

[mckellyln]

@robert7 works great, thank you so much.
