This is great! Once the issue you've raised is fixed, please create a PR here. This will also give me some time to deal with all the existing PRs that have piled up. |

That 'main' issue has been fixed, but some minor issues remain. Although image-roll itself seems to work mostly fine, it is not straightforward to add support for all pdf-tools features (the issues are mostly related to 'redisplay', see e.g. dalanicolai/image-roll.el#4). So for that reason, I am not sure if the modifications in my pdf-toll branch should already get merged into the Additionally, finishing/preparing image-roll.el for publishing takes time also, and I think I will not have the time for a while (this does not have my priority). So we can not yet, in a clean way, install image-roll with pdf-tools, but users would have to obtain it from my github repo. This makes it also easier to inform users about the importance of donations, because I am not in the privileged position to be able to donate days/weeks of work for free (well, I would donate it for free also, but, in my position, I think it is fair to ask for donations). Anyway, if you think that the current support in the 'pdf-roll' branch is already 'good enough', I would be happy to create a PR. And otherwise, we'll just wait a bit until at some point, the pdf support is good enough, and image-roll has been published somewhere. |
@dalanicolai and @vedang I would love for this to get merged into pdf-tools, what are your thoughts about this plan:
The benefits of this would be:
This is just a suggestion, let me know if you have any thoughts. |
I'd be happy to review a PR which adds all of this work to pdf-tools. The plan sounds good to me. |
@gsingh93 Thank you very much for the interest in the pdf-roll branch. Unfortunately, I have no time to work on this package. Also, I have been working on an improved version of image-roll here in doc-scroll.el (it can be made to work with pdf-tools in a similar way as image-roll). @aikrahguzar has recently been doing quite a lot of work on this package/branch here. I have notified him about your request. ps. @gsingh93 Thanks a lot for your donation also |
I will like to get this functionality merged into Other than that it is usable with my fork of image-roll. So @gsingh93 if you want try it out. @dalanicolai, since you are not planning on maintaining One wrinkle I am not sure how to deal with: |
I would like to notify you about my new package image-roll. I have also added support to pdf-tools in the pdf-roll branch of my pdf-tools fork.
There is a small remaining issue in the image-roll package, so I am waiting for an answer from the Emacs developers. As soon as the issue gets fixed I will be happy to create a PR here, or if you like I could do it already, whatever you prefer. Anyway, you can try the package with pdf-tools already if you like.
