What happens is that I like the djvu format (a lot!), and I'd like to export all my pdf books (I'm studying the university and I have a lot of pdf books) to djvu format.The problem is that I found very uncomfortable to read a djvu book (with hundreds of pages) without the help of bookmarks or index.I have found some djvu files with bookmarks and that's why I believe that there is a way to do this.I found an application called djvubookmarker on sourceforge.net , but this application only works on Windows OS (and doesn't work really good, it has some bugs) so I haven't used wine to use this application with my Ubuntu.
when i compile evince-dbg from source, it can open pdf very well, but when i try to open djvu files, it says that djvu image is not supported?? what do i have to do to address this?
I've downloaded some files from the Internet Archive. They come in different file formats and most of the time I use pdf. However, sometimes the scans are saves in colour instead of b/w. This makes it difficult/impossible to read on a dedicated ebook reader. In that case I downloaded the djvu files as on the PC you can select which layer (color, bw,fore,back) one would like to see. Selecting the bw gives excellent results. However, the ebook reader does not has this option.
The question is, how can I remove /extract a layer from the djvu file and save only this layer.
So far I've tried the following two approaches:
1) select bw in the djvu viewer on the PC and printed to postscript file. Followed by a ps2pdf conversion. This works, but generates a fairly large pdf file. Sure, I can again upload it to any2djvu but it just seems to much manual work for each file.
2) I tried the shared annotation feature and said (mode bw). This works on the PC as desired but is ignored on the ebook reader as the other layers are still present.
i have one big pdf file that i made from 272 Photos. Heard that djvu format is better at compression than pdf. But have no clue how to use it. I have in synaptic installed pdf2djvu package, and it is in /usr/bin, but have no idea how to use it
There are quite a few threads in this forum on how to convert a DJVU file into a PDF (among which this thread the instruction of which I followed.) I converted a DJVU file by printing it to a PS file from the Document Viewer. Then I printed again the PS to file into a PDF from that same application. The second phase took more than 24 hours and resulted in a scanned PDF of less than 500 pages with a size of 315 MB! I have many books of more pages which come down to 1 MB only. What happened in the process to make it so damn slow and so inefficient? Is there a good alternative (not ps2pdf because it provides the same result)?
I notice that when you try to Make link to any file or folder form context menu, It just copy the same file size? even when i tried to copy the link to external storage disk..
bookmark sync function in Ubuntu One? I already installed xul-bindwood and I now see the Desktop Couch Scratch folder in my bookmarks, but I simply do not understand how this feature works and what it is supposed to accomplish. Is it similar to Firefox Sync (by Mozilla) in that it synchronizes the bookmarks on multiple computers? Or is it supposed to make the bookmarks accessible to view on the web under the account page (like Evolution contacts)?
I used to use xmarks but that is about to end so i tried firefox sync but that requires firefox to have 'remember history' to work and i dont like this-i use 'private browsing'. So what other managers are there to use for bookmarks? Ive recently taken up usage of lastpass for passwords-anyone know if lastpass will do bookmarks soon as well?
When I go to a bookmark, right click, instead of an option to open in a new tab...it directly opens the page. Has anyone else experienced this ? Do you think this is a bug in the new Firefox ? Or is this designed this way ?
I have used JellyfiSSH on Mac OSX which basically stores your ssh connection details so you can quickly open connections using the built in SSH client to various servers without having to type in all the details, is there are similar thing available for linux? I am using Ubuntu.
I've had a minor, yet potentially embarrassing bug in Firefox 3.0.x for many months in Ubuntu 9.04, and just recently also experienced it with a fresh install of 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.x. Basically what happens is that occasionally a favicon will incorrectly be associated with a bookmark until I visit the bookmarked web site again. And these will be favicons from websites that I do not have bookmarked. Normally I wouldn't care. But if I was surfing porn, sometimes the porn site favicon would show up on one of bookmarks. Which could cause a bit of embarrassment. LOL
It turns out through a bit of sheer luck, I discovered that the problem seemed to be a bug in the "Tab Mix Plus" Firefox add-on. Since I only wanted that add-on for it's last tab selected feature, I un-installed it and installed a much more light weight and simple add-on called "LastTab" to recreate that functionality. And I have yet to have this problem since then. I suppose it's possible that it could be an interaction problem between add-ons. So just for completeness of information, here's a list of all my add-ons prior to un-installing Tab Mix Plus and installing LastTab.
Like the title says my bookmark icons have disappeared and have been replaced with blank white pages:Initially I thought they would come back if i did a fresh install and imported the bookmarks, but when I reinstall chromium they are already there, and again without the proper icons.
I have: ubuntu 10.10 => joined into Active Directory Domain (test.net) I can login using AD users using Likewise-Open I have in my Windows environement Home Folders (Shared by AD) for every user and it apears as Z: Drive automatically when I loged in using windows machines. I need same setup using ubuntu desktop to show these Home Folders for every users automatically when he logs in.
I am puzzled by this really weird issue that involves Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8. When I add a bookmark (doesn't matter where I add it, could be to the field or to the menu) followed by exiting Firefox and then starting again, nothing happens. The process firefox gets listed with 'ps aux | grep fire' but the program itself doesn't appear, as if it hung before it could get to the display. However, when I remove ~/.mozilla (or rename it) Firefox starts up again nicely. I can only assume that the problem has to do with bookmarks (which is really odd..).
I am looking for a standalone bookmark management application as I need to use different browsers on occasion and don't want to store my bookmarks on one of the web based services.
Ideally this would be a server client type arrangement that would store my bookmarks on my server which I could connect to through a client, or an ncurses based application, that I can store, tag and sort my bookmarks on.
I am aware of Sitebar which offers their server software, however their plug-in is firefox, IE, and maxthon only at present. In an added complication there seems to be a conflict with one of my other firefox add-ons.
I was trying to install Sim City 4 Deluxe when somehow through my mounting an un-mounting of the two ISO's nautilus decided to make an entry in the places menu. I've searched through the forums and most of what I'm finding is how to remove things like the network and desktop items.
Here are three screenshots showing what I mean. Number one shows the entry I am talking about, specifically the SC4DELUXE1 entry. Number two shows that just right clicking and selecting remove like many threads suggest does not work here as it is grayed out. Lastly number three, this is the error I'm given when I left click the entry.
I finally figured out how to fix this. I simply went into the disk utility. Under peripheral devices the unwanted device was listed. Click the check file system button after selecting the device. It reports back that the file system is not clean and removes the device.
During the past eight years I've used a number of computers with different operating systems and browsers. On each one I made a habit of using the bookmark utility of each browser and saving the bookmarks file. I never ensured the continuity of the bookmark file - with each new computer I started a new bookmark file. Even when I was reinstalling the operating system I didn't import the old bookmark file in the newly installed browser: I've always started a new bookmark file. As a result I have tens of bookmark files for Firefox (json format - some kind of xml?) and IE (html file format?) each one containing hundreds or thousands of saved links. I have also some files containing links in text format (created usually when I was using someone else computer).
I would like to be able to manage this bookmarks files by using some sort of "bookmark manager" software. The "bookmark manager" should be able to merge the bookmark files into a single collection/file. It should be able to identify and remove the duplicate entries (I have timely versions of the same bookmark file) and also it should be able to group the entries/links on categories (for example the bookmarked articles on codeproject.com should be grouped under the codeproject category). Not to mention that it should provide a search facility to quickly locate the interesting bookmarks. I couldn't find such software in ubuntu software center. Do you know something that even comes close to what I need?
I'm running the latest release of Fedora, release 12. When I attempt to bookmark a site, Firefox will close when I click on the drop down arrow to choose the location. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but the issue persists. I've tried this when running Gnome, Openbox, and xfce.
I am just trying out a new installation of 11.4 (KDE) but have an irritating problem when trying to set up bookmarks using the KRDC Bookmark Editor. Whenever I try to add or amend a bookmark in a folder, I start typing in the name or location box and the text field clears itself and the root of the bookmark folder tree becomes selected, making it impossible to add bookmarks. As I need to add around 200 bookmarks, this is really frustrating.
