Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] (A) Add graphics/scan packages: Scantailor; Tesseract; DjVu Libre; pdftk, (B) LibreOffice Calc, and (C) mail-list archives search
Thanks for that. Regarding Scantailor Advanced, I will likely explore the link you provided as I'm most familiar with that fork/version of ST, but for completeness I mention the following different version which I just discovered accidentally: Scantailor Universal (self-desribes as "a fork based on Enhanced+Featured+Master versions of ST"). https://github.com/trufanov-nok/scantailor-universal/releases <<< Ubuntu-compatible OS (18.04+) users may get scantailor-universal package and its updates automatically by subscribing to this ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:truf/scantailor-universal sudo apt-get update sudo apt install scantailor-universal The attached deb files are for Ubuntu 18.04 (build without exiv2 support) and 19.04+ (ICC profile propagation enabled) I can't see any MS Windows binaries to try so if ST Advanced can't be added to repository in due course I may try ST Universal instead if it's stil there and compatible with current Ubuntu LTS, though its components appear to antedate ST Advanced which itself was a major work of improvement.

[ubuntu-studio-users] (A) Add graphics/scan packages: Scantailor; Tesseract; DjVu Libre; pdftk, (B) LibreOffice Calc, and (C) mail-list archives search
Keywords: graphics; document scanning; Scantailor Advanced; Tesseract-ocr; DjVuLibre; pdftk; LibreOffice Calc; default packages; mail-list search I'm now subscribed to the list and was briefly surveying Ubuntu Studio as a possible Linux flavour for a dual-boot with Windows 7 and/or 10 laptops. Main interest graphics: scanning / post-scan processing. (A) Base package additions? Just wondered if there is any appetite for adding to the basic Ubuntu Studio main distribution or Ubuntu Studio Installer for use with eg Xubuntu the following scan post-processing tools (e.g. optical character recognition; cleaning up scanned images; DjVu and pdftk tools) which I've used for some years under MS Windows - Studio's standard complement has much on audio/video but less coverage on scanning: i) Scantailor Advanced (a current version that merges the features of the ScanTailor Featured and ScanTailor Enhanced versions, the latter two being it seems no longer developed): https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced/ ii) tesseract-ocr for document optical character recognition and pdf assembly etc; see e.g.: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdoc iii) DjVuLibre suite preferably including DjView v.4.10.4 as it can export from DjVu to pdf rather than just to postscript: http://djvu.sourceforge.net/ iv) pdftk for operations on pdf including fixing bookmarks etc: https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/ Obviously I imagine I could in due course explore adding these myself to an installation if I proceeded but just wanted minimise the learning curve and thought of asking here in case others might find it useful to have one or more of these added to the default package list. (B) LibreOffice Calc and Database: I note a commenter stating at https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntustudio "Would have given a 10 But they did not include Libreoffice Calc and Database? Why Not ??? I use them often." I personally concur at least as regards OpenOffice Calc being included in (restored to?) the default package list. (C) Ubuntu Studio mail archive - search function? I can't see a search function for Ubuntu Studio, so apologies if this has been discussed before but was not found by me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-users/ Is a seach function somewhere else? Looked but cannot find. Debian users mail list has a support function; one example: https://lists.debian.org/cgi-bin/search?P=scantailor&DEFAULTOP=or&B=Gdebian-user&SORT=&HITSPERPAGE=10 Regards, Robert Jones r...@sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://SDF.org -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
