Replying here because I couldn't reply to your other comment (I think it reached max depth). It has no particular relation to PDFs :D. It's just a random name. I also like the number 31.

It means 31 (thirty one) in persian.

There is a new open source PDF viewer called sioyek that has many of the features of sumatra and has experimental linux builds. https://sioyek.info/ (Disclaimer: I am the developer of…

You can middle click on a reference to quickly go to the reference. You don't lose your place in the document because you can press backspace to get back to where you were (you could also leave a…

> It seems to target the figure caption though, and depending on zoom level / window size might leave most of the figure out of view. You are right. It currently does target the caption (spec…

Fixed. Thanks.

We do currently have something like this feature. If you select a piece of text and then press the bookmark button, then the bookmark text will be automatically filled with the selected text. Later, t…

There is an open github issue on the linux build. Currently the project builds and works on linux without any issues. The only thing remaining is packaging the executable so that the user doesn't…

I had some previous experience modifying Sumatra PDF which uses MuPDF so I was already familiar with MuPDF. I didn't really look into pdfium :D.

> A few questions/feature requests/comments: Is there a way to link to a page/mark/bookmark/figure from outside the document? Yes you can (if I understood your question cor…

You can currently change the background color of the app (not the PDF) in the configuration file. We don't currently have True Dark Mode but it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

yes.

The data is stored on a sqlite database file next to the executable.

What do you mean exactly by annotations? Sioyek currently does have a bookmark support which is external to the PDF (you can bookmark locations in PDF file and you can later quickly search in those bo…

Thanks! I do use this for LaTeX myself and synctex support is on my to-do list.

Unfortunately it currently can't. But I do plan to add it eventually.

I currently don't do any indexing for general search (though I do index the figures, references and equations when the book is first opened). But I do plan to index more things (like the definiti…

Some of the features: * You can middle click on a reference/figure to go to the reference/figure (even if the PDF doesn't have links) * You can middle click on a paper name in reference…

Also here is the same graph with the classic taylor expansion of sin with 3 terms (x + (x^3)/(3!) + (x^5)/(5!)): https://www.desmos.com/calculator/emfz64hjhv …

Yes, but at least it's unsupervised.

The video lecture of Vonnegut himself explaining this is also worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOGru_4z1Vc …

I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not but for me the reason that I live in a city absolutely is easy access to those.

Probably a little more advanced than what you are looking for but I would like to recommend The Nature of Computation by Cristopher Moore and Stephan Mertens as a next step. It is such a fun book to …

Nope. We only have to read the parent of the last changed folder. Plus, any filesystem worth its salts already caches the frequently used parts.

> where are you storing the amount each file was changed since the last parent folder update The same place we store the rest of the file attributes? I think my design does make a lot of sense but …
