Features and issues

[alonetrifle]

Here are a list of issues I've encountered during the use:

1. In the linux build.sh for fedora you have to change qmake to qmake-qt5 in order to use the qmake from qt5
2. Launch new instance when opening a second PDF file instead of closing the previous one and opening a new one
3. Replace the shortcut for page navigation with Arrow keys
4. Sometimes when app is behind a window and the window gets closed the GUI glitches but it gets resolved on its own

Suggested features:

1. Add ePUB support since Sioyek uses muPDF backend, ePUB support can be added to it too.
2. An option to expand or collapse all of the table of contents
3. Add script to create .desktop file for the Appimage or the built package from source

Launch new instance when opening a second PDF file instead of closing the previous one and opening a new one

You can do this by passing --new-window to sioyek when opening a file. Alternatively you can add this to your prefs_user.config to make this the default:

should_launch_new_window 1

Replace the shortcut for page navigation with Arrow keys

We use the arrow keys for horizontal navigation. If you want this you can change this in your keys_user.config:

next_page <right>
previous_page <left>

Sometimes when app is behind a window and the window gets closed the GUI glitches but it gets resolved on its own

I don't think this is a sioyek bug. This is probably an issue with your window manager or display server.

Add ePUB support since Sioyek uses muPDF backend, ePUB support can be added to it too.

We already support epub files.

An option to expand or collapse all of the table of contents

We already have this option. You can press left/right arrow keys on table of contents to collapse/expand them. You can also use the icon when you hover the mouse next to the items.

Thanks! Was just looking if scrollbars are available, I use them a lot to get an intuitive feeling on "where" in the paper I am (similar to knowing how much you still have to read in a physical book)
