Feature request for installing new languages for OCR from GUI

Open N3tFX opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

If you could add an option to add more languages for the OCR from the GUI of Papermerge, that, would be very useful for non English speakers. I have managed to install more languages but I did it from the console and it's not so user friendly for newbies.

Also if you could make Papermerge somehow to auto refresh the page when a new upload is made, (in order for the changes to appear) that would also improve the user experience.

Hi @N3tFX, thank you for opening a ticket.

You have a valid point here. I will consider it in next versions.

Also if you could make Papermerge somehow to auto refresh the page when a new upload is made, (in order for the changes to appear) that would also improve the user experience.

This is a duplicate of this enhancement ticket. It was remarked by many people. I will prioritize fix for this issue for upcoming 1.5 release.

Great! If you decide to implement this, also make sure to give the option to also Uninstall languages from the GUI. In case someone installs a language he didn't wont by mistake.

Best regards

I use the linuxserver container so I'm not supposed to write here, but it's a pain in the *** to make it work in French with their all-in-one container... I'm still struggling with it. Maybe if this feature is coming I will switch to the default install method ;) !
