search open tabs list

Hello =JeffH,

I like the idea you describe as a minimal implementation, yet I don't think I want to go further in qpdfview. Please try out building from source or a package that contains at least trunk revision 1833 which should contain a new setting for searchable menus (on the interface tab of the settings dialog) which will add a search-as-you-type mechanism to the tabs and bookmarks menus.

You can then open the menu and type a search text which will be displayed in a tool tip above the menu and should case-insensitively limit the visible tab menu items. The backspace and delete keys will remove the character last typed, non-printable characters are passed to the underlying menu so that keyboard navigation should still be available.

Best regards, Adam.

Hi Adam, thanks for implementing that idea so quickly. My day job has been pretty all-consuming, but in between the cracks I've tried to compile qpdfview_trunk-r1834 and have run up against this..

> make
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake /media/MUSIC/u2/local/src/qpdfview/qpdfview_trunk-r1834/trunk/pdf-plugin.pro -o Makefile.pdf-plugin
Project ERROR: Package poppler-qt4 not found
make: *** [Makefile.pdf-plugin] Error 2

..on ubuntu 14.04.

I'm sorta stymied cuz I appear to have the goods (info below), but don't expect this forum here to necessarily be the appropriate place to get help on resolving such a build environment config issue.

thanks, =JefH

Hello =JeffH,

Debian and Ubuntu, like a lot of binary distributions, ship only the runtime libraries as part of their packages, but not the headers and other supplementary files necessary to build programs using those libraries. So for example for Poppler's Qt4 bindings, you need the package "libpoppler-qt4-dev" which contains the headers and a pkg-config manifest.

You can also install all dependencies automatically "apt-get build-dep qpdfview". But you could actually have a simpler time just using the dailydebs built for Ubuntu automatically available at [1].

Best regards, Adam.
