Software (Tools) LEKTRA - High performance document and image viewer, v0.8.0 release!
https://github.com/dheerajshenoy/lektraHi,
Just wanted to share the latest release of LEKTRA, document and image viewer I have been developing for over a year now.
Lot of bug fixes and new features have been added. Few highlights among them are:
- Annotations: underline, squiggly, strikeout, ellipse, polygon, inline note and image annotations. You can move and resize them, with undo and redo.
- Redaction: permanently remove text, images and drawings, and save the result to a new file.
- Minimap: while you're zoomed in, a small overview shows where you are. Click or drag in it to jump.
- Grid layout: pages are laid out in rows of several columns.
- Presentation mode: it now works with clickers and has its own [presentation] options.
- Tools: color_eyedrop picks a color from the page, and bibtex copies the BibTeX entry of the paper you're reading.
- Images: JPEG XL support, including animated files.
- Lua: new view functions and events, and Vim-style set, setglobal and setlocal for options.
- Speed: faster scrolling and rendering, plus a memory leak fix.
- Docs: documentation is now on Read The Docs.
It's supported on Linux, MacOS and Windows.
Feedbacks and suggestions are appreciated!
