Release notes: version 0.1.7
This version fixes a number of issues relating to uploading and transcribing items with many images and uploading PDFs.
This includes:
- More robust, flexible PDF image extraction that can deal with images stored as “commonObjects” inside the PDF
- Fully asynchronous PDF extraction that is treated as a background “task” (like image uploads) for better user experience
- Inclusion of PDF extraction tasks in the tasks pane, along with image uploads
- Fixed a bug where adding PDFs after having uploaded something already failed to perform image extraction
- Fixed race conditions that may have been causing problems with image and PDF uploading.
- Added a “select all” checkbox to the image list at the top, so selecting all images within a document is easier (especially for large documents)
- Fixed issue where navigating from a “Transcribed” image to a “Draft” image often didn’t update the status flag to the top-right of the transcript
- Made it possible to transcribe large batches of images. Transcribing many (more than around one hundred) images at once sometimes failed. This has now been fixed and it should now be possible to transcribe unlimited numbers of images at a time.
