Regarding the two descriptions for the Filter Files action in PDF-Tools

Post by rakunavi »

=== UPDATE ===================================================================
The issue reported below has been resolved in Ver 10.5.0 build 393.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================


Hello all,

Report #1

  • At the top of the Filter Files action in PDF-Tools you will find the following option, but "above" at the end of the description would be more appropriate for "below".

    • "Select only documents that do not fulfill the criteria above"

    The Filter Documents action and the Filter Pages action have the same option, but it is described as "below".

    Note that the notation in the online help is "above" for all three actions, both in the description and in the figure, so it would seem that these should be changed to "below".

Report #2

  • The function description of the Filter Files action is as follows. Compared to other action descriptions, "files" seems more appropriate here than "pages".

    • Sets criteria for automatic selection of pages to be processed in subsequent actions.

      figure2.png
    For your information, the function descriptions of Filter Documents action and Filter Pages action are described as follows respectively.

    • Filter Documents action:
      Sets criteria for automatic selection of documents to be processed in subsequent actions.
      (sID or CtrlID : act.filterDocs.desc)
      • Filter Pages action:
        Sets criteria for automatic selection of pages to be processed in subsequent actions.
        (sID or CtrlID : act.filterPages.desc)
      Probably, the root cause might be that "ID: act.filterFiles.desc" corresponding to the description of the Filter Files action is not defined and "ID: act.filterPages.desc" is assigned by mistake.
    As always, I am afraid I am pointing out all the super extremely minor details, but I hope it will be of some help.

    Best regards,

    Hello rakunavi,

    Any report is helpful even if it is such minor issues as having the proper word for a given scenario.
    I will pass the above to our PDF Tools UI devs as this is likely a quick fix and would not require a ticket, but if a ticket becomes necessary - I would certainly create one and post it here for you as well!

    Thanks once again for noticing those issues and reporting them! We are looking at ironing them out!

    Kind regards,
    Stefan

    Hello Stefan and Vladimir,

    Thank you very much for your prompt response to these minor details.

    I will continue to explore all the features of the application and will let you know as soon as I find something that you might want to share with the developers. The more I use the applications, the more I am amazed at the vast number of functions. :o
