Package: gscan2pdf Version: 0.9.29-1 Severity: wishlist If I delete pages, or run pages through processors, such as unpaper, gscan2pdf creates new temporary files but does not remove the old ones (which are no longer referenced from the session file). I understand this is necessary for undo functionality. However, given that each PNM file takes up several dozens of megabytes, it would be nice if gscan2pdf offered the functionality to remove those files no longer needed (thereby voiding the ability to undo).
Right now, I work around it using the following command in the temporary directory: (sed -rne 's,^[[:space:]]+filename[[:space:]]+.+/(.+),-o -name \1 -prune,p' session; echo '-o -name \*.pnm -print0') | xargs find . -size 0 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -- but this is not without problems, because the session file does not seem to get updated after running e.g. unpaper over a page. The best way to trigger a rewrite of the session file seems to be renumbering all pages with ctrl-r. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gscan2pdf depends on: ii imagemagick 7:6.5.8.3-1 image manipulation programs ii libconfig-general-perl 2.44-1 Generic Configuration Module ii libforks-perl 0.33-1 forks - emulate threads with fork ii libgtk2-ex-simple-list-perl 0.50-1.1 A simple interface to Gtk2's compl ii libgtk2-imageview-perl 0.05-1 Perl bindings for the GtkImageView ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-6 Using libc functions for internati ii libpdf-api2-perl 0.73-1 module for creating or modifying P ii librsvg2-common 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsane-perl 0.03-1 Perl bindings for the SANE (Scanne ii libset-intspan-perl 1.13-2 Manages sets of integers ii libtiff-tools 3.9.2-1 TIFF manipulation and conversion t ii perl-modules [libarchive-tar 5.10.1-8 Core Perl modules ii perlmagick 7:6.5.8.3-1 Perl interface to the ImageMagick ii sane-utils 1.0.20-10 API library for scanners -- utilit Versions of packages gscan2pdf recommends: ii djvulibre-bin 3.5.22-7 Utilities for the DjVu image forma ii gocr 0.46-2.1 A command line OCR ii libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl 0.18-1 Perl Gtk2 widget for displaying Pl ii sane 1.0.14-9 scanner graphical frontends ii tesseract-ocr 2.04-1 Command line OCR tool ii unpaper 0.3-1 post-processing tool for scanned p ii xdg-utils 1.0.2-6.1 desktop integration utilities from gscan2pdf suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
