Hi Wilbert,

Have you got a debian or Ubuntu package that sorts out all the
dependencies for Poppler, PyQt4 and popplerqt4? I've not been able to
install these by hand on Ubuntu 11.10 yet, and get Frescobaldi Music
View going.

Cheers,
Ian

It's a work in progress, I have to finish packaging python-poppler-qt4
first. I hope to have everything uploaded to Debian unstable by
Thursday.

Best wishes,
Ryan

I am still having no luck in an RPM setup. When yours are ready, I will try
installing them with alien.

So far so good, on linux 64 bits (SUSE 12.1) and Windows 7 64 bits (with
32 bits python).

One minor annoyance with the completion popup: if you type "\" in the
middle of the buffer, nothing shows up (which is good, I don't want the
whole commands to be there it's too much of a mess). Type "b" and the
commands starting with b are showing up (which is also good).

Now hit backspace. You get the whole list. Type backspace again (so
there is nothing to complete) the popup is till there and pretty full.
You have to hit backspace again to make it go away (or click somewhere).
Now this is a bit more annoying. Not serious, but annoying ;)

Regards,
Richard.

You could also press escape or walk away with the cursor (left or
right).

I thought it is helpful to keep the popup on backspace, to stay
informed of all the available options. I could make it go away on
backspace when the completion prefix is empty (i.e. the cursor is at
the beginning of the popup and all completable items in the popup are
shown).

(You can disable the automatic popup in the Tools menu; then you must
Ctrl+Space to get the popup.)

Thanks for the feedback!
Wilbert
