Hi, Recoll 1.18.0 is ready. As this release contains significant code changes, it would be great if a few adventurous souls could give it a try before I perform the general release and the kind Linux packagers work on it. Main changes in the release: - The searches can now be made sensitive to character case and accents. This is optional, and off by default. - Information about page numbers is retained for a number of formats, most importantly PDF. There is a new snippets window which allows starting the viewer on the right page, and with a primed search string, so that starting a search will instantly highlight the search term. This currently only works fully with the "evince" viewer (because it has the appropriate command line options). Okular has only partial support. - Advanced search history is retained. You can walk the history by using the Up and Down arrows in the advanced search window. - etc. More detail in the release notes: http://www.recoll.org/release-1.18.html There are binary packages ready for Ubuntu and Mint Linux users on the recoll "experimental" PPA: https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/experiments To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:recoll-backports/experiments sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install recoll To revert: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/recoll-backports-experiments* sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove recoll sudo apt-get install recoll You can also do this in one of the graphical front-ends of course, but I find it rather more difficult... For other distributions, you can build from the source code: http://www.recoll.org/recoll-1.18.0.tar.gz Or, if this is complicated for you, send me a message with your Linux distribution and version, and, thanks to VirtualBox, I should be able to build a package for you. Cheers, jf
