Hello, First, I can confirm there is a noticeable difference in the latest trunk, after I reported a bug about RAM memory. Of course, this could be improved to patch any memory leaks and make qpdfview as lightweight as possible.
Second, I considered this a good time to test the the browser PDF plugin I suggested, using the latest trunk. Basically used the following command to create a copy of the plugin in the standard place for plugins (that is recognized by Opera, Mozilla and Chrome): bzr branch lp:qpdfview trunk && bzr branch lp:~adamreichold/qpdfview/plugin plugin && cd plugin && qmake && make && sudo cp libqpdfview-plugin.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ (For other users: Of course, you can apply it in your directory of choice and then you can delete the directories that are created if you wish) Well, the following are the conclusion of my testing so far: 1) In Opera and Chrome, the plugin is recognized and if enabled (actually it is enabled by default), it works correctly. Of course, it is quite basic at the moment; basically it looks like chrome PDF plugin (the original scale by default), but without the controls. I wonder, based on my comments about making qdfview work with mozplugger, if something else can be done at the moment; at least creating some controls (the way chrome PDF plugin does is wonderful, maybe something like that can be replicated or even improved allowing more ways to control the PDF, given the quality of qpdfview). 2) In Mozilla, I had some problems to make the plugin work. It didn't appear in the preferences menu (it appeared in the about:plugins, but not in the preferences to choose if enable it or disable it). And it is always in second place of priorities behind mozplugger. So I had to disable mozplugger, remove some files to recognize mimetypes in my profile and start again. Once I was able to make it work, it worked like in the other browsers. Kudos to Adam for this great program, and hopefully the browser plugin idea can be realized in future releases, it would be very good publicity and also a great addition. And I will continue testing the best PDF viewer in Linux ... Thanks for your attention,
