Since several days AskTheCode is unable to compile a simple program, prepared by itself, namely has_composite_shapes.cpp. The repository is now quite a mess after chaotic experiments: https://github.com/jsbien/labelshapes. FYI, this is the link to the chat https://chatgpt.com/share/686e7fc0-0f14-800d-985b-dee2719899ab; the last advice also doesn't work.

Invalid typedef in GString.h breaks C++ builds with modern compilers

I would be very happy to be able to extract easily graphic snippets (say in png format) identified by a possibly long list of URLs like this Hebrew(?) string in an old dictionary (for the purpose of OCR). The most elegant way would be to extend ddjvu to handle pagespec not only in the form of page numbers, but also in the form of full URLs (for simplification to local files only). I guess requesting such an extensions would be unrealistic, so I would appreciate any suggestions to solve the problem....

I have described the problem in details at http://teksty.klf.uw.edu.pl/11/ and provided the problematic files. When executing a script djvused doesn't issue any error messages, but in the resulting document text layer hierarchy is corrupt. The script is generated by ocrodjvu, so perhaps it is a culprit: cf. https://bitbucket.org/jwilk/ocrodjvu/issue/12/ocrodjvu-creates-an-incorrect-djvused. However, if the script is incorrect, I would like to know what is exactly wrong. Perhaps it is just too big?...

I've created rather sophisticated bookmarks for the dictionary at http://korpusy.klf.uw.edu.pl/djvus/linde-t/01/index.djvu. They work as intended on Linux with djview4 as the browser plugin, but on Windows the Caminova (now DjVu Universe?) plugin is unable to handle them correctly. Is this the Caminova plugin bug? Is there a better forum to ask about the Caminova plugin? Anyway, can the problem be somehow circumvented? Most of the reders of the dictionary use Windows and djview4 doesn't work as a...

I come back to this old topic because I've just noticed that the Caminowa plugin cannot handle the outline at http://korpusy.klf.uw.edu.pl/djvus/linde-t/01/index.djvu? What is the reason the djview4 doesn't work as a browser plugin? Is coding it so difficult or time-consuming?

The problem appeared not related to the file format, it is now fixed.
