Eike Kettner b265421a46 Allow to use the browser's pdf viewer 
The viewerjs library has some limitations. Sometimes PDFs are quite
blurry and some content is displayed scrambled. Switching to the
browsers build-in PDF viewer (for chromium and firefox) fixes this. So
while on mobile the viewerjs is the only working viewer, for desktop
use it might be desireable to use the browsers builtin viewer instead.

Changelog

v0.4.0

unknown

  • Support for archive files. Archives, for example zip files, contain the files that should go into docspell. Docspell now extracts archives and adds the content to an item. The extraction process is recursive, so there may be zip files in zip files. File types supported:
    • zip every file inside is added to one item as attachment
    • eml (RCF822 E-Mail files) E-mails are considered archives, since they may contain multiple files (body and attachments).
  • Periodic Tasks framework: Docspell can now run tasks periodically based on a schedule. This is not yet exposed to the user, but there are some system cleanup jobs to start with.
  • Improvement of the text analysis. For my test files there was a increase in accuracy by about 10%.
  • A due date that is found during text analysis is now set on the item. If multiple due dates are found, the earliest one is used.
  • Allow to switch between viewerjs PDF viewer or the browser's builtin viewer.
