pdf-tools VS dwim-shell-command

Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Possibly: Org-noter and/or PDF Tools.

You can install pdf-tools https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools

If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.

Pdf-view let you annotate the document. See https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools for more features. There are also quiet a few packages that work with pdf-tools.

Under the hood everything uses pdftools -- you can do highlights and other annotations but they live in the original pdf.

- https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).

- https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.

- https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.

- https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.

- https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.

- https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox

A fairly friction-free one that keeps on giving is a package I wrote (dwim-shell-command) to make it easy to apply shell commands to single or multiple dired files or current buffer, without really having to think about the command itself.

I took two pictures (front and back) of a product. I wanted a single picture with front and back side to side. Not something I'll need frequently, but I'll never need to look this up again (now have my own command). With dwim-shell-command it's easy to add.

Basic command line utility integrations are pretty simple with dwim-shell-command.

Will write it up at some point... tl;dr built macosrec (command-line utility) and hooked it up to Emacs via dwim-shell-command. I'm trialing the following bindings:

dwim-shell-commands-rename-all is now in dwim-shell-commands.el.

Looking into it, but cant' reproduce with GIMP-2.10. How did you install it on your mac? I installed via `brew install gimp`. May be better to follow-up in the issue itself.
