Incremental Video and PDF functionality

[alessivs]

org-noter is good. I rely on it for documents that have text layers (OCRed or digitally produced). You can write an elisp macro to automate pasting to SuperMemo (or at least put stuff into the clipboard); or accumulate clipboard captures witht CopyQ, then dump all at once into SM. Or if you prefer Zathura you can script it as well (I recommend the mupdf backend). I've already planned documenting some of these paths.

As for video, I haven't explored enough, though I remain receptive to others' recommendations. It's hard to find videos which don't involve huge wastes of time to extract little value; more so in the influencer, product-shill, content-free age. I don't have a huge motivator to explore further.

I'll be going down the org-noter, elisp scripts and clipboard route for PDF
Thanks!

Do you know of way for SM to programmatically open a PDF in an emacs buffer when the topic associated to that PDF is selected? I found a lot of value in having this PDF support with SMA (SuperMemo Assistant).

It's that initial link between SM and emacs that I don't know how to establish.

This is achievable with file associations and hyperlinks, in conjunction with `org-protocol`, or SuperMemo scripts that play at browse time. Like everything else, it's not available out of the box. Feel free to explore; I need to gather notes and do further testing before I get to document it. For me, updating the installers and moving this project has more priority right now; documentation is next.

OK, thanks alessivs!
