blazing-bookkeeper's Issues

Configuration of languages supported

Tesseract has a huge selection of trained data for most languages. In total, there's 1.5 GB of data. By default, we're just installing English and orientation trained data. There're a few ways we can make this easy for the user:

• Add a Preferences window where they can download the language they want support for
• Automatically detect language on platform and prompt if user wants support for said language

This might go hand-in-hand with i18n, which is something we haven't looked at yet.

Version 1.0.0 release

These are the missing steps for the release:

• Clean up (#21)
• Make travis artifacts upload to draft release work
• Code signing
• Update link on blazingbookkeeper.com
• Get notification on bug and crash reports
• Finish and use danschultzer/receipt-scanner#30
• Update to tesseract 4.0.0 It adds a new OCR engine based on LSTM neural networks
• Merge OpenCV upstream (#22) https://github.com/peterbraden/node-opencv/tree/available-modules
• Bump version

Upgrade to Vue 2.0

Based on #12, we need to upgrade to Vue 2.0.

There're quite a few things that need to be changed.

A quick review can be done by running the following:

$ npm install --global git://github.com/vuejs/vue-migration-helper.git
$ vue-migration-helper  app

This outputs the following:

1. Update data-index="{{ file.index }}" to v-bind:data-index="file.index"
  Line 45: app/app.html
  Reason: Interpolation within attributes has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Interpolation-within-Attributes

2. Update value="{{ file.progressBar }}" to v-bind:value="file.progressBar"
  Line 78: app/app.html
  Reason: Interpolation within attributes has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Interpolation-within-Attributes

3. Replace {{{ successRateLabel }}} with v-html="successRateLabel" on a containing element
  Line 106: app/app.html
  Reason: HTML interpolation with {{{ }}} has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#HTML-Interpolation-deprecated

4. Replace this.files.$set(index, this.files[index]) with Vue.set(this.files, index, this.files[index])
  Line 405: app/app.js
  Reason: Array extensions for the reactivity system have been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Array-prototype-set-deprecated

5. Update placeholder="{{ (new Date).toISOString().substring(0, 10); }}" to v-bind:placeholder="(new Date).toISOString().substring(0, 10);"
  Line 21: app/edit.html
  Reason: Interpolation within attributes has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Interpolation-within-Attributes

6. Update value="{{ (file.result.updated || {}).amount || file.result.parsed.amount }}" to v-bind:value="(file.result.updated || {}).amount || file.result.parsed.amount"
  Line 25: app/edit.html
  Reason: Interpolation within attributes has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Interpolation-within-Attributes

7. Update alt="{{ file.file.path }}" to v-bind:alt="file.file.path"
  Line 34: app/edit.html
  Reason: Interpolation within attributes has been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Interpolation-within-Attributes

8. Replace this.files.$set(index,this.files[index]) with Vue.set(this.files, index, this.files[index])
  Line 37: app/specs.js.autogenerated
  Reason: Array extensions for the reactivity system have been deprecated
  More info: http://rc.vuejs.org/guide/migration.html#Array-prototype-set-deprecated

Vue also removes the defined Vue element and throws an error about the render function not being defined when the app is started.

90%+ code coverage

We should aim for 90%+ code coverage. It's in the works right now.

Remove npm-shrinkwrap

Remove npm-shrinkwrap when node-opencv has been updated. We need to revert 5ba73a9 once the node-openv branch has been merged in to master.

Ref: #7

issue with large number of files

Hi,

I uploaded a long list of files (around 100 pdf files). Blazing bookkeeper can process 6 files ok, then it stop working without any problem. Would you please help to take a look?

Thanks

Display errors in edit window

It's a little annoying to wait for hover tooltip on parse errors in the fileList view. The error message should probably show up in the edit menu when double clicking, or maybe double clicking on that cell will just pop up a small error message.

Update dependency URLs in build script

The build currently fails after #41 was merged because some of the dependencies in the build scripts are no longer accessible. The URL's just need to be updated.

Error reporting

We need error reporting in production. There's a crash reporter we can use: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/crash-reporter.md

I don't think it'll work with just random exceptions, though. We'll need to figure out a way to do automated error reports, eventually opening them as issues in this repo.

Abandoned?

@danschultzer This repo isn't being maintained anymore, is it?

It's too bad, it looks like a fantastic project, and really the only FOSS receipt scanner around that actually works (Smart Receipts, the closest runner up, hasn't actually successfully implemented OCR yet afaik). The 1.0.0 goal looks really cool, especially with the inclusion of Tesseract 4, but if it's not feasible then it's not feasible :/

The thing that makes me saddest is that there's no Windows release. As an Electron app, it's awesome that this is platform-independent, but after a few hours of research I still have no idea how I'd actually go about building this using Electron-Builder and npm. Is there any chance you could publish a Windows release of the current version (or help me figure out how to do it?)

Bundle binaries

We need to bundle the following binaries in the app:

• opencv3
• poppler
• tesseract

Auto updater

Electron has autoUpdater which we should implement to automatically update the app with new releases: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/auto-updater.md
