No loss of data from upgrades has been reported in years. Every release includes database schema and database data migrations.

Only incompatibility issues were with some of the config file entries. These need to updated as explained in the release notes -> https://docs.mayan-edms.com/releases/3.2.html#backward-incom...

First round of UI navigation improvements! Yay!

The backend is rock solid, no question there. Glad to see the UI is getting some love. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! :)

I'm happy to announce that Open Paperless has been acquired by Mayan EDMS!

Mayan EDMS is the project upon which Open Paperless is built on. We are now an official Mayan EDMS product!

Not at the moment. I'm guessing this information is available in the EXIF properties?

It's a little bit more tricky than that. What the EXIF might tell you is the camera calibration parameters like focal length, distortion, perspective center, etc. That can be used to fix systematic errors in images like pincushion/barrel distortion.

To unwarp photos that were taken at odd angles you need to do some image processing. The mathematics aren't particularly difficult, it's a homography transform in most cases (rectangles). The problem is robustly detecting the page.

Dropbox has some nice write-ups on this: https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/08/fast-document-rectifi...

Thanks for the link. That blew my mind! I wish it could be added would, my phone would replace my scanner instantly.

Since others are commenting alternative apps, I'll chime in:

https://www.camscanner.com/

I've been using CamScanner on Android since forever. I only stopped a few months ago because I moved to iOS (and didn't realize it's also there).

It does the page detection fairly well, but also let's you correct it. Very useful, specially when the picture is bad. I then used to upload it to Dropbox.

Also see this for more implementation details: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2014/09/01/build-kick-ass-mobi...

This could be done server side if you're already doing ocr.

Wow this looks awesome, thank you!

Google Drive mobile app does this natively (at least on Android) there's a 'Scan' option when adding a file that will do it.

Scannable (by Evernote ) does this wonderfully. Allows exporting as pdf and storing wherever. I’m a fan.

The most complicated implementation I've seen has been Office Lens, which also corrects distortion and does edge detection.

No. It requires opencv and image processing

Right now you can enter comments for a document that's already uploaded. A few UI tweaks could be added to show the latest comment under the document preview.

Exporting to PDF sounds like a really good idea.

Thanks for the suggestion, will do!
