OCRFeeder issue:

Post by SuffolkPunch »

He,

I'm running OCRFeeder v 0.8.1 in Linux Mint 18.3 (64 bit, Cinnamon).

The issue: If I start OCRFeeder by clicking on its desktop icon it launches, and imports and displays pdf pages. But, when I click 'Automatically detect and recognise all pages' and click on a blue rectangle containing text and click 'OCR' nothing happens. The OCR text box remains completely blank. I'm using Tesseract, which works fine in the terminal.

My fix: I open a terminal, and enter 'ocrfeeder', OCRFeeder launches, and imports and display pdf pages, AND OCR now works!

This is just a minor irritant - but I would like to understand why the difference.

Can anyone help?
