I have 2 feature requests that I would pay a bounty for.
See how the bounty for microG to get RCS message support goes:
Is this allowed here? Does Plasma have a system for these? I think this can be a great way similar to the “support your app development” last year, but for specific features.
The Features
Support for Overscan on Intel GPUs
Quite some time ago, I wondered why since the laptop switch, I couldnt fix weirdly cropped screen display on some TVs.
This is done via “overscan” and I was told that that exists within the amdgpu driver and doesnt exist for intel GPUs.
An alternative could be, to implement this feature using GPU acceleration, but without the feature officially supported.
I dont know what the issue is with shrinking the display output a bit, adding black borders to the sides until your the screen does not extend the physical screen edge.
The user inputs a value, either in percent (symmetric) or side by side in pixels.
This could be done in software (if feasible), or maybe using standard technology like mesa or whatnot.
OCR support in Okular
It is very common to get PDFs that simply contain images.
Okular is amazing but very limited. Adding basically what “GNOME Frog” does, to the program, allowing users to do a rectangle select or “select pages” with the option “all pages”.
Then the OCR runs over the image, overlaying the text on the right Positions.
There are tools like OCRMyPDF that can likely be reused.
I think they are now included in Paperless and gained quite some traction!
