I personally use an online latex editor, namely http://www.verbosus.com which allows me to create and display a pdf directly is my browser. So there’s no need to install any Latex-software on my PC…

Hello,
Nice job.
I have few notes, I hope it will help other people:
I tried to install according to the README. (I have Ubuntu 9.04 running by AndLinux (on windows machine) ).
Since Poppler was not installed I tried to install according to the instructions, but got errors: such as:
“Package libpoppler2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.” “Package libpoppler-glib2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.”
After a while, and with the help of Synaptic, I found that the problem was that there are new versions and “2″ should be replaced by “4″. (Maybe it can be useful if the README will have a note about such things).
The bzr command also didn’t work: it said that there is no such branch. I tried to fix the version but nothing came out, so I used wget (found the url with google). The compilation didn’t succeed. I had to install dependencies “pkg-config” and “fontconfig”, but it didn’t found “fonfconfig”, even after I installed it manually, or with Synaptic.
The cure I found was to install everything that relates to Poppler with Synaptic. “fontconfig” was still not found, but dedigle was able to run, with a few warnings.

Thanks,
Almog

Great job.

I installed it and wished to move my LaTeX editing environment to desigle, but there are some usability issues that makes it really difficult to use. Do you plan to maintain it? If so, I’d be happy to report bugs and feature requests…
