That's great. Thanks so much!

Roberto: Can you read my post again? I think you answered a different question than the one I asked. I understand the limitations/problems with flagging OCR content, which is why I'm not asking for that. I'd like to trigger a workflow transition when a process to remove ALL OCR content (not just a s...

Roberto: On a somewhat related topic, could you add the option to remove parsing data or OCR data from a document? This can be done from the Django admin panel, but it would be nice to do it from within Mayan. I'm imagining two options in the document Actions dropdown menu like "Remove OCR" and "Rem...

"gcc" was the missing piece. Thanks.

It looks like I mis-diagnosed the source of the problem. I thought it was the loading of the settings module, but it is actually tied to the installation of the packages needed for LDAP. Starting a container with: -e MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS="libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev" -e MAYAN_PIP_INSTALLS="py...

Mayan is pretty good at importing the files using the web upload interface, but occasionally some of the files in a batch will error out. Errors get triggered for vario...

When viewing indexes, Mayan includes three pieces of information: the title of the tree level, the number of levels, and the number of documents. Screen Shot 2019-04-05 at 2.52.42 PM.png To my mind, the levels metric is completely irrelevant because it includes every branch down the tree, not just t...

It's actually incredibly simple, but the lack of documentation complicates things. Here's what you need. First, create your settings file (ldap_settings.py or whatever). Your simple configuration file should be sufficient for testing. Second, save it to the correct location for your deployment (dire...
