I love screencasts! Here is short feature preview about two new features that will be introduced in Papermerge 2.1 (work in progress)

The features I am speaking about are:

Download searchable PDFs (thanks to awesome OCRmyPDF)
Dual Panel Mode - cut/pasting of the documents will be obsolete - you will just drag'n drop documents/folder/panges from one panel into another (or select context menu -> move to other panel).

Please keep in mind that current repository is for keeping track of the issues, news, wiki and discussions.
Papermerge's codebase was split into many smaller repositories - all of which are now part of github repository organization.
The latest backend changes (i.e. development version) are being added to development branch of papermerge-core package.

Notice that frontend code was also refactored into many npm packages, here is a list of most important frontend packages:

Dual Commander JS - Frontend's dual panel document browser. Nodejs package available here.
Commander JS - Frontend's single panel document browser (used by dual commander). Nodejs package available here.
Viewer JS - Frontend's document viewer (used by Dual Commander). NodeJS package available here.
Uploader JS - Frontend's uploader component (used by Commander JS). NodeJS package available here.
Symposium JS - A mini (javascript) framework used across all papermerge frontend code. NodeJS package available here.
