How can I use python extesions?

[NailGit]

I found Python extensions https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek-python-extensions , and installed them by python3 -m pip install sioyek. Could you explain a little bit more about how to use them? I'm interested in a dual-pages extension. I compiled Sioyek and copied binary in /usr/local/bin. I put in the pref_user file new_command _dual_panelify python -m sioyek.dual_panelify "%{sioyek_path}" "%{file_path}" "%{command_text}". The command _dual_panelify appears but it does not work.

You can run the command

python -m sioyek.dual_panelify "%{sioyek_path}" "%{file_path}" "%{command_text}"

(after replacing %{} variables with the correct values). In the command line and see if there are any errors.

If the command works in the terminal it should also work within sioyek. Did you modify the command in any way (except replacing the paths) to make it work?

I used command python3 -m sioyek.dual_panelify "/path/to/sioiyek" "/path/to/file" "25 -40" . But I do not understand - each time I must put the specific file to this command in sloiyek? I respected that I could use a dual regime and switch off it for any file without changing the command.

No, sioyek would automatically replace the "%{}" variables with the correct paths.

It starts to work with the command new_command _dual_panelify python3 -m sioyek.dual_panelify "%{sioyek_path}" "%{file_path}" "25 -40". It works strangely - the dual regime is opened in a new window of Sioyek and a new file file_dual_panel.pdf is created. After closing the dual regime window, this file is not deleted. It is not convenient.

You wrote that you have a plan to implement a dual regime in Sioyek. It is better to make a dual regime in the same window as in the majority of viewers without new file creation.

Sioyek doesn't support dual panel right now. It is explained in the description of the extension that a dual panel version of current file is created.
