setup.py is missing out package 'admin'

I’ve installed papermerge through setup.py but the resulting package is missing out ‘admin’ and isn’t starting.

A workaround to for this is to copy papermerge/contrib into build/lib/papermerge before running python setup.py build and python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 --skip-build later.

I actually did create all necessary PKGBUILDs for Arch Linux but currently I’m not happy with Papermerge after some fiddling around so I think I’m not going to push them into the AUR.

I’m coming from Paperwork and while I’m still happy with it I wanted to look into similar project with multi user capability.

So here’s a list with things which aren’t ideal IMHO:

• In contrast to Paperwork or Docspell this uses a folder base approach and is really bad at it:
  • It’s missing drag and drop or a context menu which adds five extra steps to every process. Automation helps here but you can’t automate all of them in advance.
    • While cutting and moving pages also has the same problem it’s nice to have it and I don’t see another good way to do this. You don’t see this feature that often.
  • Modal popup input fields don’t get automatic text focus.
• Having a multi user setup is pointless if only the superuser inbox is usable.
  • Fetching emails has to be a user setting.
  • Maybe watch subdirs for users?
• Lack of feedback everywhere
  • Nothing happens when uploading finished.
  • Reloading the page and looking in the document is missing selectable text. Has processing failed or is it still on it? Do I have to retry? How do I let it process the document again? (It’s possible to get some of the information in the log section but only if it was somewhat successful)
• Scrolling documents to the bottom is a pain. The site has 4 (!) vertical and 3 horizontal scroll bars which activate one after another until you’re finally at the bottom.
• No fuzzy search. OCR often falsely recognizes characters or words or both and having a fuzzy search is crucial. A bit less than for Paperwork or Docspell because Papermerge uses folders but still important. (Search you demo for “Gesamtbetrag”, which it indexed as “Gesantbetrag”)
• The right side menu (meta) is ugly compared to the other elements.
• Automation based on pages will probably bite me later by ripping documents apart. Haven’t tried that feature yet though.
• Minor thing: No dark theme.
