Papra v0.3 - Folder Ingestion, Auto-Tagging Rules, and More!

Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to introduce the latest and most EXCITING version of Papra yet: Papra v0.3! 🎉 If you're not familiar with it yet, let’s take a moment to dive into what Papra is. It’s a minimalistic document management & archiving platform designed to be simple, INTUITIVE, and accessible to everyone — kind of like Paperless-ngx but with a fresh twist. Think of it as your digital archive for long-term document storage!

What’s New in Papra v0.3?

With this new release, we’ve added some MARVELOUS features that are sure to make your document management a breeze. Here’s what’s included:

1. Auto-Tagging Rules

One of the most notable additions is the Auto-tagging rules feature. This allows users to define specific per-organization rules that will automatically apply tags to documents based on their content and filenames. Imagine the time you’ll save! No more sorting through piles of files to tag them manually. Just set the rules once, and let Papra do the heavy lifting!

2. Folder Ingestion

Another fan-favorite feature that many users have requested is Folder ingestion. This lets you automatically import files from a folder on your server. So if you’ve got a bunch of files sitting around, you can now bring them into Papra in NO time! This feature is a game-changer, especially if you are dealing with heaps of documents.

Keeping track of your uploads is now much easier thanks to the new upload status popup. This feature shows you the upload progress, completion, and any errors that may occur. It’s transparent and helpful—perfect for ensuring everything is running smoothly as you upload your documents.

4. Improved Trash Management

Goodbye, clutter! Papra v0.3 comes with improved trash management to help you MANUALLY empty the trash directly from the UI. No more hunting for the delete button hidden deep within menus. Now, it’s all at your fingertips!

5. Various Improvements & Bug Fixes

Additionally, we’ve tackled several bug fixes and made various improvements to ensure a seamless user experience. The team has been working tirelessly to make Papra even more efficient.
