From 5890d1855e64879baf5d0621631055f600bfd195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "James R. Barlow" Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:55:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix Python API producing empty OCR due to tesseract_timeout defaulting to 0 OcrOptions.tesseract_timeout defaulted to 0.0, which caused subprocess.run(timeout=0) to immediately raise TimeoutExpired before Tesseract could produce any output. The CLI was unaffected because argparse defaults --tesseract-timeout to 180. Change the OcrOptions default to None so the plugin's own default (180s) is used.
