[Bug 626142] Re: evince will not launch external programs in presentation mode

 

Thanks Giampiero, 11.04 is based on GNOME 2.32 and not GNOME3 so it's
not likely we will do that, especially that it's not a lts version and
that 11.10 is available and what most non-lts-users run

Title:
  evince will not launch external programs in presentation mode

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Fix Released
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  PROBLEM: when viewing a PDF file with associated external content,
  such as a movie, evince will launch the external helper application
  when in normal or full screen mode, but will not do so in presentation
  mode. When in normal or full screen mode, the mouse pointer changes
  from an arrow to a finger, and the tooltip "launch ......" will
  appear. When in presentation mode, the mouse pointer never changes
  shape, and clicking on the embedded link merely causes the
  presentation to advance to the next page.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: evince should launch the external application in
  presentation mode, the same way it does in the normal and full screen
  modes.

  TO REPRODUCE: Download attachment. Unpack in separate folder. Open
  test.pdf with evince. Clicking on the image on page 2 will launch the
  movie storm.mov in normal and full screen modes. It will fail to do so
  in presentation mode.

  REPRODUCIBLE: 100%
