[Bug 1410993] [NEW] Won't launch New Images if Already Open

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1393227 ***

Public bug reported:

The eog image viewer that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 works fine if you
double-click on ONE image from a file browsers.

However, if you navigate to another folder and then double-click on
another image, eog doesn't gain focus like you'd expect, and it stays
minimized on the Unity launcher bar.

Anytime you double-click on an picture-image-file (jpg, gif, png, etc.),
EOG should gain focus and its window should come to the front of the
window stack. Currently if the program is already open, it doesn't
handle new launchings very well.

I think it should either launch multiple instance when you doube-click
on a picture in a different folder, or it should focus and display the
last picture you double-click on from the file-browser.
