Excerpts from Rob Sargent's message of mié ago 10 20:17:21 +0200 2011: > I'm using GNOME Document Viewer 2.32.0. Prior to updating to this rev > (from which rev I'm not sure, sorry) I could use File:Open-a-Copy to get > a new window with somefile-0.pdf in the window banner. When I loaded a > new version of somefile.pdf, the somefile-0.pdf would retain the > original version. Now Open-a-copy makes a new window with same banner > (somefile.pdf, no "-0") and is also updated when I make a new version of > the pdf. I used the old feature extensively for comparison purposes. > (I would overlay the two versions to detect minor layout differences, > relying on opacity to see both directly over top of each other). In previous versions we used a symlink, that's why we needed a different filename, so that a new document object was created for the new file (the symlink) that was never notified about modifications (because the symlink itself never changed). Now we simply create a new window with the same document object, since the document is shared, both windows are notified when the document changes. Maybe the name 'open a copy' is confusing now, since it's not a copy at all, is just another view for the same document. > Is there any work-around to get the old behaviour back? Any clue as to > which (latest) old version I could re-install? > The only I think I can think of is that you create the symlink yourself and open another evince instance for the it.
