Bug#448445: print preview broken: Unknown option --print-settings in evince

2007-10-31 Thread Andreas J Guelzow
This is really a configuration issue. 

Some things to note:
Newer versions of evince understand the --print-settings option
Gnumeric does not pass this option to evince. We just hand-off printing
(and previewing) to Gtk. Gtk then calls the appropriate pdf viewer. WHat
is the appropriate previewer can be configured in 
.gtkrc-2.0
located in your home directory.
The important entry is:
gtk-print-preview-command=evince --unlink-tempfile --preview %f
the above line should work for most older versions of evince. Of ocurse
you can also use other programs such as:
gtk-print-preview-command=gv %f
or
gtk-print-preview-command=xpdf -q %f

Note that evince is preferred since gtk creates temporary files and
--unlink-tempfile tells evince to delete them. The otehr commands will
keep those temporary pdf files around.

Bug#448445: print preview broken: Unknown option --print-settings in evince

2007-10-28 Thread Drew Parsons
Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.7.13-1
Severity: normal

Print preview is now broken.  There is no response after
pressing the Print Preview button.

Starting gnumeric from the command line, the following message gets
thrown to stderr:

** (gnumeric:31528): WARNING **: Working around gtk+ bug 423484.

** (gnumeric:31528): WARNING **: Down and across requested, but
printing across then down.
Unknown option --print-settings
Run 'evince --help' to see a full list of available command line
options.

I presume the first down  across warning is beside the point, but
the actual error is seen in Unknown option --print-settings. 
Run 'evince --help'

It would seem gnumeric is passing the wrong options to evince, which
handles the preview, so evince is not starting and therefore no
preview appears.

I think this bug is new in gnumeric 1.7, I seem to remember preview
was recently working before the upgrade.
