Version: 0.13.2 (using KDE 3.1.0) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-4GB Hi, Try this: Go to the settings in kghostview, and change the path to the intepreter (/usr/bin/gs) in to something completely wrong (e.g. /usr/bin/whois). Then start an KDE application, hit the print button and choose the option of a print preview. Kghostview is started, but shows an empty preview, with a busy cursor. When kghostview is closed, the kde application from where we tried to print the preview crashes. Same with kghostview itself, when opening a ps-file kghostview shows an empty page, with a busy cursor, and crashes when closing the application. Kind regards, Rinse

Subject: kdegraphics/kghostview CVS commit by luis_pedro: Whenever gs dies unexpected, pop-up a message telling the user about it. This also shows the error messages which have come from gs. CCMAIL: 56521@bugs.kde.org M +20 -0 kgv_view.cpp 1.121 M +1 -0 kgv_view.h 1.61 M +5 -2 kpswidget.cpp 1.110 M +5 -0 kpswidget.h 1.65 M +14 -3 logwindow.cpp 1.3 M +4 -1 logwindow.h 1.3
In HEAD right now you get a dialog message when gs fails with a link to configure ghostscript, so I think this problem can be considered fixed. I wondered whether to just redo the automatic reconfiguration whenever there is a failure, but I don't like those things. There is a way to directly go to the configuration menu and then a button. This is better, I think, respect the users right to do things wrong while giving them a clear way for the app to try and help.
