Description Jens 2004-02-06 13:51:24 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.2.0,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040110 (prerelease) (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22b-w4l-p4

Hi,

I use Kile and Kghostview to produce my thesis. My .tex file is quite large and pdflatex on a P4-1800 takes about 30 seconds to render it (because there are lots of Matlab exported EPS->PDF files and lots of PNG files embedded I suppose).

during that time, KGhostview spams my desktop with "Opening of file diplomarbeit.pdf failed." pop up messages.

I would like KGhostview to:

- either (workaround) display this message only ONCE, wait until the user clicks OK, and only _THEN_ retry opening the file,

- or (better) display this message not as a popup, but as a status bar information, keep retrying until the file is readable again.


The current situation forces me to close six to ten "CAnnot open file" windows after each pdflatex run.


I reported this bug earlier (about half a year ago) but then kghostview crashed when the PDF changed. Now it only spams me with obvious and useless messages.



Thanks,

Jens
