Description Bryan W Clark 2004-07-19 05:10:23 UTC
This is the bug representing the ui-review of the gpdf for the 2.7/2.8
release of GNOME
Comment 1 Bryan W Clark 2004-07-19 05:11:43 UTC
Summary of discussion:


General
	Page fit are application level settings that are kept between uses

Outline Page View

	if preview thumbnails exist:
		
		-size-view-
		auto-fit to the size that is remembered
			if no size, then make one column size

	elif auto-thumbnail is fast:	# probably impossible to really detect
		goto -size-view-

	else:
		just have a textual list of pages, displaying headers if possible?

Outline Page Navigation

	clicking on area of page takes the view to that area
		( grabbing viewport and sliding it can be done if mouse button is held, but
otherwise not necessary for nav )

	current page remains in the center of view so that the next and previous pages
are both in view
		( does not go to edge of view unless it is the last or first slide )
		( previous and next pages are in sight and not offscreen )

Fullscreen View
	
	If outline view:
		hide outline view

	use preference of page fit for sizing

	hide 'Exit Fullscreen' button after a few seconds
		reapear on mouse movement, not keyboard event or mouse click
		Contains Previous Page / Next Page buttons

	right click menu popup shows
		- Next Page
		- Previous Page
		----
		- Zoom Controls

The following are observations that I meant to bring up at the UI review, but I
didn't make it, so I'm just sticking them here. To be clear, these *haven't*
been discussed or blessed by the UI review people.

- The status bar is never used by the application.

- There is no obvious way to get back to 100% zoom, or to find out what zoom
level you are at.

- There is no way to find the paper size for the PDF you're currently viewing.

- In properties, what is the difference between creator and producer, and what
does optimized mean? Why would a user want to know about creator, producer, PDF
version or optimized?
Comment 4 Stefan Ihringer 2004-07-25 09:07:53 UTC
Just came across this bug and I think I can clear up the creator vs. producer 
bit: Both are properties set by the application that created the PDF file. 
Browsing some of my PDFs with Acrobat Reader I found these examples:

Creator: Microsoft Word
Producer: Acrobat PDFWriter 4.05 for Windows

Creator: Adobe Illustrator
Producer: Adobe PDF Library 4.0

Creator: LaTeX with hyperref and pdfscreen
Producer: pdfTeX-0.14h

Creator: n/a
Producer: OpenOffice.org 1.1.0

Creator: n/a
Producer: Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5 (Windows)

So, it seems as if the application exporting the PDF should set the "Creator" 
property. This application usually delegates this task to a library or tool 
which then sets the "Producer" property. Why a user would want to know about 
that is beyond me, but since these are standard PDF properties there might as 
well be a dialog to display them.

Another thing: What about displaying the paper size in the status bar? That's 
how the Acrobat Reader does it on windows.

Closing this out now.
