GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 371440
No need to say the app will give an error message
Last modified: 2006-12-08 16:47:04 UTC
Section 3.1. To Open A Document says: 'If you try to open a document with format that Evince Document Viewer does not recognize, the application displays an error message.' Well, duh. Cut this completely. It's patronizing and obvious. If the app DIDN'T display an error, that would be a bug in the app.
Confirming. The docs need an overhaul anyway. :)
