GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611625
Empty files should not be treated as text/plain
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:48:25 UTC
When Evince is asked to open an empty files it complains that it does not support text/plain files. It should instead complain about the fact that the requested file is empty. To reproduce: $ touch x.pdf $ evince x.pdf evince complains with "Unable to open document" and "File type plain text document (text/plain) is not supported".
Yes I can confirm this report attach the console output fabio@megatron:~$ touch x.pdf fabio@megatron:~$ evince x.pdf `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) `menu_proxy_module_load': evince: undefined symbol: menu_proxy_module_load (evince:3138): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: (null) Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway) Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
