GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 356645
Open File does not reload already open file
Last modified: 2006-09-19 04:22:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: The 'Open' menu entry does nothing if a file of the same path/name is already open. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a pdf document in evince. 2. Modify/replace the pdf without changing its name 3. Select File/Open from the menu and select the new file. Actual results: The document will not be reloaded. Expected results: I would expect evince to re-open the document. The same is true for the dbus method OpenURI, i would expect it to reload an already opened file. Does this happen every time?
