GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 585403
Not able to run a single evince instance
Last modified: 2009-06-11 08:33:06 UTC
Hi, I'm trying to run my newly built evince, but I can't run it, because it always creates another widget from a already running evince instance. I expected to be able to run the binary w/o having it connected to the old evince process. The help looks like this: $ jhbuild run evince --help-all Usage: evince [OPTION...] [FILE...] GNOME Document Viewer Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-sm-client Show session management options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options Session management options: --sm-client-disable Disable connection to session manager --sm-client-state-file=FILE Specify file containing saved configuration --sm-client-id=ID Specify session management ID GTK+ Options --class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager --name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager --screen=SCREEN X screen to use --gdk-debug=FLAGS Gdk debugging flags to set --gdk-no-debug=FLAGS Gdk debugging flags to unset --sync Make X calls synchronous --gtk-module=MODULES Load additional GTK+ modules --g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal --gtk-debug=FLAGS GTK+ debugging flags to set --gtk-no-debug=FLAGS GTK+ debugging flags to unset Application Options: -p, --page-label=PAGE The page of the document to display. -f, --fullscreen Run evince in fullscreen mode -s, --presentation Run evince in presentation mode -w, --preview Run evince as a previewer -l, --find=STRING The word or phrase to find in the document --display=DISPLAY X display to use $ And even if any of those options would trigger my desired behaviour, it'd need a more appropriate description.
There is no such option.
