Description Matthias Clasen 2011-03-13 03:31:11 UTC
Filed against Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682627

If I launch Evince without opening any PDFs, the "Open Containing Folder" menu
item is available.  It should be "greyed out" as that option cannot do anything
if there are no files open.

Secondly, when I use it after opening a PDF, it launches a KDE program called
Filelight.  Since I am running it under GNOME, it should open the directory in
Nautilus.  Filelight is some kind of disk usage analysis tool so I am not sure
why it would be called on at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-2.91.90-1.fc15.x86_64

Fixed in git master now.

We use gtk_show_uri() so I don't think it's an evince issue.

I am closing this bug because the acknowledged part of the bug was already fixed and the other one does not seem to be in evince.
