Fix configuration with ligbnome-desktop (858 bytes, patch)
2014-11-19 10:02 UTC, Marek Kašík 		committed Details | Review

Description José Aliste 2014-07-25 09:26:54 UTC 
When in recent view mode and opening a new document (from the recent list), not currently open, the recent view thumbnails get resets and then reload... Since reloading them is slow. This shouldn't happen, as when opening a new document as the recent list is not changing, no?
Comment 1 Carlos Garcia Campos 2014-07-25 10:00:12 UTC 
That's probably because you don't have libgnome-desktop, required to cache the thumbnails.

Maybe it is caused by a typo in configure.ac. I get this when building evince for fedora with the libgnome-desktop support enabled:

checking for LIBGNOME_DESKTOP... yes
./configure: line 19439: has_libgnome_desktop: command not found

It works for me with the attached patch.

I've just tested it again and it seems that the reload still happens but it is much faster now since the caching works so I didn't noticed it on this computer (with just few documents on it).
The original problem is not fixed fully yet (it doesn't re-render all the thumbnails now).

Do you still want me to push it? (I still think that it is a valid patch)
Comment 5 Carlos Garcia Campos 2014-11-21 16:44:55 UTC 
Yes, please, push to both branches, the reload is the normal way to work at the moment.

Thank you for the review. I've pushed the patch to master and gnome-3-14 branches.
