GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 755244
Some entries of the popovermenu entry should be grayed when no image opened
Last modified: 2019-02-22 03:17:17 UTC
When you launch Eog from the Shell (or from a shell), no image is opened. Then, the popovermenu’s entry “Open with…” should be greyed; same for “Reload image” and “Fit to width” (this last one prints a critical error in stderr).
The "Open with" entry is a known problem and can currently not be disabled due to the way the popover is built. The other entries you mention are from plugins and need to be handled there.
Fixed for eog-plugins: commit dbd6247cafcab3c81c0f554067d1e2a91276a7b8 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 16:09:34 2015 +0200 export-to-folder: Only enable action if there's something to export Nothing would happen in that case anyway. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244 commit de573cf3e960daec249733be71c696b63174a075 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 15:36:22 2015 +0200 postasa: Disable upload action if no images are selected Nothing would happen, so don't offer it. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244 commit 39e8d056aa2ebfabf353cf607e517338fcb5c57e Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 15:14:31 2015 +0200 postr: Disable action if no images are selected https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244 commit f0310c403fbf5d69087ec2b08ebf444894def23a Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 14:51:34 2015 +0200 send-by-mail: Only enable action if an image is selected The result is not really nice if used without selection. Evolution for example will open with an error message. Will also avoid offering the action if no image is loaded. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244 commit bb2f47cb8f8e41e566c349a1fd896f663541c50f Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 13:42:47 2015 +0200 fit-to-width: Only enable plugin action if zoom is enabled If the default zoom actions are not enabled it is unlikely the fit-to-width zoom should be enabled as well. Also fixes a critical warning if eog is started without an image. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244
And fixed the reload plugin as well. commit cf429103e1544c8c9de17110a29e1a7e7734dfba Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Sep 29 16:33:42 2015 +0200 reload: Only offer reload option if there's something to reload https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755244 --- This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
