HI, I have severely been affected by evince due to its hanging and then freezing behaviour while opening multiple pdf files. If I am in a presentnio mode of pdfs, then the freezing of files is really problemetic. Also there is no shortcut for force kill. Although I have made a lounching icon of force quit, which is availabe in Ubuntu, on the top panel. But this also not working now a days. A simple solution I came up with is as below: (1) create a file kill.sh (2) write "xkill" inside it. (3) make the file executable in terminal as : $ chmod +x xkill.sh (4) put this file in the directory say e.g.: /home/dinesh/xkill.sh (5) now right click on the desktop > change settings > All settings > Hardware> keyboard > shortcuts > custum shortcuts (6) click on the '+' sign. An small window will pop up in which two items have to be filled i.e. 'Name' and 'Command'. In 'Name' write any thing say "kill" and in "command" give the path of that file i.e. "/home/dinesh/xkill.sh" and then push button "Apply". (7) The "kill" line will appear in custom shortcuts. Now right click at the 2nd entry of the highlighted option (i.e."kill" one) of the menu. Now use some shortcut e.g. shift+F12. It will be registerd there.
done. Now open any pdf in presentation mode/ or normal mode (or any other application). Use shortcut which has been assigned above (in our case, as above, is shift+F12). Doing this the mouse cursur will appear as "+" symbol. Whichever application it will be put and left clicked, the applicaiton will be forcly quit. A right click will represent "escape the quiting operation." i.e. do not quit. best Dinesh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087206 Title: Evince often hangs on close Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When closing an Evince 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.4 window, it often happens that the window remains open but stops responding to events. This is not document-dependent, as this behaviour is seen for different documents, for at least both PDF and EPS documents, and the same document sometimes shows this behaviour, and sometimes doesn't.
