Description of problem:

The GNOME (yelp) documentation for GEdit states, in the section
"Features / Piping the Output of a Command to a File":

----------
You can use gedit to pipe the output of a command to a text file. For example, 
to pipe the output of an ls command to a text file, type ls | gedit, then press 
Return.

The output of the ls command is displayed in a new text file in the gedit 
window.
----------

That functionality does not currently work in gedit 2.24.3 on either of
my installed Fedora 10 systems (i386, x86_64). Near as I can tell, it
hasn't worked anytime recently.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.24.3-3.fc10.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "ls | gedit"
2.
3.
  

Actual results:
Empty "Unsaved Document 1"


Expected results:
"Unsaved Document 1" (or another title?) containing the output of the 'ls' 
command


Additional info:

Either the stdin-to-new-document functionality should be fixed, or the
documentation should be adjusted to omit description of this nonfeature.

This has apparently been living in GNOME's bugzilla since 2003 (GNOME
2.2.x), and on 2009-01-01 it was morphed into an enhancement request by
Paolo Borelli ([email protected]), a GEdit developer. That seems to
imply it's not a simple fix; I don't know why they don't just remove the
feature from the documentation.

External bug reference added.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Over in the Gnome bug tracking this issue, Jesse van den Kieboom reports
that the feature to create a new buffer from stdin (read from pipe) has
been implemented. The code is in the gedit development tree, and will
appear in the next major release.

Excellent.  Thank you for tracking this.  That work will roll into
Fedora at some point in the near future, so I'm going to close this
report out.

Title:
  gedit does not read from a pipe

Status in gedit:
  Fix Released
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gedit package in Fedora:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The GNOME text editor, gedit, has a cool and documented feature (by 
documented I
  mean they tell about it in the man page) which allows it to read input from a
  pipe. For example 'ls -lR | gedit' allows one to open a new buffer in gedit 
and
  populate it with the output of 'ls -lR'.  This does not seem to work in 
Ubuntu,
  and thus breaks some of my working habits. Would it be possible to enable this
  feature in future releases ?
