I don't think anyone has looked into a properties page for nautilus. It seems like a great project to tackle. Marco was talking about adding an info dialog to evince-proper, though I don't know if he has started yet. Fortunately for you, we just added support for most of the metainfo to ev-document.c, with implementations for djvu, dvi, and pdf. You may need to extend it a bit, but it should be straightforward to do this. Feel free to ask more questions here. Good luck! -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Evince-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
