Hi Paul, Sorry for the delay in replying. I've had a few busy days here and didn't get a chance to get around to this email. A couple of comments on this issue: 1) I think that putting a CBR reader in evince is Okay. It's a little bit iffy, but is basically a close enough fit that I'm okay with it. 2) The patch itself needs some work. In particular, the tmp-file handling is wrong, we need more robust error checking, etc. I will try to comment on that in the bug. 3) Over time, we've been modifying EvDocument.h to accommodate the needs of evince. I don't expect this to be a big burden, but do you think you'll be able to keep it in sync? Basically, every backend needs a 'maintainer' of some kind, for if/when things change.
