It would be really nice if you could implement a -v or --version option that shows the version number of Evince. Currently you have to start Evince and go to the About page to find the version number (if you're not root). I've had some trouble with Ubuntu 12.04 and the graphics, so I could only see the usage message.
I'm interested because I noticed that the version distributed with Ubuntu 12.04 includes a --named-dest option. This is the first reader that I know of other than Adobe Reader and since xpdf that has this option. Thanks very much for implementing it! We use the named destination to jump to our PDF manuals from our HTML-based help, and also to jump to tutorial instructions inside the PDF documents. So I'm really pleased to see this feature implemented. I haven't tried it yet due to the problems with Ubuntu 12.04, but I'll be testing it out, and we'll probably add Evince as a standard PDF viewer for these parts of our software. (Adobe Reader is broken on Linux and there seems to be no chance of it being fixed, so we can't use it in general for our documentation any more.) And my other wish would be a PDF reader that could read the Adobe Catalog (.pdx) file and run searches based on it. Then we could use it for all our PDF needs. Ken Dyall -- Kenneth G.
