[Bug 505168] Re: Evince deletes temporary image file obtained from PDF as soon as PDF is closed
instead of in another window of itself? Umm, what exactly _did_ you do in step 2? To reproduce the bug I opened an empty second evince window by typing evince in a terminal (without the quotes) and then dragged and dropped the image from the original PDF file in the other Evince window. I was a bit surprised that Evince displayed it at all, instead of giving an error, but if that's the program you are trying to use it will do it's best to open/display the file, rather than call another program. Is it even possible for evince to call another program? We are not talking about file associations in Nautilus here. I think you should just settle for not doing what you did. Use the right-click - Save Image As... feature instead.

I sort of accidentally stumbled on this feature because of my touchpad. I'll detail Step 2 if it will help. Step II broken down: 1. Click on an image in the part of the Evince window displaying the PDF. 2. Drag the image a little bit (a few pixels is sufficient) 3. Drop it on the same part of the Evince window displaying the PDF. 4. Ta-dah! It displays in a new Evince window. I'm perfectly satisfied to use the Right-Click - Save Image As... feature but the thing is that sometimes it's iffy because there's text embedded in the PDF and that gets selected and I don't get the right context menu. If, however, I do the drag thing I can instantly tell what's happening (either I'm getting the image, or text is getting selected). -- Evince deletes temporary image file obtained from PDF as soon as PDF is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Not surprising really. After all, Evince is a document viewer, not an image viewer. Just right-click on the image in the original PDF and select Save Image As... I didn't specify an extension and ended up with a PNG file. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Evince deletes temporary image file obtained from PDF as soon as PDF is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Oh okay. Why doesn't Evince open it in with the default image viewer then, instead of in another window of itself?
