The ability to change pages with a remote makes sense. The ability to change from windowed to fullscreen (and not back again) does not make sense -- why not just start the presentation with the PDF fullscreen already? Hi Dana, As can be seen at the top of the bug report, the bug is marked as fix released on all the affected packages. Could you test whether the bug still occurs with the latest Ubuntu version? If it does continue to occur, please include the following bits of information: * the version of evince * the version of gnome-settings-daemon * what media player you are using * the version of the media player you are using Thank you. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin -- Evince hijacks global multimedia keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Something else to mention. F5 is bound to presentation, and F11 is bound to fullscreen. Therefore, there is no use for presentation to be bound to the play button. -- Evince hijacks global multimedia keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Therefore, there is no use for presentation to be bound to the play button. Yes there is. Some notebooks (read: Dell XPS) have remote controls which only contain media control buttons. Don't you think it would be awesome to control Evince for a presentation using those buttons? -- Regards, Chow Loong Jin -- Evince hijacks global multimedia keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug is still present in Intrepid with latest updates installed. I'd mark it myself I have no clue how to do it, and rather than breaking something I'd rather someone else do it.

Even then, the fix for gnome-settings-daemon hasn't been backported to Intrepid.

The gnome-settings-daemon task is fixed in jaunty (we have the upstream fix there).

** Summary changed: - Evince takes over global shortcut keys + Evince hijacks global multimedia keys ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: evince + When Evince starts after a media player in GNOME, The multimedia player + keys no longer control the media player, but control Evince instead. - Hello all, another fun bug! - - When some of GNOME's global hotkeys correspond to Evince's ones, Evince - takes them over and doesn't restore the previous behaviour when it - exits. - - Here's how I see it on my system (Ubuntu 8.10): - 1. Set Previous Track/PlayPause/Next track to Ctrl-Alt-Z,X,C respectively in System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts - 2. Launch Banshee or Rhythmbox (tested with both). Observe that the global hotkeys work as expected - 3. Launch Evince - 4. Make sure Evince is not the active window and hit ctrl-alt-x. Evince fullscreens itself - 5. Exit Evince - 6. Try to use any of the hotkeys set in step 1. None of them work + Test Case: + 1. Start Rhythmbox + 2. Press media player keys, and observe that Rhythmbox responds + 3. Start Evince + 4. Press media player keys, and observe that Evince responds. + 5. Switch to another window, and press media player keys. Observe that there is no response from Rhythmbox or Evince + 6. Close Rhythmbox and start it again. + 7. Press media player keys. Observe that Rhythmbox responds. What should happen: - (In my opinion) Evince shouldn't be taking over global hotkeys that the user has set previously. A good first step is to make it detect if they are set and not override them. In the future these keys should either be settable by Evince preferences or (ideally) in Keyboard Shortcuts in GNOME. Evince should release the bindings when it exits to not clobber future applications. - - Thanks all. + Evince registers with gnome-settings-daemon with time=1, whereas Rhythmbox registers with gnome-settings-daemon with time=0, which is a special value for current time. Hence, Rhythmbox should have priority over Evince when it comes to grabbing the multimedia keys, even if Evince is started after Rhythmbox. -- Evince hijacks global multimedia keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
