From what I see, Atril has all the functionality of evince. And, the interface is better, so it it easier to use. I hadn’t like changes to evince of late, and had always had to change the interface with an upgrade (add menu, add toolbar buttons). Atril has a standard menu as a default. I still have to customize the toolbar (I like lots of options for view changes). - Victor -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
