Put aside the distinction in the mind of the "common user" (ie. myself) between a "viewer" that does this but not that, and just something that lets me "open" up the file, let alone the timeline issues, what is the plan for PDF displaying a PDF on my screen? I've been using evince for a long time, and find it emminently adequate for the job of opening, reading and printing PDFs, which I do quite frequently to the point of daily. The real question here is, "assuming that evince will be dropped from the default install, will there be a PDF 'display' (or whatever you want to call it) program installed by default?" Please pardon what some will think along the lines of "well duh, he can just used such-and-such package which is already installed by default, or just install evince from the repositories, and anyway there are plenty of other software packages out there which can "display" PDFs -- such as LibreOffice, The Gimp, etc.." Yes, I *do* know how to do "yum install evince". -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
