Bug 41848 – app-text/gv tries to use the wrong tmp file when printing marked pages from PDF files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Don Jerman 2004-02-16 18:58:46 UTC]

For gv 3.5.8 r2.  When I view a PDF file in gv, if I right-click pages to mark them then select 'print marked' gv complains that file gv_40318198_1_BUSINESSCASE.ps.tmp
 does not exist.  Upon checking, it doesn't!  But a file called gv_4031819b_1_BUSINESSCASE.ps.tmp does exist.  My gv is getting the tmp file name wrong.  ggv does not do this, but ggv is not used by Mozilla plugger to view PDF online.  This occurs only when viewing PDF files, not for regular postscript.  Print All produces a less specific complaint, but the same problem occurs (a near-miss on the temp file name).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gv
2. get a pdf file (sample URL provided above)
3. gv pdffile.pdf (or use Mozilla plugger to view inline)
4. right-click page 1 to mark
5. click print marked button or select print marked from file menu.
6. click OK on the popup.

Actual Results:  
a message dialog appears, 
title: 'Message'
message: 'Cannot open /home/djerman/.tmp/gv_40318198_1_BUSINESSCASE.ps.tmp: No
such file or directory'
button: 'Okay'

Expected Results:  
should have executed 'lpr gv_4031819b_1_BUSINESSCASE.ps.tmp' to queue the
correct file on the printer queue, silently.

i can reproduce that, but have no idea what causes it

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem... what info do you need?

[Comment 3 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-03-27 09:06:13 UTC]

i can reproduce that, but i have absolutely no idea where the error is :(

[Comment 4 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2004-05-10 10:12:22 UTC]

Same error (on sparc) with pdf files and 3.5.8-r3 (except that the file name
mismatch is now in /tmp/ because of app-defaults change.)
(Printing .ps files is fine.)

i added the debian patch in -r4 and it seems to be fixed now
