Description Robert Holmberg 2004-10-21 09:46:47 UTC

Print to file function tries to print to /output.ps by default. I don't have write access to / but there is no error either. The file just doesn't appear anywhere.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
The default output file should be ~/output.ps. Also if the file can't be written
an error message should be produced. It should *not* fail silently.

Oh, sorry, gpdf 2.8.0. I filed two bugs in a row for this one but forgot the app details for the second one. Latest x86~ as of 22.10.2004.
