| Summary | 0013848: Sub-processes launched from Scribus will block the Scribus mainloop until the other application is closed | ||||
| Description | In the preferences, set "evince" as the preferred PDF viewer, and in the PDF export dialog check the "Open PDF after export" option. Result: as long as Evince is open, you cannot click anything in Scribus, and GNOME's window manager considers that Scribus has gone "unresponsive". It is not immediately obvious that Scribus is blocked because of the open Evince instance (which you might want to keep side by side as you work anyway). | ||||

Luya, do you mind testing this ticket? |
|
|
I confirm the issue is fully reproduced with svn21106 build. Edit: I built 1.5.2svn to the latest version i.e svn21132, I am able to fully reproduce the bug with Evince opened. |

With included patch Scribus will launch PDF viewer as separate process that does not block Scribus. Viewer need to be closed independently of Scribus. |

|
is 0013400 related ? |
|
|
having issues building in OSX that seem unrelated. Luya and jeff, would you test juraj's patch please? Thanks |
|
|
Not in a position to build and test the thing myself, but I might ask, from a theoretical standpoint: shouldn't the patch fix this for all external apps launched by scribus, not just the pdf viewer? |
|
|
Running the patch on the latest svn build solved sub-processing issue. I was able to select items from menu while keeping PDF Viewer open after selecting "Open PDF afrer Export". I am updating COPR repository as I type. Meanwhile, the rpm version is on Koji, a Fedora build system http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13512014 |
