Hi I was just reading over bits of okular source code and suddenly discovered "Import postscript as PDF" in the main menu.
I'm considering removing it, but before I propose a patch doing it, I would love to have some feedback first. Reasons to remove: - Okular can open postcript by itself - It clutters up the menu - There is a open bug report that it always uses US Letter as papersize when importing, and no gentle way of fixing it without exposing a complicated dialog - It is implented by running an external command (ps2pdf) to do the heavy lifting - If your platform doesn't have libspectre&libgs, it likely also doesn't have ps2pdf - if ps2pdf is not found, it is not immediately clear to the user how to solve - Error handling in case of ps2pdf failing is nonexisting Reasons to keep: - If you have a okular compiled in a nonstandard configuration, but with pdf support, you can later install ps2pdf and be able to view postscript files anyway The feature in question was added back in 2005; that was back when okular was kpdf and has not been touched much since then. Any one for? Any one against? /Sune -- I didn’t stop pretending when I became an adult, it’s just that when I was a kid I was pretending that I fit into the rules and structures of this world. And now that I’m an adult, I pretend that those rules and structures exist. - zefrank
