Bug#507983: kpdf: does not reopen pdf's after delete/recreate
Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-3
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I used kpdf to view pdf's I'm creating with LaTex, with
the watch-option turned on.
When a mistake appears in the LaTex code, pdflatex deletes
the old pdf version, but does not create a new version. After
fixing the LaTex error, a new version of the pdf with the
original name is created.
kpdf chokes on this sequence of events. Instead of automatically
reopening the new pdf with the same name, I have to manually reopen
the file using the menu.
This behavior differs from the more desirable behavior of "gv", which
automatically reopens the pdf, once it's been recreated.
