Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-1+b2
Severity: minor


Take any pdf file that already works in KPDF. Rename it to change its extension
from .pdf to something else; for example, "file.pdf.bak" works. Start KPDF and
attempt to open the file (the file dialog won't list it, so you have to force
it a bit by typing the name manually or entering a different filter). KPDF says
"Error" "Could not open ..etc.."

Of course, KPDF is lying - it could open the file if it wanted to. It just
doesn't want to because the extension is different. ("Will not open .." would
be a truer statement...)

As you might guess, I wanted to view a ".pdf.bak" file when I found this bug,
but it happens on all sorts of extensions. Without extension seems to work
okay, though.

Peace,
Brendon

Hi,

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/489987 
in the Debian BTS against the package kpdf.

Debian has switched to KDE 4 in unstable and kpdf 
does not exist in KDE 4. Therefore, I am closing this bug as fixed 
in *unstable*. The bug will remain open for stable since it is
shipping KDE 3.5.
For viewing PDF files in KDE 4 you can use okular.

Ana
