Bug#717375: texlive-binaries: xdvi: disable redrawing PS ?
Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2012.20120628-4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
xdvi displays PostScript figures included via \includgraphics{}.
Those figures are very frequently redrawn on the screen.
I wish these images were somehow cached, to avoid frequent
redrawing.
For example, all the figures on a page are redrawn
when you scroll the page or when you go to another page
and come back to it. When the PostScript figures are large,
this is sometimes a bit painful, and when I use xdvi remotely
via X-window on SSH, this redrawing becomes a real problem.
I greatly prefer "latex + xdvi" to "pdflatex + somepdfviewer"
because latex is much faster and DVI is much lighter
and faster to preview. But, when big figures are included
the advantage of xdvi becomes less.
Regards,
Ryo
