Package: libgtk-3-0
Version: 3.24.18-1
Severity: minor
File: gtk-3-0
Dear Maintainer,
While using inkscape I requested a print preview using the preview button on the print dialog. But nothing was displayed. Fortunately I had run inkscape from the comnad line and noticed the error message
sh: 1: exec: evince: not found
Also noticed some files: previewTGVAK0.pdf and settingsVWNIK0.ini; left in /tmp
I installed evince and retried print preview. The preview appeared.
Grepped around a bit but couldn't find a config file that contained "evince" so grabbed the source and found the default hard coded in gtksettings.c
./gtk/gtksettings.c:#define PRINT_PREVIEW_COMMAND "evince --unlink-tempfile --preview --print-settings %s %f"
So it seems that libgtk-3-0 should depend upon evince.
Or maybe the dialog could be changed to grey out the preview button if the preview app isn't available. A tool tip could explain why the option was greyed out.
