Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.02-1.4+lenny2
Severity: wishlist
Since the -remote option creates a new window if one isn't found,
there's (it seems) no way to detect if a remote is present at all.
This prevents me from having the behavior I'd like, which is:
If a remote window with name "report" exists:
ask it to reload
otherwise:
create a new window and open "report.pdf"
The closest solution I've found is to run:
xpdf -remote report report.pdf
But this causes an existing instance to go back to page 1, rather than
stay on the current page like "-reload" would. What I would really
like to do is something like:
if xpdf -testremote report ; then
xpdf -remote report -reload
else
xpdf -remote report report.pdf &
fi
Alternately, instead of -testremote, the ability to supress the
automatic creation of a new window, and return an error instead, might
be more useful. Then I could do:
if ! xpdf -nocreate -remote report -reload ; then
xpdf -remote report report.pdf &
fi
