I have a very similar use case. Rather than a preference to disable auto-reload, I would like a preference to disable focus-stealing when the document change. I would even be happy if this was only accessible via gconf-editor.
For the record, I can't imagine any scenario where this focus-stealing is really useful. I think that at most, evince could just require attention -- I don't know the technical term for this, but this happens when a window icon bounces or blinks in the task bar. -- Evince steals focus when automatically reloading the document https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
