From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: Older ghostscript viewer front end, gv or ghostview, has the ability to mark several pages over by right click + drag over the page numbers. This is useful if you have to mark many pages in ranges for printing. ggv cannot do that. To select many pages (in range), one has to click through the page number one by one, which gets really tedious. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ggv-2.0.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to mark many pages in range by right click + drag on page number 2. 3. Actual Results: None Expected Results: behave like gv / ghostview. Additional info:
ggv is not a good postscript viewer for remote X servers, such as X terminals and PCs running an X server. We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS to provide compute services to a couple hundred such clients. Our users are extremely upset that gv is not available and that the replacement is essentially unusable.
Mass reassign to Marco.
Internal RFE bug #154238 entered; will be considered for future releases.
We aren't doing feature work on ggv in RHEL3. In RHEL4, evince is the default postscript viewer, and it has a 'Print range' feature which should work well for the use case described. Closing bug.
