Hi all,
would someone with write access please install this patch for me? It
includes the following improvements:
1. When doing `M-x doc-view' the filename completion doesn't hide pdf,
ps, and dvi files anymore.
2. I added a simple around advice to `view-file' that asks to use
`doc-view' instead of `view-file' if file is a pdf, ps or dvi file.
This enables users to use the normal `v' command in dired to open
document files.
The patch is a bit large because the current version was indented with
spaces, this one uses both spaces and tabs (width 8) as it's the default
for emacs.

We would prefer this implemented without advice -- perhaps just by
rebinding v in Dired to a new, simple function `view-or-doc-view-file', or
by modifying `view-mode' itself to recognize such files and change to
doc-view-mode. ("Such files" should of course be a user option; you may
have it so already.)

That makes your patch quite hard to read, and causes CVS conflicts with
everyone who has unchecked-in changes to the file. There's nothing wrong,
I don't think, with fixing the indentation on lines that you change, but
otherwise it's best to leave it alone. (This is why I'm not sure whether
your patch makes the set of doc-viewable file types a user option.)

If I rebind this key in doc-view.el then the documentation has to be
extended to tell the user that (require 'doc-view) re-binds it.
I could change that in dired, too, but there may be users that want to
use dired but not doc-view.
Maybe the right thing to do is to add an autoload cookie for doc-view
and change `dired-view-file' to recognize pdf, ps and dvi files. What
do you think?

Oh, too bad. But now I think I cannot revert the whitespace changes...

No, that's no user option. For all doc-view supported file-types (pdf,
ps and dvi) the user will be queried to open the file with doc-view
instead of view-file.

I changed `dired-view-file' so that it asks the user to use doc-view for
pdf, ps and dvi files instead of `view-file'.
The only non-whitespace changes are those in doc-view.el at @@ -713,34

I changed `dired-view-file' so that it asks the user to use doc-view for
pdf, ps and dvi files instead of `view-file'.
The change in Dired is similar to a change I installed in 2004, which
was removed in 2005. The code worked but there was some sort of
drawback to the idea. I don't remember what it was, but before we
install a similar feature now, someone should check on this list for
discussion of `dired-view-file' in Dec 2004 and make sure that the
arguments there don't apply against this change.
As for the changes in doc-view.el itself, would someone please install
them?

Installed. But Tassilo, please not that the « Version » field of your
file should be updated again when dired-related things will be
integrated.

I searched through the archives of this list and I think the change you
mean was the introduction of the variable `dired-view-command-alist'.
The list had the form (REGEXP . SHELL-COMMAND) where SHELL-COMMAND was
an external viewer for files matching REGEXP. So I think that the
problem with that was that calling external programs (which might not be
available) is generally not a good idea. Since `doc-view' is an emacs
command and the user is asked if he wants to view the document with
`doc-view' instead of `view-file', I think my change is safe.

Is it just a matter that they may not be available? Or is it also risky?
Since `doc-view' is an emacs
command and the user is asked if he wants to view the document with

If I understand correctly, `doc-view' also works by calling an
external program. Why don't the same arguments apply?

No, probably not. It was only a wild guess from my side why that
feature was taken out. I could only find the messages which discussed
its inclusion, but not the ones that discussed why it was taken out
again. I'll try to find them tomorrow if time allows it.

Not really, I think.

Indeed. The only difference is that doc-view uses only external
commands for the conversion whereas the dired change we're talking about
called viewers and thus gave the focus to other applications.
But what if we use my change in `dired-view-file' and add an additional
test for (featurep 'doc-view)? Then users would only be asked if
doc-view should be used for pdf/ps/dvi files if they required it
explicitly. If they do so, we can be sure that they have the needed
external programs installed.

Ok, this is the thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/31757/focus=31861
It was taken out because the mechanism for invoking external viewers
should be replaced by the one that Gnus already uses. Unfortunately
that didn't happen and no real discussion followed.

So I'd say the solution I proposed in the paragraph above is ok. If you
agree, here's a patch that implements it.

But this would mean that merely loading doc-view.el changes the behavior of
dired-view-file. Since loading a package should not change the behavior of
Emacs (because the load may take place for all kinds of reasons), I think
it's not a good solution,

A plan was to use mailcap-related functions from Gnus with the dired-x
command-guessing user interface. But it is unclear how to use code from
Gnus in dired. Perhaps, by loading the `mailcap' library since it is in the
Emacs source tree. Is adding (require 'mailcap) to dired.el a good thing?

I think asking a question before visiting a file is very bad thing to do.
Since doc-view-mode doesn't call an external viewer, but instead renders
the file as an image inside the Emacs buffer, I think a good solution
would be to use the same user interface as is implemented by image-mode:
by default, visiting a pdf/dvi file could display a rendered image
(which is more preferable for most users than editing them, I guess).
But if the user still wants to edit the source file or to view it as text,
then the user could type `C-c C-c'. You could also implement
`doc-view-minor-mode' because the main mode for PS files is `ps-mode',
so this requires a minor view mode (like `image-minor-mode' for text-based
image formats).

Indeed. The only difference is that doc-view uses only external
commands for the conversion whereas the dired change we're talking about
called viewers and thus gave the focus to other applications.
Maybe that makes a big difference. Please check the reasons why I
took the other feature out, so we can see whether they do apply here.

You are right, but this is easily fixed. The right way to control
whether to use doc-view is with a variable (if we don't enable it
unconditionally).
The real question is whether to use doc-view or the Gnus mechanism.

It was taken out because the mechanism for invoking external viewers
should be replaced by the one that Gnus already uses. Unfortunately
that didn't happen and no real discussion followed.
It would be a good thing to have just one such mechanism: either
the one Gnus uses, or doc-view. If we choose doc-view, then we
should make Gnus use it.
What are the arguments in favor of doc-view?
Does someone want to argue in favor of the mechanism that Gnus uses?

Would be ok for me, but I'll wait for a decision for the doc-view
vs. Gnus mechanism before implementing it.

I think Gnus mechanism is irrelevant to doc-view. Gnus uses mailcap
mechanisms to find the appropriate mailcap entry and run an external
program in a separate process. doc-view displays the rendered image
in the Emacs buffer. So it could work exactly as image-mode for
pdf/ps/dvi files.
As for the mailcap feature, I recall there was a proposal to put
programs from the mailcap entry to the default value of the ! command
(`dired-do-shell-command').

DocView and the Gnus mailcap mechanism are unrelated features.
Mailcap finds an appropriate external program to start in a separate
process. DocView converts PDF/PS/DVI files to PNG files and displays
them in the Emacs buffer. Perhaps this confusion was caused by the
name of the package doc-view? What would be a better name?
BTW, the same package could be used to display other multi-image formats
in the same Emacs buffer, like e.g. a sequence of images from animated GIF.

Ok, that sounds reasonable to me and I'm willing to implement it. If I
understand correctly, I have to add entries to `auto-mode-alist' and
change `doc-view-mode' so that it calls `doc-view' for the current
`buffer-file-name' plus a binding `C-c C-c' to toggle between the
rendered image presentation and the text representation. Is that
correct?
One problem I see: Should `doc-view' called with NO-CACHE set to t?
Personally I prefer calling (doc-view nil file) and adding a binding to
the mode to reconvert the document.

I'd second that.

DocView and the Gnus mailcap mechanism are unrelated features.
They are related because they do the same job: display non-textual
formats for Emacs. They work in different ways, but each can still
substitute for the other. If you have a PDF or PS or DVI file, you
can display it either with doc-view or with the Gnus mailcap
mechanism.
So do we really want both methods? If so, when should each
method be used? Or how should the user choose?
The current code chooses the mailcap mechanism when in Gnus,
and now we have a proposal for Dired to use the doc-view mechanism.
But is there any reason to think those are the right choices?
I have tried to start a discussion of this question,
but nobody else has addressed it.

Personally I think a solution which doesn't give the focus to another
application is preferable and thus should be the default. Gnus cannot
use doc-view since that depends on GNU Emacs whereas Gnus wants to run
on all Emacsen.
> Or how should the user choose?
Juri proposed a very good solution in <87ve9jhifi.fsf@jurta.org> and
<87ir5h4cz1.fsf@jurta.org>.
In summary:
1. He proposed to make doc-view the standard viewer for pdf/dvi/ps files
and add a binding `C-c C-c' which would toggle between the rendered
image representation and the text representation just like image-mode
does. This way `v' in dired would use doc-view by default and `C-c
C-c' in doc-view-mode would switch to the text representation you get
when you hit `v' on a doc nowadays.
2. The Gnus mailcap mechanism could be used for the default command for
`dired-do-shell-command' (bound to `!' in dired).
I think this is a very good solution and I'm willing to implement point
1 if we agree on it.

I think both methods are very useful.
The Gnus mailcap mechanism provides several alternatives of external
programs to run. There are many different file types associated with
programs in the mailcap file, not only documents supported by doc-view.
But OTOH, doc-view provides more convenient way of viewing supported
file types (PDF/PS/DVI) inside Emacs, not in external programs.
> The current code chooses the mailcap mechanism when in Gnus,
> and now we have a proposal for Dired to use the doc-view mechanism.
There is already a file lisp/gnus/gnus-dired.el that binds `C-c C-m C-l'
in Dired to the command that runs the program found in the mailcap file.
But I think a better way would be to allow the user to select the
preferred program, inspect the command line and be able to edit the
command line before running a command. This can be achieved by putting
program names found by the Gnus mailcap mechanism to the default value
in the minibuffer activated after typing ! in Dired.
A for doc-view, since it displays rendered images inside Emacs buffers,
there is no need to activate it only from Dired. Visiting a PDF/PS/DVI
file in any way including `C-x C-f' could put it in doc-view mode.
And if the user want to see its source text, then the user can type
`C-c C-c' just like in image-mode.

Yes, this seems to be correct. And also please don't forget to display
a message in the echo area saying how the user can switch to text-only
mode, something like:
Type C-c C-c to view the document as source text.

Maybe, adding a binding like `g' (usually used to revert/refresh the buffer)
will help doing this.

The current versions of `mailcap.el' and `gnus-dired.el' have some
dependencies on Gnus. I'm working on reducing these dependencies so
that it should possible to use them in other parts of Emacs without
loading significant parts of Gnus (probably `gnus-dired.el' should be
renamed, e.g. to `dired-mime.el').

Thanks. Do you see any problems with this?

gnus-dired.el has a function `gnus-dired-attach' that is Gnus-specific.
So I think it would be better to leave gnus-dired.el alone, and implement
new commands in dired.el or dired-aux.el (and maybe take into account
the command guessing behaviour of ! in dired-x.el).

I did only very limited testing. I tested that
`gnus-dired-find-file-mailcap' still works without loading unnecessary
gnusy packages. See the preliminary patches (against Gnus trunk)
below.
Not a problem, but a TODO: `mailcap-mime-data' should be splitted.
IMHO, it should be composed of...
(a) entries from a customizable variable
(b) the data from MAILCAPS (`mailcap-parse-mailcaps')
(c) Emacs-wide fallback entries for external viewers (e.g. for
Windows), cf. `mailcap-poor-system-types'.
Of course, mailcap.el should prefer (a) over (b), and (b) over (c).

I think it could work with any message composition package that
supports using MML (Emacs MIME). I don't know if any other exists
beside (Gnus) Message mode. But it's MML-specific, yes.

I don't use dired often, so I don't have a strong opinion how to
integrate mailcap functionality there.
I think the other functions `gnus-dired-attach' and `gnus-dired-print'
could be useful as well (cf. (info "(gnus)Other modes")). But they
surely need to be modified for if no other Gnus features should be
loaded.

`!' (`dired-do-shell-command') is not exactly what
`gnus-dired-find-file-mailcap' does. In mailcap.el you can also
specify Emacs-internal handling, IIRC.

Most of these packages get loaded only for the function `gnus-dired-attach'
in gnus-dired.el which is unrelated to running programs using the mailcap
mechanism. When I manually eval `gnus-dired-find-file-mailcap' without
loading gnus-dired.el, then the list of loaded packages is much smaller,
maybe only the necessary packages get loaded.

I think the goal is not to fix gnus-dired.el to not load unnecessary
packages when only one function is needed from this file, because this
file is already ad-hoc and contains unrelated commands. I think we should
only look at this file as an example of using the mailcap mechanism and
create a more general commands not in the gnus directory.

I agree. This would be a good priority system.

`gnus-dired-attach' already works well for attaching files to the Gnus
messages, so I see no reason to change gnus-dired.el. What is more useful to
do is to see whether calling mailcap-related functions (not in gnus-dired.el)
will load too many packages.

`gnus-dired-find-file-mailcap' has a serious deficiency: it always starts
the program that happens to be the first in the list of equal mailcap
alternatives without allowing the user to select the preferable program
and possibly edit its command line.

`P' (`dired-do-print') could provide a list of available printing commands
from the mailcap file.

This is an interesting problem. It seems that Emacs-internal handling in
mailcap-mime-data mostly duplicates auto-mode-alist, isn't it?

Hi all,
the attached patch makes doc-view the standard viewer for pdf, ps and
dvi files. It's done as Juri proposed and image-mode already does.
Whenever you find such a file it will be opened with doc-view-mode in a
text representation. If emacs was compiled with image (png) support, it
will be switched to the rendered image presentation immediately,
otherwise we stay in the text display mode.
With `C-c C-c' one can toggle between image and source text display.
Both display modes are read-only. With `C-c C-e' one can switch to an
appropriate editing mode -- ps-mode for ps files and fundamental-mode
for pdf and dvi files.
In the rendered image representation the binding `g' reconverts the
document.
I've tested it briefly and it seems to work well.

Whenever you find such a file it will be opened with doc-view-mode in a
text representation. If emacs was compiled with image (png) support, it
will be switched to the rendered image presentation immediately,
otherwise we stay in the text display mode.
I want to make sure I understand right.
If Emacs does not have PNG support, doc-view cannot show the image,
and C-c C-c won't really do anything. If Emacs does have PNG support,
doc-view will display the file graphically at first, and you only need
C-c C-c if you want to see the text.
Is that right? Please tell me if any part of that is not correct.
Both display modes are read-only. With `C-c C-e' one can switch to an
appropriate editing mode -- ps-mode for ps files and fundamental-mode
for pdf and dvi files.
Why not do this by default?

It toggles, but in the image display only
[page-22.png]
is displayed instead of the image.

Because with C-c C-c you can toggle between image or text display, but
you wen't leave doc-view-mode. After C-c C-e you switch to another
major mode and cannot toggle back with another C-c C-e.

The usage comment in doc-view.el says
,----
| ;; To use it simply open a document file with
| ;;
| ;; C-x C-f ~/path/to/document RET
| ;;
| ;; and the document will be converted and displayed, if your emacs supports png
| ;; images. With `C-c C-c' you can toggle between the rendered images
| ;; representation and the source text representation of the document. With
| ;; `C-c C-e' you can switch to an appropriate editing mode for the document.
`----
And the function docstrings say
,----
| (defun doc-view-toggle-display ()
| "Start or stop displaying a document file as a set of images.
| This command toggles between showing the text of the document
| file and showing the document as a set of images."
`----
and
,----
| (defun doc-view-edit-doc ()
| "Leave `doc-view-mode' and open the current doc with an appropriate editing mode."
`----
If you decide to install the patch this feature should be added to the
texinfo docs, too. Here's the entry for image-mode, the entry for
doc-view-mode would be quite similar, because I took image-mode as
pattern.
,----[ (info "(emacs)File Conveniences") ]
| Visiting image files automatically selects Image mode. This major
| mode allows you to toggle between displaying the file as an image in
| the Emacs buffer, and displaying its underlying text representation,
| using the command `C-c C-c' (`image-toggle-display'). This works only
| when Emacs can display the specific image type. If the displayed
| image is wider or taller than the frame, the usual point motion keys
| (`C-f', `C-p', and so forth) cause different parts of the image to be
| displayed.

The current versions of `mailcap.el' and `gnus-dired.el' have some
dependencies on Gnus. I'm working on reducing these dependencies so
that it should possible to use them in other parts of Emacs without
loading significant parts of Gnus (probably `gnus-dired.el' should be
renamed, e.g. to `dired-mime.el').
Thanks for doing that. It needs to be done, to make Emacs clean
and well organized.
However, it would be even better to install these features
in the right place to start with.
I've seen several examples where Gnus developers added to Gnus a
general facility which isn't specificly for reading news or mail.
That's not the way to add these facilities. They ought to be
added in the right place, as separate facilities in Emacs.
Can we arrange with Gnus maintainers to do this differently?

I think the goal is not to fix gnus-dired.el to not load unnecessary

file is already ad-hoc and contains unrelated commands. I think we should

create a more general commands not in the gnus directory.
I agree.

This is an interesting problem. It seems that Emacs-internal handling in
mailcap-mime-data mostly duplicates auto-mode-alist, isn't it?
If this is a matter of deciding how to handle an attachment based on
its mime type, I do not see that as redundant with `auto-mode-alist'.
That decides how to handle a file based on its name. A file does
not carry anything with it analogous to a stated mime type.
You only have the file name and the data (magic numbers).

I think both methods are very useful.
Why are they both useful?
The Gnus mailcap mechanism provides several alternatives of external
programs to run. There are many different file types associated with
programs in the mailcap file, not only documents supported by doc-view.
Ok, but when mailcap finds these kinds of documents,
should it run the external program or should it use doc-view?
But I think a better way would be to allow the user to select the
preferred program, inspect the command line and be able to edit the
command line before running a command. This can be achieved by putting
program names found by the Gnus mailcap mechanism to the default value
in the minibuffer activated after typing ! in Dired.
This seems to be a suggestion for changing the Gnus mailcap
feature. Is that right?

Personally I think a solution which doesn't give the focus to another
application is preferable and thus should be the default. Gnus cannot
use doc-view since that depends on GNU Emacs whereas Gnus wants to run
on all Emacsen.
XEmacs is a modified version of GNU Emacs, so please don't use the
word "GNU" to distinguish one from the other, as if XEmacs had nothing
to do with GNU.
When Gnus runs in Emacs, it should do whatever is best to do in Emacs.
XEmacs concerns should not get in the way.
1. He proposed to make doc-view the standard viewer for pdf/dvi/ps files
and add a binding `C-c C-c' which would toggle between the rendered
image representation and the text representation just like image-mode
does. This way `v' in dired would use doc-view by default and `C-c
C-c' in doc-view-mode would switch to the text representation you get
when you hit `v' on a doc nowadays.
I said yes to this; maybe he has implemented itby now.
2. The Gnus mailcap mechanism could be used for the default command for
`dired-do-shell-command' (bound to `!' in dired).
Maybe so, as long as in Emacs this mechanism is set up to use
docview when appropriate.

Erm, I have implemented this and you've replied to my mail which had the
patch attached (<87r6k2l9sr.fsf_-_@baldur.tsdh.de>).

The mailcap feature is useful to get the names of the external programs.
Doc-view is useful to view rendered images of PDF/PS/DVI files in a
Emacs buffer.

I think on Gnus attachments of PDF/PS/DVI files it should now use doc-view.

No, the mailcap feature only returns the names of the external programs.
So how to use them is a matter of other packages. Gnus always runs the
first found program to view the Gnus attachment. However, I think Dired
should get programs names from the mailcap feature, and present them in the
minibuffer activated by ! in Dired to allow the user select the desired
program.

The mailcap feature contains two basic parts:
1. file extension to the mime type mapping (e.g. ".pdf" -> "application/pdf"),
2. mime type to the view command name mapping (e.g. "application/pdf" -> "xpdf").
But also it allows mappings from the mime type to the Emacs function
(e.g. "application/pdf" -> `doc-view').
For Gnus attachments these types are necessary, and perhaps we should add
now the `doc-view' mappings for PDF/PS/DVI mime types to mailcap.el,
because I think viewing PDF/PS/DVI attachments is more preferable than
running an external program.
In the latest patch Tassilo added a new `auto-mode-alist' mapping
from .pdf/.ps/.dvi to `doc-view-mode', and I think this is right because
this is for visiting a file in Emacs, not an attachment in Gnus.
BTW, I don't understand why .eps is removed from `auto-mode-alist' in the
latest patch?

Ups, that's an error. Of course, eps files work fine with doc-view. I
attached a new patch which adds eps files to the doc-view-mode
auto-mode-alist entry.

I think on Gnus attachments of PDF/PS/DVI files it should now use doc-view.
What do others think about this question? Does anyone disagree with that?
> This seems to be a suggestion for changing the Gnus mailcap

No, the mailcap feature only returns the names of the external programs.
So how to use them is a matter of other packages. Gnus always runs the
first found program to view the Gnus attachment.
Is there a difference between "the mailcap feature" and "deciding what
to do based on mime types"? In your other message you said that it
can specify a Lisp expression instead of an external program. If we
want Gnus to use doc-view, we would do it that way, right?
However, I think Dired
should get programs names from the mailcap feature, and present them in the
minibuffer activated by ! in Dired to allow the user select the desired
program.
The usual thing we want Dired to do with a PDF/PS/DVI file is
doc-view. But you can do that by typing RET or e. Therefore, it is
ok if ! always offers the external program.
By contrast, you and I am proposing that Gnus prefer doc-view to the
external program, for these files.

I didn't have time to try doc-view yet (and currently the trunk
doesn't bootstrap for me; will look into this later), so I don't know
if doc-view makes sense for attachments.
Gnus wants to stay compatible with Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.4. When
adding doc-view specific entries, please do it in a compatible way.
(Additionally, such non-bugfix changes should not go into the stable
Gnus version, I think.)
Bye, Reiner.

Yes, it seems this is just a matter of adding
("application/postscript"
(viewer . doc-view-mode)
(test . (fboundp 'doc-view-mode))
(type . "application/postscript"))
("application/pdf"

("application/dvi"
(viewer . doc-view-mode)
(test . (fboundp 'doc-view-mode))
(type . "application/dvi"))
to `mailcap-mime-data'.

For what it's worth, w.r.t attachments, I see no problem with Gnus's
attachment and doc-view support: if viewed internally the attachment will
use doc-view-mode and if used externally it'll use whichever program you
prefer (xpdf, xdvi, gv, evince, ...).

If you are not running on a terminal, will the external program work?
I doubt it.
So we lose nothing by selecting doc-view instead.

Yes. By terminal I mean "XTerm" etc.

The user: when right-clicking on the attachment, the context menu allows
you to view the attachment either internally or externally (or to save).

Beside choosing interactively, it can be customized using the
variables described in (info "(emacs-mime)Display Customization").

I had a quick look at `doc-view.el'. There's a security issue when
using `doc-view' in mailcap. mailcap attempts to use a safe viewer
with the safest options[1], e.g. it calls gv, gs and xdvi with the
"-safer" option [2]. AFAICS, `doc-view' doesn't use such options. At
least "-dSAFER" should be added in `doc-view-ghostscript-options' and
`doc-view-ps2pdf-program' (or a new variable
`doc-view-ps2pdf-options'?) when used with mailcap (or even always?).
I don't know if similar security options are available for dvipdfm and
pdftotext.
Bye, Reiner.

I do that now. Thanks for the hint.
In order not to get confused with all those new versions of my patch,
I'll upload the current version to my homepage [1] in addition to
posting it here. So if someone finally decides to install it, be sure
to use the version from my homepage.
(Of course you could add me as project member, too.)

Yes. By terminal I mean "XTerm" etc.
That is a good point. If the current terminal is not graphical,
Gnus should fall back on the external displayer, since in some
cases that will work.

Many programs can display images in terminals (including the linux
consoles) for example 'elinks' and 'w3m'. I'd be best if Emacs can also
do it.

As I understood, these changes have already been approved by Richard,
so I've installed it. If not, please let me know.
A few remarks:
- Your patch mixed my minor corrections and your changes. Both should
be mentioned in separate ChangeLog entries.
- The ChangeLog entry...
* doc-view.el: Make doc-view-mode the standard mode for viewing
pdf, [e]ps and dvi files and add binding C-c C-c to toggle between
text and image display. Add binding C-c C-e to switch to an
editing mode.
... is quite terse, IMHO. Usually we add the relevant functions or
variables. (`C-x 4 a' (in the lisp or diff buffer) and friends are
handy for this.)
- The security enhancements should be mentioned in the ChangeLog, so I
added...
(doc-view-ghostscript-options, doc-view-ps->pdf): Add "-dSAFER" to
avoid security problems when rendering files untrusted sources.

To follow Richard's suggestion, the test should be something like...
(and (fboundp 'doc-view-mode)
(display-graphic-p)
(image-type-available-p 'png))
or...
(and (fboundp 'doc-view-mode-p)
(doc-view-mode-p))

(defun doc-view-mode-p ()
(and (display-graphic-p)

Shouldn't it?

I still have doubts that `C-c C-e' is necessary. Isn't it possible
to put .ps files in ps-mode, and also put it in `doc-view-minor-mode'?
It would be like `image-minor-mode'.
Also rebinding `C-x k' to a different command is not a good thing.
When the user has a habit to type `C-x k RET' to kill the current buffer,
then if a pdf file was visited from the dired buffer, typing `C-x k RET'
in doc-view-mode will visit it again (rebound `C-x k' will kill the buffer
without confirmation, and RET will revisit from the dired buffer :-)
I suggest you to bind `q' to `doc-view-kill-proc-and-buffer' and don't
rebind `C-x k'.
Also I noticed that often the message
"DocView: finished conversion from PDF/PS to PNG!"
overwrites the message
"Type C-c C-c to toggle between image and text display."
in the minibuffer, so the user may miss this information.

I think the second variant is better. Since this is a matter of doc-view
to decide if it can support displaying, it should have such a function
(autoloaded).

The newly-installed doc-view package doesn't properly handle images
that are wider or taller than the Emacs window. The left/right keys
don't scroll the image horizontally, and scrolling vertically is
cumbersome (because once you reach the bottom of the image, it
disappears without warning, whereupon trying to scroll back up jumps
back to the top of the image).
Image-mode used to have the same problems, but I recently enhanced it
so that large images can be scrolled vertically and horizontally. It
would be good to avoid re-introducing these annoyances with doc-view
mode. Could you take a look at the relevant functions in
image-mode.el (image-forward-hscroll, image-backward-hscroll,
image-previous-line, image-next-line, etc.) and try to use them in
doc-view mode?
Thanks.

Actually, the first of those two lines should be in ChangeLog but the second
should in the file's comments.

Then I'd have to make doc-view-mode a minor mode, right? Are there
other benefits except that you get font-locking for PS files then?
Currently I don't have too much time to work on this, but I'll put it on
my todo list.

I like `q' to be bound to bury-buffer, but I agree that rebinding `C-x
k' isn't perfect and I'll take it out.

Right. But since I implemented this mode-line-process indicator, those
messages are superfluous anyway and I'll take them out.

I agree. And it should accept an argument TYPE (`postscript', `pdf',
`dvi') like `image-type-available-p' to decide it for each document
type, e.g. ...
("application/postscript"
(viewer . doc-view-mode)
(test . (and (fboundp 'doc-view-mode-p)
(doc-view-mode-p 'postscript))
(type . "application/postscript"))

Please do so. And please install my patch at [1]. It makes use of the
image-mode scrolling commands (works brilliant!) [2], removes the
rebinding of `C-x k' and all messages that aren't needed anymore because
of `mode-line-process' [3].

I removed the `C-x k' binding but still use `k' for

However, that hasn't been trivial in the past (what with the Emacs
feature freeze that lasted two years and all). When a new, general
facility has been developed because Gnus needed it, it would be
counter-productive to not distribute it with Gnus just because it's not
Gnus-specific.
But when merging, the general stuff should not end up in the Gnus
directory, though.

ACK. I modified change to `auto-mode-alist' (don't open PS and EPS
with doc-view by default) as this seem to be controversial. IMHO, it
should do the same as image mode for XPM files: "Type C-c C-c to view
the image as an image." IIUC, this has not been implemented for
doc-view yet, so I think we should open them with ps-mode for now.
Bye, Reiner.

At least it should be consistent for all files that can both be edited
(as text) or viewed. One solution I see is
- open the files always with the editing mode because that's what the
find-file docstring says and one expects from an editor
- in that editing mode's hook turn on a minor-mode that only provides
a simple keybinding (like C-c C-c) that switches to the viewing mode
- in the viewing mode the same binding switches back to the editing
mode
So opening a PS file would activate ps-mode and doc-view-minor-mode is
activated in ps-mode-hook.
But how could we activate doc-view-minor-mode for DVI/PDF files which
would be opened in fundamental-mode, since there's no
fundamental-mode-hook?
What do you think?
Bye,
Tassilo

However, there is a difference: some file types are more likely to be
edited (.ps files) while other are not (.pdf and .dvi). Almost nobody
will want to edit .pdf and .dvi.
So you can put .ps files in ps-mode and doc-view-minor-mode,
and put .pdf/.dvi files in major mode doc-view-mode
(there is no need to put .pdf/.dvi in fundamental-mode).
For a solution how to activate a major/minor mode you could look
in image-mode-maybe.

I don't mind if you distribute it with Gnus. The point is to install it
into Emacs.
But when merging, the general stuff should not end up in the Gnus
directory, though.
If that means thinking of these added files as Emacs facilities rather
than as part of Gnus, that would do the job.

Many programs can display images in terminals (including the linux
consoles) for example 'elinks' and 'w3m'. I'd be best if Emacs can also
do it.
In theory I agree, but nobody has implemented this in Emacs,
so we need not worry about it in Emacs.

I think it is more important to treat each type as is most useful.
PDF and DVI files should show the rendered form initially. PS should
not.

I don't see it installed in CVS. Maybe, Tassilo as an active developer

BTW, did you try using a new function `doc-view-mode-p' in Gnus

To be able to display an attached pdf file inline in the Article buffer,
you need to add a new application/pdf handler to `mm-inline-media-tests'.
But it is unclear what should it display: all page images of the whole
pdf file (this requires improvements in doc-view to support this) or
only the first page (using something like `mm-inline-image')? And in
case of one page how the user is supposed to navigate to other pages?
Maybe, with the help of key bindings local only to the area of pdf image
in the Article buffer?

I don't think inlining the pdf in the article buffer is a good idea. We
would have to fight with navigation and other stuff that makes me feel
it's not worth the trouble. Why not open a new doc-view buffer instead?

PDF, PostScript and DVI files are usually A4 (or letter) paper sized
documents. Displaying them in the article buffer doesn't seem useful
to me. My personal preference would be a new Emacs frame.
BTW, I have committed the reduction of dependencies in mailcap.el and
gnus-dired.el in Gnus.

Large images get attached to the messages already, and Gnus displays them
inline just fine. I think when the disposition type is `inline' we should
try to display it inline in the same article buffer if possible. Otherwise,
it would be ok to display then in another buffer/frame like Gnus does when
it calls an external program to display an attachment.

Thanks. Could you also look at the problem of moving mailcap.el and its
related files out of Gnus? It seems an appropriate directory for them is
`lisp/mail' or `lisp/net'. Do you see a better directory?

But the difference is that the images are just there and can be
displayed immediately whereas pdfs and such have to be converted first.
I don't think it would be good to unconditionally start a conversion run
if a document is attached with disposition type `inline'. And if the
user has to type a key first to start the conversion and inline the
images I cannot see a big benefit.

I think it wouldn't be hard to add a function to doc-view that inserts
the images into the current buffer, but we'd loose (or have to
re-implement) all those nice features like searching or image-scrolling.

At least by default it doesn't display them inline, see
`mm-inline-large-images'. I toggled it and tried to view a wide image
(the frame is 80 chars wide). I couldn't figure out how to view the
right hand side part of the image conveniently. The best I could
think of was `scroll-left'. (I used `i image' in the Emacs manual.)

Good point.

I don't think any MUA in the wild sends PDFs as disposition=inline (of
course you can do with Gnus).

I'd suggest to implement viewing in an extra buffer first. I think
it's not worth the trouble to implement inline display in the article
buffer. But if someone wants to do it...

Which are the related files? (mailcap.el doesn't require any other
packages after my changes.)

I don't have a strong opinion on this.
[ IIRC, Miles should be back soon, so hopefully the change are synced
within a couple of days. ]
Bye, Reiner.

I thought mm-*.el files might be useful outside Gnus, mainly for other mail
programs. But if they are now used only by Gnus there is no sense to move
them out of the gnus directory now.
So if there is only one file mailcap.el under question, maybe a suitable
place for it is the top lisp directory `emacs/lisp'?
