Subject: bug#2058: 23.0.60; bewildering behavior when visit new file throw.pdf
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 15:09:19 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <004c01c97f41$f45cbd10$0200a8c0@us.oracle.com> (raw)
emacs -Q
I did C-x C-f throw.pdf, with no existing file throw.pdf. The
ensuing messages and interaction were bewildering.
An extremely long message appeared in the echo area:
"No image (png) support available or some conversion utility for pdf
files is missing. Type C-c C-c to switch to an editing mode or C-c
C-t to open a buffer showing the doc as text."
But the new, empty file throw.pdf appeared to be visited with no
problem. I tried to type into it. That threw me back to the previous
buffer I had been in (Dired), and crazy error msgs were displayed.
I tried again, and this time I tried to type `C-c C-t', since the
message indicated that that would open the buffer as text. That too
led to errors.
I don't know exactly what happened, but you will, as soon as you try
it. ;-)
This is the *Messages* buffer:
