The following refers to the build (bootstrap) with 23.0.50-CVS of 14
hours ago.
The first thing I note is that loading a PDF file, it appears a buffer
suggesting something:
'q'...
'k'...
...
but this happens only for less than a second and I cannot read and say
what it contains.
After this, the PDF file is shown correctly and in the mini buffer I
find the suggestion C-c C-c 'to toggle between editing o viewing...'
and typing C-c C-c gives the text to edit, i.e. we toggle from view to
text mode.
On the contrary, loading a PS file shows it as a text and only after
C-c C-c, it is shown as document, i.e. we toggle from text to view
mode.
Why this different behaviour when loading PS files?
Another thing I observe is that, using the mouse wheel, one can only
scroll a single page of the document and not between a page to the
next. Is this to be expected?
On Cygwin I have found that the cache (a directory called
'docview1006') is stored in the Windows $TEMP (usually
/c/DOCUME~1/.../IMPOST~1/Temp) directory and not in the Cygwin /tmp
dir. But on Cygwin, should Emacs have the same behaviour as on linux?!
(many Cygwin applications store their files in /tmp and do not know
Windows $TEMP!)
After closing the files (PDF/PS...), jusched.log is created in the
Windows $TEMP:
----------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 04 23:45:48 2008 :: Either not a Win2000, XP platform or
Non-admin user or GetModuleFilename failed or Error Opening JavaUpdate
Keys.
----------------------------------------------------
I am using Emacs on Cygwin (XP) as Non-admin user: should we be
worried about jusched.log and what it contains?
Loading JPEG files (pictures) one can scroll them vertically: How can
one scroll horizontally? Otherwise the pictures appear truncated on
right margin (even maximizing the Emacs frame/window).
Cheers,
Angelo.

Just some keybindings you can use to stop conversion if it takes too
long.

That's actually good, since it seems to be quite quick till you see the
first page.

Because PostScript is a real programming language where actually many
people want to edit the code.

Yes. This might change in future versions.

Oh, I neither use Windows nor Cygwin, so I don't have an idea.

With image-mode you can scroll in all directions with the arrow keys.
Bye,

It does not work! For example
C-x C-f foo.jpg
I can see the part of image in the Emacs frame (window). The mode line
says "Image[jpeg]" (the same if M-x image-mode).
If I now use the four arrow keys I got only the Emacs beep and not the
scrolling.
I can only scroll vertically with mouse wheel or PgUp, PgDown keys.
If I maximize Emacs frame, I can see a greater part of the image but
not all and the scroll with arrow keys still does not work!
So, or I am wrong in doing something or we (at least me) have a
problem with Emacs.
Cheers,
Angelo.
