Acroread: acroread7-7.0.0
>Description:
I just hit a very strange bug ... when trying to open any PDF
document with acroread7 from the homedirectory, it fails with an
error message 'No such file or directory'. If changing the
working directory to somewhere else and calling the same file,
it works fine.
Example:
freddy at pegasus:~ 0% /usr/local/bin/acroread7 cvs/data/acroread/ds_networker.pdf
(acroread:1527): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gconvert.c: line 498 (g_convert): assertion `str != NULL' failed
==> fails
freddy at pegasus:~ 0% cd cvs
freddy at pegasus:~/cvs 0% /usr/local/bin/acroread7 data/acroread/ds_networker.pdf
==> works
Tested with almost any current PDF document format (i.e. 1.3, 1.4, 1.5).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install print/acroread7, then chdir to $HOME, fetch some PDF
file and try to open from $HOME as "acroread filename", create
$HOME/tmp, chdir to tmp and try to open same file as "acroread ../filename".
