evince menu in Sid

Thu Jan 16, 2014 7:58 am

I just wanted to read a pdf file and opened evince.
I didn't find a way to open a pdf file nor a menu
(in short i found an empty page with no options to do anything).

This is on debian sid.
The version is:
user$ apt-cache policy evince
evince:
Installed: 3.10.0-1+b1

Short ago i had a similar experience with rhythmbox (i decided that i don't need rhytmbox that desparately, but i really need a pdf reader which works. I can just do "evince name.pdf" from the cli, but that "restriction" seems really odd)

(same evince version, sid with xfce) It's not very clear but on the far right of the toolbar is a button which opens a drop-down menu including a file browser. It works here. I dumped evince for live-images because:

After this operation, 24.9 MB of additional disk space will be used

epdfview is much lighter

Duh, i had to maximise the window to see the right icon
(but it gives a good impression bout what i think of gnome - these days. I can imagine they will remove everything).
