Arch Linux

Description:
I've tried to reopen the so obvious bug with the same summary, but it was denied because it was old. So now I'm opening a shining new bug for the same reason.

And the reason is:
"Evince doesn't appear in GNOME menu. The problem is in the file evince.desktop where there is a line not needed:

NoDisplay=true

if you delete this line evince appears in the menu"

The response was:

"I think this is intended behaviour. Why would you launch evince, open the file menu, click open, use the nasty gtk filechooser and open the file you want, while you can actually locate the PDF file you want to view using any filemanager you want, double click it and it opens in evince (if you have evince set as default PDF application).

I won't fix this, as this has been changed upstream for this same reason. Since evince is only a viewing application, it makes no sense having it in the menus. I always use the same reason for cleaning up the windows startmenu: all stupid viewer apps that launch automatically have to go."

And I don't agree because IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE EVINCE AS DEFAULT PDF APPLICATION and that's the very main reason for that bug, because the only way to make evince as default pdf application is to make it appear in the menu for selection.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
3.6.1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install gnome 3.6
2. Install evince
3. Install gimp
4. Try to open pdf file (it will open with gimp)
5. Try to make evince the default pdf application

I hope you have good sense
