Summary0005764: Inconsistency between file formats proposed in startup and File>Open dialogs
DescriptionWhen opening a PDF from 'Open Existing Document', it attempts to import the PDF file.
If I try to Open another PDF document, the dropdown for PDF's isnt available now.

Even closing the current doc, and trying again still wont show the dropdown box with PDF's.

To be able to choose PDF's again, you have to completely quit Scribus and restart it.
Additional InformationTried testing this also in 1.3.3.9, but none of my PDF's are in 'an acceptable format'. In 1.3.4 some work some dont, some, make it hang.

Using Ubuntu 7.04, 1.3.4 from std malex repo of 20 May 2007

File->Open->PDF shouldnt be available at all.

The correct action is File->Import->PDF, since Scribus can't open PDFs for editing.

For PS and PDF there are in fact two ways to get it into a Scribus document:

* File->Import: this connverts the PS/PDF to vectors and sometimes fails
* place an Imageframe and load the PS/PDF into the frame. This should always succeed but rasterizes the PS/PDF.

IIRC Scribus resorts to Import if you call File->Open with no documents open..
