When viewing files such as alphabet.ps, colorcir.ps, escher.ps, grayalph.ps, snowflak.ps, vasarely.ps, waterfal.ps from Ghostscript distribution, or twopages.ps bundled with PSTOEDIT, Ghostscript returns message 'No more pages' at status line when trying to view the contents of next page. When the message is shown, the document window shows a completely blank page. After the page goes blank, document window remains empty until the document is reopened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ghostscript version (or include output from "gs -h"): 8.62 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Where you got Ghostscript: Ghostscript.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hardware system you are using (including printer model if the problem involves printing): Memory: 384MB CPU: Intel Pentium II 400 Sound: ESS Solo-1 Video: Neomagic MagicMedia 256AV ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operating system you are using: Windows 98SE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Suggested fix, if any: GSview must not draw blank pages when user tries to navigate beyond a document that has no page information. For document with no or incomplete page information, GSview should decide the number of pages a document contains by one of following methods: 1. Calculate the pages based on the amount of canvas space the document consumes, dependent on media size. 2. Assume it has only 1 page, with page size equal to the amount of canvas space the document consumes. Method 1 should be used for media with fixed canvas sizes, such as print. Method 2 should be used for media with variable canvas sizes, such as screen. GSview should support both views when viewing a document.
GSview can't know if there is anything more to display in a non-DSC document until it tells ghostscript to continue from a showpage (which erases the page after display it), and ghostscript returns. If the document had correct DSC comments, then GSview can do a much better job.
