Bug Description

In evince 0.6.1 you can no longer add the "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" buttons to the toolbar. In Dapper all you had to do was Edit->Toolbar and then you could drag these buttons onto the toolbar. Now these buttons are not listed under Edit->Toolbar. I found those buttons very useful when browsing PDFs.

I've found that this functionality still exists in evince and was able to add these buttons by editing a config file. However thats hardly a solution especially since this worked fine in Dapper.

To enable the buttons via config file:
Edit ~/.gnome2/evince/evince_toolbar.xml

Add the "ViewZoomIn" and "ViewZoomOut" sections as below:

 <toolbar name="DefaultToolBar" hidden="false" editable="true">
    <toolitem name="GoPreviousPage"/>
    <toolitem name="GoNextPage"/>
    <separator/>
    <toolitem name="PageSelector"/>
    <separator/>
    <toolitem name="ViewZoom"/>
    <toolitem name="ViewZoomIn"/>
    <toolitem name="ViewZoomOut"/>
  </toolbar>

I am not able to reproduce that. I just started evince 0.6.1-0ubuntu1 and choose Edit->Toolbar, the 'Zoom In' and 'Zoom Out' buttons are both listed and I can add them to the toolbar.

Andreas,

I'm surprised that you didn't have any problems. I just did a fresh install (clean format) of Edgy on a new machine and had this issue. I wonder whats different (better) about your setup.

I am now able to reproduce this too on a new user account. This error didn't happened with my existing account, it looks like my old configuration data prevented this bug from appearing.
