Bug Description

With the option "Auto-refresh", a warning is displayed whenever the PDF is being rebuilt. This is severely annoying.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~adamreichold/qpdfview/trunk/view/head:/sources/pluginhandler.cpp#L215

Having an option to disable this somehow would be great, maybe include in the quiet option (but that can't be set permanent in the options?)

Hello,

if PDF preparation takes so long that qpdfview tries to open an half-baked document, you should probably try to to increase the auto-refresh timeout first as described in the manual page.

Hello again,

in any case, you should look into increasing the timeout since partially built documents sometimes even crash Poppler. However, I'll reduce this warning to a console message since the current implementation will actually make the "--quiet" option useless, i.e. "--quiet" suppresses the final warning but not the one about the unkwon file type. This just hit trunk and should be in the daily built packages soon.

Regards, Adam.

Thanks for the prompt respons! I just removed the line and recompiled, so I haven' tested the timeout setting.

Reducing to a console message is probably a good idea.

Thanks
