Comment 1 for bug 2003716

Hi,

Personally on venturra,
I'm opening file by starting to use ps2pdf
and then opening it with preview.

I guess that you can create an script that is register as an app.
Such that you can use that trick if you double click on a file/...
But I never investigate that.

For the display diagrams command of madgraph, I have implemented the above trick within MG5aMC
and this should be part of the LTS (Long Term Stable) version (2.9.13) and of the latest release version (3.4.2)

PDF is not a text file format, so I do not know how to write those and would need a (cpu extensive) converter so I would not run the converter systematically.
I would consider, for the future, an option that would force to run a converter (like the option preventing to generate those eps file).

Cheers,

Olivier
