Super, thanks for posting your solution and configuration. So we can use that also for further explanations and solutions in the near future together.
Big THANK YOU!

Thanks. Based on your explanation I solved the issue by adding the line
gtk-print-preview-command=/usr/bin/epdfview %f
to
.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
and now the preview works fine using ePDFView.

This has nothing to do with xournalpp itself as far as I can tell now from looking into the code. It is more related to gtk itself. You can try to reconfigure the default: https://blogs.gnome.org/wjjt/2022/05/30 … -previews/

Thanks for reporting: I will look into that.

When I click preview I see in the terminal
"sh: line 1: exec: evince: not found"

Is it possible to change the PDF previewer to ePDFView which is in the repos (I could not find such a setting in the menus)?
