I can confirm the reports of #16 and #17: settings are not applied when the opened file is in /tmp. I am on ubuntu 12.04 with evince 3.4.0.
I tried dumping the output of gsettings before and after selecting 'Edit - Save Current Settings As Default'. The variable is correctly set to true by evince org.gnome.Evince.Default show-sidebar true but the setting is ignored when opening a pdf file located in /tmp. Same issue apply to window size. This bug is annoying since many applications use /tmp to store local copies of pdf files. I believe we should open a separate bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682492 Title: Evince: Save Settings as default doesn't work Status in Evince document viewer: Fix Released Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: evince - Open a PDF document, - set the zoom level to 100%, - select "Save Settings as Default" - Exit evince, open a brand-new PDF document that hasn't been opened with evince before - Zoom level is at 70% ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: evince 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.40-generic 2.6.35.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Nov 28 16:56:29 2010 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evince To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/682492/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
