[Bug 503372] Re: Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid
It's a pity Evince still has these bugs after all these years, despite being such a basic application. It's unbelievable the window doesn't launch maximised when we want it, it's unbelievable the absence of a Set default zoom option. Those are the basics, honestly. The problem with the window not maximised is also that round corners provided by the (awkward) window managers don't help at all...

The behavior changed in maverick. As someone told previously, you have to explicitely save your setting in the File menu now.

The fix works. However, the window still runs in medium size, and is only resized to full size after a small but noticeable amount of time.

There's a workaround, but it's another program - Okular. In synaptic install Okular. Once Okular is open press F7 to turn off the sidebar. Then go to Settings, Configure Okular, and remove the check next to Show hints and info messages. Next, in Nautilus right-click on any pdf. Click properties, then Open with, and click the radio button next to Okular and close. Finally open up firefox, go to edit, preferences, and click on applications. Next to PDF document pull down the menu and click use other. Click the pencil at the top left and paste into the new textbox /usr/bin/okular. Now any PDF you open in firefox, nautilus, or anywhere else should open in Okular without the sidebar.

[Bug 503372] Re: Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid
I take it back. In PDFs without a table of contents, the above works. However, when there's a table of contents Okular shows it every time, and doesn't save even on a per-file basis. If anyone figures out a way to show nothing but the PDF itself please let me know. I appreciate the work of those who design Evince and Okular, but this is one situation where the newer method could drive academics slightly batty. :) -- Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I can confirm this behavior, too. What I find even more annoying is that the Toolbar is on by default--and this setting doesn't stick even in per-document settings, so I have to turn it off--with the mouse, no less, because there's no darn shortcut for it (any possibility of making one)--every time.

Precisions : evince saves settings per pdf, and has default as unmaximized and with a side panel. The previous behaviour was much more sensible.

[Bug 503372] Re: Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid
Same problem here with lucid. On first opening any pdf, evince shows a side pane with thumbnails and occupies a very small area of the screen. If I close the side pane, then resize evince to something readable on my monitor, then close evince, subsequent opening of ***the same*** pdf does not open the side pane and retains the resized display. However, opening a new pdf reverts to the original behaviour. There should be an option to permanently disable the sidebar, and the size should be remembered for all openings of all files, since desired size is more likely dependent on the desktop real estate than on the document content. Also, it never makes sense to have side panes, thumbnails or indices for one-page documents.

I think, this is the same as the upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606090 and its possible dupe https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607475. I saw the new behavior with Evince 2.29.5 on Karmic and found it utterly annoying too. Unfortunately, I haven't tested with the latest trunk, maybe it has been already reverted. While per-file settings are generally a good thing, the option to start Evince with the sidebar closed should be available. The other change from 2.28.1 - default zoom value Fit Page Width for new Evince windows - is fine IMHO. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #606090 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606090 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #607475 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607475 -- Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Would it be difficult to add 'Preferences' to Evince as are in the Adobe Reader? Nothing elaborate, just options to open with or without the sidebar and in full screen, rather than minimized.

Most are saved to disk before opening, and some seem to retain their settings for a while when opened from the drive, as opposed to directly from Evince.

It happens every time I open any PDF document. In Karmic and previous versions a PDF opened with the settings (page width, side pane or no side pane) as the last document opened. In Lucid, it always opens with the side pane and uses about a quarter of the display.
