Christiaan: > No, the problem is that you won't accept my explanation
No, I understood your explanation and it's not relevant. You didn't explain why N numbers are needed when obviously 1 (with 4 values) will clearly do to set the state of how the entire document is viewed. > I am not saying that the information is expensive. My point is that > using this information is expensive. I agree that setting page rotations for every page would be expensive, but that's not what I want so you are thinking about the wrong parameter(s). It's could be a terminology problem but when I say 'rotate' you apparently think about the PostScript rotate command, which is not what I am talking about. > Moreover, this is NOT a bug. It's the way the program behaves. If the way a program behaved always defined what it should do then there would never BE any bugs! As far as I can see this is a design bug or (minor!!) oversight to an otherwise beautifuly built program. > For good reasons. It also does exactly what you ask it to do: reload > the data from disk (page rotation is part of the PDF data). Yes, page rotation is part of the PDF data. That's not what I'm talking about. The program does not do exactly what I ask it to do: create a stable display at the current hand (!!!!) settings. > A bug report list is NOT a place for discussion. Take a look at the discussions about SeaMonkey under bugzilla. In many cases, holding a discussion outside the bug report location is awkward at best because they are disconnected. > Moreover, I've said before, I'm not going into lengthy and > frustrating back-and-forths anymore, where I have to repeat > arguments that are subsequently ignored, and the conclusion has > already been drawn. Right. Please don't repeat your arguments again. Your arguments so far have not been relevant to the issue at hand. You have not made a logical case for needing N variables. That's why I'm asking for others to discuss this with since you apparently are only thinking about one of the three (at least) kinds of rotation and not about the thing I'm concerned with.
