SUMMARY
When I want to view an RTL pdf file in double face view, I need to go to settings -> General and check the Right to left reading direction.
then I open another LTR pdf and then I need to change the setting again!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View -> Orientation -> Facing pages
2. Open an RTL file
3. Settings -> General -> (check) Right to left reading direction
4. Close the file
5. Open an LTR file

OBSERVED RESULT
The RTL reading direction is configured for the whole application

EXPECTED RESULT
RTL is configured for every file separately

I didn't even know the RTL option existed, found out thanks to this report.
IMO, the option in the config should be the default when opening a new file, but there should also be a per-file option in the View drop down menu.
