Description ndeb 2005-01-27 08:07:36 UTC 
Version:           0.20 (using KDE 3.3.2, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)

Unlike gv/ghostview which has the feature of redisplaying/reloading a document while displaying the current page, kghostview always reverts to the 1st page when the reload button is clicked. kghostview should maintain display of the same page (when possible, like ghostview/gv) when the document is reloaded.

It should also maintain other settings like orientation and paper size when reloading.  It would be very nice if it would automatically detect changes to the file and reload automatically, or at least when clicking on a new page.

It appears that double-clicking on the image affects a reload of the type wanted here, so it looks like the code is already in place?
Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2005-07-13 18:19:17 UTC 
Sorry, the previous was confusion from a user here.  Looks like "Watch File" does what we want, not double-click.  So, perhaps the View-Refresh should do the same that Watch File does when it detects a change.  Also, can watch file be set from the command line or be set to be on by default?

Thanks!

This works in Okular.
