Description jos poortvliet 2006-01-02 15:02:44 UTC
Version:           0.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.15-rc6-ck1

the toolbar disappears every time i do alt-enter to make the window fullscreen. nice feature, but i hate it... of course it doesn't mean it should be removed, but shouldn't it remember the fact i put the damn thing back every time i use the fullscreen mode in Kpdf?? no additional config, just a bit more logical behaviour...

btw this doesn't work in oKular either, i don't know the ties between oKular and Kpdf, but as oKular currently just looks like Kpdf + a nice GetHotNewStuff... :D (and i can't file bugreports for oKular, its not on bugs.kde.org, it seems).

another small suggestion, you guys have seen the GREAT new startup windows in the Koffice apps? they amazed me - sooooo cool... maybe Kpdf can use this too :D

btw Kpdf belongs, togheter with Koffice and codeine, imho, to the best KDE apps - usabillity-wise!

errr, did not understand a single word :D Seems danenglsih and spanglish are not fully compatible :-D

You meant that after going to fullscreen and making the toolbar show (showing the menu, usign the menu and hidiing it i guess?) it does not remember that you want the toolbar shown when you go again to fullscreen?

About oKular, no, the nice thing is not GetHotNewStuff, it is ps and chm support, but don't file bugs agains oKular if they are also in kpdf as i'd branch port fixes when needed.

LOL sweeeet ;-)

ok, do this: start kpdf with a file, then doe ctrl-shift-F. the window goes full-screen. notice, the toolbar and menu disappear.
now, ctrl-shift-F brings you back to the normal window, WITH toolbar.

but - now i want the toolbar in the full-screen window. that's possible: when fullscreen, you do ctrl-M and the menu appears. choose settings - show toolbar, and there you are. ctrl-M lets the menu disappear again. (a right-mouse-button on the pdf should show 'show menubar' i think...).

so now we're happy - toolbar, fullscreen. hey, got mail. ctrl-shift-F -> read mail. back, 2 problems:

- the window, previously maximized (then fullscreen) is now small, on the top-left of the screen. ???
- after you maximized it, and hit ctrl-shift-F - the toolbar you added - gone. so you'll have to ctrl-M -> choose show toolbar -> ctrl-M again.

the first problem i reported already, the second is what this bugreport/whish is about: can we keep the toolbarsetting when switching between full-screen and normal...

after i actually READ your answer, i can only say: YES. sorry...

and sorry for my misunderstanding about oKular, too.
Comment 4 Albert Astals Cid 2006-01-02 20:02:21 UTC
I'm tempted to close that as WONTFIX as the fullscreen mode is there because you want max screen space and that's why the toolbar is removed, but i'll leave it as maybe i'll change my mind in the future
Comment 5 jos poortvliet 2011-12-12 23:49:05 UTC
Any chance you'll change your mind on this one :D

I do still think it makes sense to remember the change an user painstakingly made. ctrl-M, then settings -> enable toolbar. It's not exactly trivial so why not keep it if that's what the user wants?

;-)
