Hi !

I use Okular for various kind of documents, which different zoom and display options I set manually for each of them, what's really boring.

I'd like Okular to provide an option that remembers these parameters for each document, as Dolphin remembers display options for each folder.

Is it possible ?
Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2009-07-14 16:07:14 UTC
Zoom is already saved per document, automatically.
Comment 2 Emmanuel Bourgerie 2009-07-14 18:05:57 UTC
Ok for the zoom, but it would be usefull to remember the display.

Thanks for the information :)

I don't know if this is what is meant by "display" but if you use Okular with Kile to produce slides (e.g. using the beamer latex package), every single time the pdf is updated, Okular requires you to once again say whether you want to allow full screen mode or not. I would not even mind if I had to tell it once per editing session but every time I regenerate the pdf? (And when I'm adjusting something visual such as a presentation, this happens quite frequently.)

If I generate the pdf X times without answering Okular's query, it makes me answer the question X times before showing the pdf.

If the relevant tab in Okular is not active, the entire application disappears and I have to get it back using alt-tab before answering the question and finally seeing the pdf.

Please report a new bug instead of hijacking an existing one.

Isn't that a display option? That is, why is it different?
Comment 7 reescf 2012-10-19 22:43:35 UTC

Anyway, as asked, I reported this as a new bug (308683). I've included the non-zoom bit of the original reporter's bug together with what I said and an explanation of why I am reporting what appears to be the same issue (from my point of view - I'm assuming it is technically different given the request to open a new bug) as a new bug.

i.e. bug 308683
Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2012-10-21 20:46:16 UTC
Emmanual can you please explain which "display options" would you like saved?
Comment 10 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-08 08:43:27 UTC
No answer for years.
Comment 11 Tom Warnke 2014-11-26 09:43:06 UTC
Sorry for warming up this old bug, but it fits my problem quite well. I'm opening a lot of pdf files, some of them presentations, some of them normal documents. As Okular remembers whether it should display files in continuous mode application-wide, I find myself switching that mode on and off a lot. So - for me - an important "display option" to save per document would be continuous mode on/off.
Comment 12 Albert Astals Cid 2014-11-26 20:43:13 UTC
Please open a new wish and be clear about what would you save, this bug was never clear of what people wanted saved.
