Version: 0.9.2 (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I often experience that when I open a new pdf in okular I start on page 2 or 3. That doesn't make so much sense to me, and I figure it's a bug. It makes lot of sense to start the same place in pdfs that you've already read in.
Is it possible that the names of the files are the same?
hmm. could be. Most of them are from the internet with a url like download.aspx?****** I actually thought that okular used something more unique, like an md5sum or something...
We use the size of the file and the name of the file so it's quite probable you are having "bad luck" and hitting a repetition in this case. Yes, that would be a bug, the problem is that using an md5sum is going to be SLOOOOOOOOOOOW
I opened a pdf inside konq by clicking on a link. For sure I have never seen it before and the name is not generic, but I still started on the bottom page 4. The end of the document. The link http://www.novell.com/rc/docrepository/public/14/basedocument.2008-08-18.5332479450/4611206_ThinClient_en.pdf Is it possible that when Okular opens a file directly from the web, that something screws up in the recognization and it just thinks it's different file from the web. E.g. if all files that were to be downloaded directly into okular were called temp.pdf or whatever.
I'm going to set this as works for me. It should really work and you're the only person that has reported such a bug in years so i think something weird may have been having with your installation. Please if it has happened to you recently reopen the bug. Thanks for caring about Okular :-)
