okular is a great tool for pdflatex. nevertheless, in ubuntu 14.04, okular keeps switching the navigation panel from my usual setting "thumbnails" to "content" each time pdf file is rebuild. okular should keep this setting when the pdf file is re-displayed. furthermore, okular should remember which mode the user set the navigation panel even across restarts since imho "thumbnails" mode makes for a better default setting than "contents" (but this choice should be left to the users, like many other settings like "continuous", "page fit etc). but in general, thanks for this great viewer!!! your work is appreciated! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a pdf file 2. switch the navigation panel to "thumbnails" 3. touch the pdf file 4. observe how the auto-reload switches the navigation panel back to "contents" Actual Results: auto-reload switches the navigation panel back to "contents" Expected Results: the navigation panel should keep the last mode set by the user. furthermore, the setting of the navigation panel should be kept across the sessions, ie closing the okular and reopening it (even on a different file) should preserve the last navigation panel, especially since the "contents" mode is not such a good default setting.
"furthermore, the setting of the navigation panel should be kept across the sessions, ie closing the okular and reopening it (even on a different file) should preserve the last navigation panel, especially since the "contents" mode is not such a good default setting." This is a different issue of what you are reporting, please don't mix stuff in bugs/wishes, makes it hard to focus on fixing them since they quickly become a kitchen sink. I will from now on consider that part of the text is not there.
I cannot reproduce this with the current git master. Darko, can you?
as per oliver's question
