Sessions and Last Page Used

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hi,

If I'm just reading an ordinarily-opened document, the system will recall whatever was the last page I am on. I'm thinking this is related to this setting:
2022-10-23_20-04-07-661.png
I use Sessions a lot as I'm comparing one document against a few volumes of criticism. Seems like, the Session info keeps only the page that the Session was created on?

That's a bit cumbersome as, since I'm working through the text, I'm a bit father beyond the what that it was when I created the session.

Is there any way to have Session either NOT recall the Session-ed page number, or a switch I'm missing so that they do so?

Finally, if neither case is true - any clever workarounds you can see for a 6-volume session? So that, I could quickly re-open a set of comparative works without needing to recall whatever page I was on?

Thanks! :D

Hello, shade-cabin-hammock

Regarding the options to restore the layout, that is controlled and can be disabled from the "manage sessions" menu:

If you set this option to "just open documents from the session" instead of "restore whole session including layout", you will find that the editor can use the settings you mentioned before. If you leave this on the default setting however, the session will force the open position, and will not respect the settings you mentioned before.

Kind regards,
