Restore Last Session not remembered in v10.2.0.384?

Post by Joxon »

I just downloaded PDF-XChange Editor v10.2.0.384 portable. I have 4 documents opened. When I close PDF-XChange Editor and open a random pdf the other 4 documents are gone. I have ‘Restore Last Session when application starts’ enabled, so I think this is a bug.

Hello Joxon,

I've managed to reproduce that - reporting it to our devs now.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, again everyone.

We have just heard back from the team, this is not a bug, but a new intended handling.
Restore last session will not trigger if the Editor is opened with new arguments, as detailed in this request: viewtopic.php?t=40610

Last session is still remembered, but you will need to open the Editor without any new file arguments to get the behaviour.

Kind regards,

I truly can’t see the benefit of this ‘improvement’. As a proofreader I always have several manuals and manuscripts opened on specific pages. When PDF-XChange Editor is closed and I accidentely open a new pdf I lose all my settings. The only way to be safe is to make a backup of Settings.dat each time I exit PDF-XChange Editor. This is so clumsy! :?

Hello Joxon,

Thanks for your feedback! I've passed it along to our developers, and they would consider what could be done!

Kind regards,

Me too.

An option like "Always restore sessions" could be added.

Hello Toygun,

Can you please install build 385 - as it seems to be working as before 384.

Kind regards,
Stefan
