Page Thumbnails not sticking anymore

[jeffp]

In your new build of 6/28/2010 of the ViewerAX, I believe there is an issue with the Page Thumbnails and other items under Options>>View not sticking (1) when I open a new document and (2) remembering my last settings when I close and come back into the program.

I have a default settings file that I load with LoadSettings. In the prior build, once this loaded the page thumbnails would be displayed when I opened a PDF file. In the latest build, the page thumbnails are not visible when I open a PDF. And even after I turn the on after opening the first PDF, if I immediately open another PDF, they disappear again.

This seems to be the case with all the items under Options>>View.

Can you confirm that this is a bug, or that there is a new property or something I need to set in this new build.

Thanks.

Hi, jeffp

In your case - you may change the global properties:

Code: Select all

ax.SetProperty("Documents.RestoreLastView", "true", 0); // to remember/restore document's panes layout in one and more sessions.
ax.SetProperty("PageDisplay.DefaultView", "ThumbnailsAndPage", 0); // optionally, to open each new document with visible pages thumbnails pane.

See [Reference/Named Items/Objects/Documents] and [Reference/Named Items/Objects/PageDisplay] sections.

Best
Regards.

Ok. I'll try this, but why was it working in the old build and changed in the new build? Did a default change?

Hi, jeffp.

The behaviour of the application has been a little corrected(53 build) for some situations with global settings(pages zoom, pages layout, view panes layout) and initial settings of the document.
It isn't a bug - is the correct behaviour. See related topic: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... =35&t=8283
