Contents pane only shows page #'s (w/editor 302)

[jpaul]

Hi,
I tried using editor 302 build, since release comments suggest it will
eventually replace viewer (using 211.0) and renders faster with better gui.

I find editor is failing to show correct contents section of pdf, the contents window pane
just enumerates the individual numbered pages. ie
Page 1
Page 2
(and by clicking can directly jump to them)

I see this problem on all pdf's and cannot find a gui option to correct it ?

Regards, Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the post - could you please send an example file, as I can't seem to reproduce this my end.

Will,
Hi this is a link to an arbitrary pdf unix manual I took off of web

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/7thEdMan/v7vol1.pdf

which has
cover
Introduction
permuted index
with viewer, but
Page 1
Page 2
with editor

Ok maybe I see my error, I had bookmark pane ^B visible in viewer, which I had
thought was the contents and have always had on by default since provides
hierarchical/navigable contents of doc - there is actually no content pane available in viewer ???
(under 'view' menu or 'view->other-panes ')

In comparison editor has view->other_panes->content

so editor/viewer are a bit inconsistent, seemingly no contents in the viewer.
But now I have enabled the bookmarks in the editor I am sorted.
Personally bookmark view is essential to navigate the doc.

Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting back to me and glad to hear that you're sorted!

A note on the Editor Vs. The Viewer - The Editor is actually a partial release of what will be, when finished, Version 3 of the Viewer, so the Editor is bound to have some features that aren't/won't be in the Viewer. At the moment, the Editor also won't have all of the features of the Viewer, but these are being implemented as we speak. Eventually, the Editor will replace the Viewer and all of its features, along with many that are new.

Cheers, hopefully that clears things up for you
