Bug: Print dialog - Scale % not remembered between sessions

Post by Defenestration »

It always gets reset to 100%. To reproduce:

1) Set Scale % to 110%
2) Click OK (this will probably print a page)
3) Exit PDF-XChange Viewer
4) Start PDF-XChange Viewer
5) Select Print... (to being up Print dialog)

--- The Scale % will be reset to 100%.

I would not regard this as a bug at all. I am sure it is by design. Why should the viewer assume you wish to use the same scale % for different documents?

I would regard it as a bug if the print scaling remained at 110% the next time I ran the viewer. Some might regard it as a design flaw that the print dialogue remembers its settings for other documents, but I suppose some might regard that as a feature.

It remembers all the other Page Scaling settings, like "Scaling type" and whether "Auto-rotate" and "Auto-centre", so it seems odd that it does not remember this setting.

Looks like we need to make voting "Which options from Print dialog should be remembered" :lol:
