doesn't save previous pdfs

[Kris]

I just re-installed free viewer and it generally doesn't have the pdfs I was looking at in a previous session and I have forgotten how to do that.

Use FF but have FF offer me a choice and open it to external PDF Exchange viewer.

Thanks!

EDIT: it is storing them in /user/appdata/local/temp/ so every time I clear out temp stuff, it's gone.
I did set EDIT/preferences/general/destination folder for downloads from URLs to MyDocuments, but that does nothing.

Help! (2.5 build 190, Dec 21, 2010)

Thanks.

Hi Kris,

is it that you want to specify where the Viewer stores it`s Recents List so that you can empty the folder /user/appdata/local/temp/ yourself but keep your recents list intact?

I want to store the pdfs that it would store in local/temp, somewhere else. When I clear local/temp, the recent list remains intact but the pdf's are, of course gone. I want them to NOT be gone.

Hello Kris,

Then you will need to manually move the files from that temp folder.
You can use the Viewer , and right click on a file's name to get an option to open the containing folder - and as long as this is a recent file it should be easy to locate/sort by date in the temp folder.

Best,
Stefan

Bah!!!!! - Oh well.

I use a modified version of Fred Langa's very old disk cleanup batch file. I found that PDF Xchange puts the files in /local/temp/ as "read only" so I tried

cd "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp"
:: NOTE 1-2-2011 /A:-R added to not delete read only files (PDF-XCHANGE) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
del /q /s /f /A:-R *.*

That command will delete all but the read only, and the currently-in-use files.

And it seems that there generally are no other read-only files in there. So that's a work-around for me. I wonder how the hell I was doing it before????? LOL

Would be nice for futures to put that in, but I won't hold my breath!

Hello Kris,

No idea how you were doing that before
And glad that you found a solution.

I will pass the topic to the devs for consideration, but can not promise anything.

Cheers,
Stefan
