Restore of "initial view" after viewer start

Post by Winformatik »

I have a problem, that the last view (for example one PDF with bookmark view one PDF without bookmark view) is not stored on a "per tab" base. You could reproduce the problem as follows:

Open two PDF... Set the view for each PDF to view with bookmarks... Close the XChange viewer... Start the XChange viewer again... The PDFs are viewed with the bookmarks, so far this is correct.
Now, change the view on one PDF to view without bookmark... Close the XChange viewer... Start the XChange viewer again... The bookmark view of the other PDF is gone also. For me this looks like the views are not stored on a "per tab" base and I believe this was OK before the last version of the XChange viewer. Are I'm right ?

This behavior is bad, for an example if you have open a data book (which has bookmarks) and a schematic (which has no bookmarks).

PDF XChange Viewer Version : 2.5 (Build 190.0)

Hello Winformatik,

That is indeed just as you describe it.
So I have asked for some advise from the dev guys and we will post here as soon as we have any news.

Best,
Stefan

You are right, currently our program doesn't store the document panes visibility settings per each document(tab) individually. We can add this feature to the next version V3. Thanks for you suggestion.
