Description Luis Villa 2006-12-07 14:53:24 UTC 
It is generally nice that evince remembers what page I'm on, but I'd like to request one exception to the rule- if I'm on the last page and close the document, 9 times out of ten that means that I've finished reading the document, so remembering where I stopped is not useful. If I reopen it, that means I'm likely desiring to re-read it- i.e., to start again *from the beginning*. So, my request is that if the document is closed on the last page of the document, the next time I open it the doc 'forget' that I was reading the last page and start me back at the beginning.

Will it just complicate save/restore logic? Another user will complain he need to read index at the end and evince jumps to the start?

I tend to agree with Luis here. The same holds for presentations.

        * shell/ev-window.c: (setup_document_from_metadata):

        Make sure Evince doesn't restore the view on the last
        page when a document is reopened. Fixes bug #383381.
