Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-01-27 15:57:36 UTC 
If dual mode is enabled for a document that only has 2 pages, the pages are placed on the screen like this:

+--+
|11|
|11|
+--+
    +--+
    |22|
    |22|
    +--+

Showing the pages next to each other looks much better:

+--++--+
|11||22|
|11||22|
+--++--+

I know that odd-numbered pages should be placed at the right side (like in books), but documents that only have 2 pages in total really need special treatment.

It should not be hard to fix. Now we use define in the code to determine page placement order, it can be changed to variable. Btw, single page document also should be layered in that order.

Hello,

I just wanted to say:
a) for me with evince 0.5 from CVS HEAD, the pages are placed like this
     +--+
     |11|
     |11|
     +--+
+--+
|22|
|22|
+--+
b) with evince 0.4  on Ubuntu 5.10, the pages are placed like this
+--++--+
|11||22|
|11||22|
+--++--+
Comment 3 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-02-01 12:34:11 UTC 
That's because the correct behaviour (odd-numbered pages on the right side, just like in books) was added after 0.4 hit the roads.

Evince's behaviour for longer documents is fixed now, but two-page documents are a special case.
Comment 4 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2006-02-01 19:13:52 UTC 
should be fixed in CVS
