The zoom option "Best Fit" isn't default. If it really is a best fit then it should be default...

If the PDF standard demands other behaviour, I would appreciate an option to choose "Best Fit" as my personal default.

(feature request, low priority)



Currently the default is whatever have been used last, more or less.

It's a (minor) nuisance when you have PDF with very different page sizes.

If you open a 100x100mm flyer zoom it at 400% and then try to open a 2600x950mm kakemono it doesn't work on a 32bits CPU. You can try to open evince with no file but then you can't change the zoom factor! So open a recent file, change the zoom, exit, and retry the big one.... For smaller sizes it works but it's very slow, evince can use more than 1.5GBytes of RAM very quickly.

For me, whatever you want but not the last one used :) It's ok to keep it when opening a recent file though, as it's done now. Best fit may be the fastest.
