GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 660916
View resets to 'Best Fit' whenever I click on any item on the Index pane
Last modified: 2012-11-05 19:56:26 UTC
Let's say I have my view set to 'Fit Page Width'. Now, when I click on any item in the Index pane to visit that page, the view automatically gets back to 'Best Fit'. I expect it to stay the way I had set it (in my case 'Fit Page Width'). I have only seen this for PDF files, since I don't have any djvu document that has any index content. This problem does not happen when I click on any thumbnail item. -Santanu Chatterjee
Hey, thanks for using evince. Unfortunately the information you give is not enough to identify the bug. Please consider the following questions: Which Distro are you using? Version of Evince? Version of Glib? Do you have gvfs installed? Does this happens for all PDFs? If not, can you upload a pdf where you can reproduce this?
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 beta2. Evince version: 3.2.0 GLib version: 2.30 (2.30.0-0ubuntu3) (as shown by dpkg -l) I do have gvfs installed (gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-bin, gvfs-fuse), but evince does not seem to be using it. ----------------- sc@scpad:~$ ldd /usr/bin/evince | grep -i gvfs (no output) ----------------- It seemed to me that this happens for _all_ the PDFs I have. But now that you mentioned it, I just downloaded a random pdf file from the net and it works fine on that. So, I will experiment a bit more and upload a pdf later today. Regards, Santanu Chatterjee
About uploading a sample pdf file that exhibits the problem mentioned, I am facing some problems. I don't want to upload an 18MB file. So, I tried to extract some pages by trying to print the selected pages to a pdf file. But in the process, I lose the index associated with the selected portion. I tried other programs like pdfmod, but without much luck. So, I tried to insert some bookmarks in the extracted pdf file. But then the problem no longer exists. If you have any suggestions on how to extract some pages from the problematic pdf file while keeping the associated index intact, it would be very helpful. Thanks and regards, Santanu Chatterjee
well, you cant upload a 18m test to bugzilla. I think you can either share it via some sharing service (like rapidshare or dropbox) or put it to a web account, or send it compressed to me by email.
Sent you a link to a sample pdf file that exhibits the problem I mentioned.
