Recents documents preview are generated each time a new window is open

Evince regenerate the preview of the documents each time a window is open. also when closing a evince window, all other instance are losing the preview and generate again the documents. I did a screncast for better understanding
I'm unable to attach the video due to size contrains , so It' uploaded on youtube http://youtu.be/-3qx81kjYYo
Check your config.log. This happens when evince is not build with libgnome-desktop support (which is optional and which provides thumbnails cache support). If it happens that your Evince was built with lignome-desktop support and the problem is still reproducible, then it is a bug. Otherwise, this bug is invalid (you can fix it by rebuilding evince with libgnome-desktop support).
I'm using Fedora 21 build of evince, yim deplist tells me the is no dependencies on libgnome-desktop. So I'll report to fedora packager. Anyway I find awkward the cache is recreated each time a evince window is closed, I guess this is not due to libgnome-desktop dep missing, right ?

Thanks for the information. It seems a bug in fedora. It is because of lack of libgnome-desktop dependency: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evince/tree/configure.ac#n303 Rather than re-implementing the cache for thumbnails, Evince relies on libgnome-desktop to do that job. However, it is only an optional depedency.
