continuous view always

Asked by Peter Passchier

Sorry if this has been answered before... Couldn't find anything on this.
Is it possible to always open in Continuous view mode?
I tried setting "continuousMode=true" in ~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf but that didn't help.
Thank you for your attention, Adam!

Hello,

there is no setting to force continuous mode, but basically if you select it and never deselect it, it should always be active.

With version 0.4.9 the handling of these settings is as follows:
* Whenever you change an option like continuous mode this is saved as a per-tab default. (This is the entry you found in the configuration file.)
* When a file is opened, this per-tab default is used to initialize the view settings.
* But these settings maybe overridden by the document-supplied defaults. (But those can only request continuous mode, not disable it.)
* And then these settings are again overridden if you enabled per-file settings which will load those options which you used the last time this particular path was used.

In short: If you do not use per-file settings, continuous mode should stay active if it was active once. If you do use per-file settings, then, well, you get per-file settings. (Using any tool to edit SQLite databases, you could patch up your per-file settings to always include continuous mode if you really wanted to.)

Hope this helps. Best regards, Adam.

Great, thanks. I do use per-file settings, and I hadn't changed it on all tabs, but now all is well. It's really the best pdf viewer!!
