--- Begin Message ---Package: zathura Version: 0.2.6-1 Severity: wishlist Hello again, I thought of another feature that it would be really great to have in zathura: there should be an option to set a number of pages to prefetch into the page cache. Proposed name and description (for the man page) follow: pages-prefetch Defines the number N of pages (after and before the currently visible one) that will be prefetched into the page cache. This ensures that the page cache will always contain at least the currently visible page, the next N pages, and the previous N pages. Values larger than (page-cache-size - 1)/2 will be reset to this theoretical maximum. · Value type: Integer · Default value: 1 With this new feature, it would be possible to get rid of the rendering delay that causes an unpleasant short blanking/flicker when the user steps pages forward or backward (for instance, when showing a PDF presentation...). I hope this is feasible. Please implement this feature and/or forward my bug report upstream. Thanks again for your time!

This wasn't implemented as a option, but zathura now prefetches pages close to the current page (previos and next page from the currently visible ones). So scrolling is smoother and there is no need for an additional setting. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
