[Glide]

I have the same problem.
What I would expect is Evince keeping the last window position/dimensions.
It's not and it opens each time small at the top right hand corner of the 
screen.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 287646] Re: Default window size is unhelpfully small

[colin hercus]

Hi,
I'm also having this problem but it doesn't fit b3bnmores scenarios.
Using Ubuntu 11.10, eVince 3.2.1

1. every time a pdf is opened it is on left of screen and close to top and it's 
vertical size is about 50% of screen.
2. I always have to drag screen to right and down and then resize the window.
3. I 've tried menu EDIT | Use Current Settings as default but it makes no 
difference, the window always opens in the same place. This is case whether I 
reopen the pdf I was using when I clicked before mentioned menu or if I open a 
new pdf. I cannot find any other options for setting default screen size.
4. If I open several pdfs each new one is lower by height of the title bar.

It would be nice if windows opened with fontsize large enough to be
readable, 100% of original or perhaps smaller to fit page size on
screen.

Thanks, Colin

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 287646] Re: Default window size is unhelpfully small

[b3nmore]

There are 3 slightly different situations we should clarify when discussing 
this bug:
1) the pdf was opened before - evince open its exactly as it was closed 
(should work with newer versions)
2) the pdf wasn't opened before, but default settings were set by the user via 
Edit-Menu - evince uses these settings. Works, except for pdfs stored in /tmp, 
like files downloaded by browsers  (but this is fixed upstream: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680145).
3) evince was never used before or no default settings were set manually - 
evince should use some sane (depending on the screen size?) 'default' default 
values. This is probably the issue we should discuss here.

I'm wondering why this 4 years old bug is still unsolved. It should not
be too difficult to remember the last window size and position and
restore these settings at next launch.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 287646] Re: Default window size is unhelpfully small

[Thibaut Brandscheid]

When opening a PDF in Precise, the upcoming default Evince window is too
small to read the content comfortable. This is a work flow interrupt
because you have always to resize every Evince window opened.
