'You are absolutely right that Evince uses GVfs (the Gnome Virtual File
System) to store its bookmarks.'
thanks for the link. After installing gvfs my evince is now also
remembering the last page.
And I also saw that it was not working in a firejailed calibre.
I figured out that the following lines added to
/etc/firejail/calibre.local will allow evince started from firejailed
calibre to remember the page:
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/gvfs-metadata
ignore private-tmp
You can try adding it to your calibre.local as well.
I'm not sure if this should get submitted upstream, as not every
calibre user is using evince as a PDF viewer, or wants to grant it
access to gvfs (which can also contain sensitive data of other
applications).
Kind regards,
Reiner

Hi Reiner, It works well with 0.9.64.4-1~bpo10+1. Yet Evince always opens a pdf book at page 1 while normally it opens where you have stopped reading it.

E.g. 0.9.64.4-1~bpo10+1 from the oldstable backports, or if you are meanwhile running stable 0.9.70-2~bpo11+1 from the stable backports? Also Evince doesn't save metadata - the last read page as an example. I think Evince doesn't support this in general. Also when running Evince without Calibre and outside of firejail, it does not save the last page. Or am I missing some setting to turn that on?
