aaaand, years later, this bug persist. It is clear that a higher priority needs to be applied, this is probably one of the most annoying bugs I ever confronted...
Pease guys, someone fix this. I'm running Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04 with Gnome 3.12.2 and the problem persist when a third-party app triggers a pdf to be open. Firefox, sublime, texmaker... when evince opens, none of the preferences are recognized. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503372 Title: Evince doesn't retain settings in Lucid Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “evince” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: evince evince (2.30.1-0ubuntu2) lucid-proposed; urgency=low . * add debian/patches/02_fix_dot_dir_creation.patch: fix dot dir creation when launching evince directly (LP: #571725) . evince (2.30.1-0ubuntu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream release: Bug fixes: - Make inverted colors mode work in presentation mode too (#614693, Carlos Garcia Campos) - Respect GNOME22_USER_DIR env variable (#613637, Ray Strode) - Fix loading of local documents when uri contains a page destination (#616515, Carlos Garcia Campos) - Take default settings from last document opened.
