I can confirm the reports of #16 and #17: settings are not applied when the opened file is in /tmp. I am on ubuntu 12.04 with evince 3.4.0.
I tried dumping the output of gsettings before and after selecting 'Edit - Save Current Settings As Default'. The variable is correctly set to true by evince org.gnome.Evince.Default show-sidebar true but the setting is ignored when opening a pdf file located in /tmp. Same issue apply to window size. This bug is annoying since many applications use /tmp to store local copies of pdf files. I believe we should open a separate bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682492 Title: Evince: Save Settings as default doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/682492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
