Xpdf: Saving settings

[thane]

I usually view pdf documents by downloading them to a directory on my USB stick and changing the filter in Xpdf to the document directory. I generally select continuous view as well. However if I exit Xpdf and run it again, these setting changes are lost. Is there a way to save them?

To turn on continuous view:

1. Copy the config file to /home/tc

$ cp /usr/local/share/xpdf/sample-xpdfrc /home/tc/.xpdfrc

2. Add the following stanza to .xpdfrc

continuousView yes

I don't think you can change the default file directory.

The program searches for files in the directory from which it is launched.

Thanks. I'll try this.

There's also command line options (see -cont).

...changing the filter in Xpdf to the document directory

What filter do you mean?  If it's just the directory (as mentioned above), then you could use a script, i.e. `cd /some/path && exec xpdf`
