Title: Xpdf: Saving settings
Post by: thane on April 05, 2010, 01:03:41 AM

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.

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

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`
