we don't have test builds, I wrongly assumed so, because of this comment. Can you please download this test build, try to reproduce the problem with zooming, and make a log with DbgView (it should be started before editor). https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=162962#p162962 we would need ...

This is the one I'm running. I'm always running the latest.

JimmyD

The latest build with the big touch improvements still has this issue.

Could you send me a recent test build to debug? Since due to my fault, I didn't do the debug thing last time.

Many thanks for the latest update that addressed these issues.

The issue is still there.

JimmyD

Sorry for being away for so long. Is there a more recent test build I can try?

JimmyD

Having suffered from settings being reset too, I would also like to have a scheduled backup and export of PDFX settings.

JimmyD

Thanks for that, But I think PDFX should be be more resilient in these situations, and at least keep the previous settings intact, instead of clearing them completely. Well it is designed already to do this. If the settings were changed then that implies the registry was also changed. It should sim...

JimmyD

well the settings are stored in RAM until you close, which triggers writing them to the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings What I would ask you to do is export these to file as a back up that you can reload any time. Yes, I know how PDFX stores its setti...

JimmyD

Unclean shutdown of PDFX, sometimes clears many saved settings, such as saved sessions, saved settings like "Generate Bookmarks from Page Text" and input box history from "Find and Replace Bookmark Text", etc. This happened to me recently after I had to restart my Windows due to ...

JimmyD

Thanks, I understand.

JimmyD

I will do the debug thing later this week.

JimmyD

I will try the debug thing later this week.

Btw, this thread shouldn't be marked as solved.

JimmyD

Hello, JimmyD Noted, but have you ensured that there are absolutely no third party background applications running on the devices? Even something simple that adds a button to the top corner of our Editor could have an effect on touch functionality, so it is very important to disable any features li...

JimmyD

Is there any progress on this issue?

JimmyD

This happens on both my SP7 running Windows 11 and SP5 running Windows 10. PDFX is the only app on my systems that suffers from this issue.

JimmyD

I still often suffer from this issue.

JimmyD

Thanks.

JimmyD

Thanks, this feature would really help me a lot. Since I often use PDFX in split-screen on my Surface Pro tablet with OneNote on the side, and often need to collapse the pane to see the PDF content, and having to redo the search eats a lot of battery, and manually saving and opening the search resul...

JimmyD

I still face this issue of the touch keyboard not popping up, more often than not, in most input boxes.

JimmyD

Thanks.

The Advanced search criteria will be remembered

I think you misunderstood.

It's the search result that I'd like it to remember, not just the search criteria.

JimmyD

I'd like to request the ability to make the browser extension "Allow access to file URLs", so that I can use the extension on locally stored PDFs that I have opened in the Edge/Chrome browser.

Thanks in advance.

JimmyD

I'd like to request an improvement to make the (Ctrl+Shift+F) search sidebar/pane remember its last search results, after it's been collapsed and reopened again, just like in most other apps, like Foxit.

Thanks in advance.

JimmyD

Thanks.

The main reason I ask for this change, is to make it easier to scroll through large documents with fewer touch interactions. Currently, the scrolling stops too quickly.

See also, Drawboard PDF and Xodo PDF for good reference implementations.

JimmyD

I would like to request some tweaks for PDF-XChange Editor, to bring the touch scrolling momentum and inertia, more in line with Windows standards.
Good examples are the built-in Windows apps such as Mail, Calendar, Microsoft Edge, OneNote for Windows 10, etc.

Thanks in advance.

JimmyD

Thanks for the additional info. You mentioned above that this might be affected/triggered by device orientation. Have you noticed whether that definitely has or has no effect? The last time it happened I didn't rotate the device, but I noticed that I got the touch keyboard popping up again, when I ...

JimmyD

please confirm if, when you tap on a text entry field, do any items on the screen reposition themselves, and do you perhaps see the thin "dropshadow" that appears at the edges of the keyboard normally? RT#5799: Bug: Touch Keyboard does not appear. When this happens, the border of text ent...

JimmyD

Thanks.

JimmyD

Many thanks.

JimmyD

I would like to request guided/restricted horizontal or vertical touch scrolling for PDF-XChange Editor. Most touch optimized apps have a subtle feature when zoomed in, that restricts the scrolling to strictly horizontal or vertical, once they detect the initial bit of input as horizontal or vertica...

JimmyD

PDF-XChange Editor is very customizable. My favorite customization is setting it to display PDFs using a dark background with light text. This really helps my eyes. I've been doing this too by overriding the document colors in Accessibility Options and added a toolbar button to toggle it easily, bu...

JimmyD

Thanks, no need to hurry.

JimmyD

Hello, JimmyD I have reviewed this request, and created a formal FR ticket for it: RT#5797: FR: MMB in document tab bar (blank space) to open new file. Thanks, but there seems to be a misunderstanding here. I meant middle mouse button click on the Windows taskbar icon, not the document tab bar with...

JimmyD

I think there is some misunderstanding.
My request is about multi-selecting PDFXEdit UI tabs to move between different PDFXEdit windows. This is independent from the PDF content within those tabs.

JimmyD

Thanks,

I already use that feature, but that doesn't solve the issue when switching between different sessions.

JimmyD

The issue is not file dependent. It happens on input fields of the app itself, such as Quick Launch, Search, Find, etc.

JimmyD

This is probably a custom feature, as no other software that I currently use by default opens a new window when I middle click on it's taskbar. This is the standard Windows convention for opening new windows/instances of apps, since at least Windows 7. Every web browser, File Explorer, Calculator, ...

JimmyD

Now I'm facing this issue again.

I suspect it might be triggered by device orientation (portrait/landscape) change.

JimmyD

I would like to request the ability to select multiple tabs at once with CTRL + Click and Shift + Click, like web browsers, to be able to drag multiple tabs at once.

Thanks in advance.

JimmyD

I would like to request an option to keep Sessions automatically up to date, so that we don't have to manually save them each time. Kind of like what the tabXpert browser extension does.

Thanks in advance.

JimmyD

Thanks.

JimmyD

Yes, I think my request is somewhat related.

Another feature that's missing, is the ability to open a new window by middle clicking PDFX on the taskbar.

JimmyD

Thanks, I also forgot to mention in addition to page offset, shifting by a fraction of a page offset.

JimmyD

Still it would be nice to have this command open a new window, while keeping the default behavior of opening documents in a new tab in all the other cases.

JimmyD

Thanks, I've been dragging them out of the window manually, because I had that setting disabled.

JimmyD

For some strange reason, my touch keyboard automatically shows up again.

JimmyD

I just sent a process dump.

JimmyD

New Document Window command, duplicates tab in current windows instead.
