[Bug] Restore session doesn't restore last used view

Post by netsonicyxf »

If there is a duplcated tab of the same PDF, e.g. Tab A show page 1 of a PDF, dulicated Tab B show page 2 of this PDF, then save these two tabs as a session.
When restore the session, both tabs show page 1.

Hello netsonicyxf,

This is due to how the last viewed location is stored. The view stored for a document is saved when the document is closed, and reopening the document, while restoring the view, will in turn go to that view. This means that if there are multiple instances of a document when the Editor closes, only the last instance to close will have its view stored, as it overwrites all the other instances as it is closed.

If you are looking to have multiple locations stored for the same document, currently the only method is to save as and open a second copy of that same document.
