There has been a bit of discussion on how the "Previous view" / "Next view" buttons are (best) used - should they track only currently opened pages or include documents that were closed on the way?
But I haven't found comments on the underlying funtion - namely the actual history of navigation.
Where is it stored?
Is it accesible to the user?
Perhaps even exportable (e.g. as a text file with name of the PDF and page and ...), like the "Sessions" options for opened tabs (although that's a bit different)?
Why would one want something like that? Well if you're writing a thesis or anything else that's complex - and requires jumping between PDFs and positions therein - that track is actually something like a fingerprint of your "thinking-history". Especially valuable if you leave off and return a week later...
Word has it (press the curly back arrow long enough - and you'll see the list).
Gimp has it (an entire pane dedicated to your graphic work history).
Currently history of changes is stored in memory and is not accessible to the user, nor can it be exported. This history is cleared once the application is closed, and cannot be recovered after that point.
You do raise some good points for how and why this could be used, so perhaps after some consideration we could change this in the future, but at the moment I am afraid that these options simply do not exist.
