[...] Here's a thing. In modern .pdf format there's a feature called links, which allows You to link from Your .pdf to some resource on web, or to another part of the same .pdf (say, link to equation if its math article, or to a reference item). Now, that's very convenient, and evince processes them well. What is unconvenient, however, is that unlike traditional browsers You don't have "history" of links traced and don't have "back/forward" button. So, going back to the case of math article, if I go to reference item at the very end of a paper, I than have to scroll the whole way back to where I was, and that's annoying. Hence, the question: 1. Would developers of evince be interested to see such a feature (I mean, back/forward buttons, as described above) in their application? 2. Can I work on it? (my github page: https://github.com/nailbiter )
Hi Alex, First at all, this is not a stupid question at all. Second, as Anuj Khare pointed out, it is a bug (there are some of them related to the history navigation). You are very welcome to contribute with Evince if you feel inclined to do so. In https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince you can look in the section "Looking to get busy?" on how to get involved. There are many way you could contribute and help us to make a better Evince. Regards, -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
