What I was > thinking looks kinda like this: That feature is implemented in evince since the first versions, so it seems it's not working for you. What evince version are you using? Newer versions use gio metadata to store per document settings, including the page number, so make sure you have gvfs installed. > You open a file, say ldd3.pdf. Evince looks in > ~/.gnome2/evince/saved_locations to see if there is an entry for > ldd3.pdf. If there is not, the document is opened at the beginning. If > there *is* an entry, evince goes ahead and scrolls to that location (or > whatever else there is to implement it). When you close evince, the > location is saved to that file. > > I'm not set on that location for storage, I don't use gnome (just parts > of it), and that was the directory I found on my box that stored evince > settings.
