Remember last opened position

[wjharing]

Is there a possibility to remember the last stored position of opened files, also when the option (Settings/advanced/remember opened files) is not checked?

It would be great to remember what page I left reading, when I close the reader and open it up next time,

the settings file "remembers" several groups of files such as last session but also file state so it should be possible within limitations.

To be able to store last page viewed two settings are required one is the file data including last page visited. thus you have 2 choices

Either manually save last page opened as a "favorite" for revisit later OR
ensure the settings are as per the need to remember files AND then their positions.

RememberOpenedFiles = true
RememberStatePerDocument = true
RestoreSession = false

Thanks, that indeed did the trick (changes in settings)

ps, is it possible to limit this 'memory' function to say the last 100 opened pdf files?

Maybe this is of no concern, but the settings.txt file is getting larger and larger, mine is currently 180kb. (or perhaps have the memory-status stored in a separate file, so that there is no chance of interfering with the settings themselves?

[GitHubRulesOK]

There is no option to limit a file size and whilst there are many suggestions to add extra features like a settings manager/editor it is not the optimal use of developers time so if somebody develops a good manager as a standalone or plugin it could be added or shown as a 3rd party tool.

I am not the sumatraPDF developer but currently I am writing a standalone HTML index script for PDFs
but it is not going to be related directly to SumatraPDF but could be useful for external use and inter related calling.

thanks for the feedback,
