Re: [evince] One very stupid question

Dear Anuj!

Thank You for prompt response! Regarding the bug, I have problems with reproduced the described behaviour. In fact, I don't see any links at all in the automake manual document he (the author of a bug report) talks about.

The authors of this (and related) bug reports assume that "Previous" button (in my evince 3.2.1) should bring them back in history. I think there should be separated button, though. I guess it shouldn't be perceived as a bug, rather as a feature.

Am I right, that this is still unimplemented?

Best Regards,
Alex

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?
   

Hi,

I am not a developer, however, I recently came across this bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710681 , which (I think) is essentially what you suggest.

Regards.
