Description Jean-Francois Nifenecker 2023-01-20 08:53:50 UTC
Hello,
when repeatedly calling the document preview (eg. in the final document edition times), that window doesn't keep the previous settings that were set at the previous call (in the same session).

Example: 
1. Open a document with more than 2 pages. 
2. Call the preview (File > Print preview).
The preview is in "Two pages preview" preview mode (2nd tool from the left in the Preview toolbar).
3. Set the preview to "Book preview" (3rd tool from the left in the Preview toolbar)
4. Close the preview window.
5. Open the preview again: the display is back to "Two pages preview".

When in the final document edition time, it would be nice to find the previous setting as it was set: keep the "Book preview". Currently, this requires to get to the "Book preview" toolbutton and click it every time which breaks the workflow.

Not sure about remembering the zoom value, though.
