Is there a way to set the preferences, I have searched their website, my home directory and the /etc. I even used Catfish and searched for evince and could not find anything that looked like it might be used to set the preferences. I don't use it often but it would be nice to have it open a document the way I like and not have to reset everything everytime.

Thanks for any help,

No, I don't think there is. Evince used to remember things like that in previous versions, but not anymore it seems.

Okay, thanks. I thought they used to do that but the more gray hair I get the less I remember.

thanks,

Certainly not a normal behaviour though. Hopefully will be fixed in future version of evince.

jbs1136, please open a bug report/feature request at evince.

Checked bugzilla and found two bugs already submitted. The first was about 2.20 and ended in 2008. There was a new bug reported in June of this year and I added a comment to it. It is marked as normal, unconfirmed in status.

This was discussed on the Slackbuilds mailing list:

GConf stuff. These GSettings functions are not available in 'our'
glib."
