Description
Created attachment 173264 opening multiple documents from a file manager
Notice: see the attachements for a graphical explanation
It would be nice if Evince could open multiple documents in one window.
Current situation [attachement 1 + 2]: opening multiple documents at once results in multiple windows
Mockup [attachement 1 + 3]: opening multiple documents results in one window showing all documents in the sidebar, enabling continuous reading: scrolling past the last page of the first document seamlessly reveals the first page of the next document. Additionally, the following features may be needed/useful:
- opening and closing each document's bookmarks in the sidebar (as shown in attachment 3; dia-manual.pdf)
- sorting the documents in the sidebar via drag'n'drop
- drag'n'drop from the file manager into the sidebar
- search through all documents at once
This way, it would be possible to read series of PDFs without combining them into one file.
