Feature idea: "Favourite modes"

drleper · 05-29-2013, 09:27 PM

Reading scientific papers on my Onyx Boox M92 is very good, but I find myself constantly setting a custom zoom level of 240 (this seems best for me when reading two column PDFs), then going back to the menu and selecting "Paper Mode".

I think it would be really cool if we could define a number of custom/favourite modes that would auto-set the zoom level and reading mode in one "click".

It could automaticaly ask when document is oppened for the 1st time which setting template should be used.

And I would also like separate document settings for portrait and landscape to be stored with document. Would help when frequently switching between portrait and landscape. It should not be much work. Just add 2nd set of document page parameters to database and use them when the page is rotated.

That's interesting. Good idea!

That would be really nice. I have a lot of separate, but similar PDF's and I always find myself having to set zoom to 180, mode to paper mode and exit full screen. If that could be done quicker..

To simplify the realisation of first version of this idea, I suggest to add "Save as default" button. It should save a set of settings (which I think should include also selected toolbar, scribble thickness, exit confirmation, fullscreen mode, etc.) and use it for all further launches of this application.
