The memory thing isn't an issue for me.
The sort of files that need continuous scroll for me tend to be simple and small and fast to load by other programs.
Would the increased memory and delayed startup only happen when continuous scroll is enabled? Is it an optional thing ?
Also, is it possible to reload the pdf on the same page (and zoom/scroll settings) it was quit from?




David

I don't think the memory usage is a real issue. The delay on opening is more than the current release, but not huge. Can you email me a typical script so I can check on a more real world example please?

I'm not sure if it's possible to avoid the preload when starting in non scroll mode.

As for the restoring the state, that should be possible in theory.

A couple of example scripts have been emailed.
Not actually ones I am working on now but ones from the site linked below that are very similar to ones I usually get and use.

The delay with those is quite minor, maybe 200ms at most. The 300+ page ones I was testing with were full of diagrams, etc and took about a second or so to load.

If you want to truly stress test, then this is the ultimate:

4200+ pages full of diagrams and photos...

That is a whopper of a PDF! It takes around 12 seconds to load. After that the scrolling and page jumps are all good though.

Hi,

what am I doing wrong?

I am not able to get the enabled state saved - after checking, saving and then re-opening preferences it is each time unchecked.

Hmmm... it seems like there's a bug in the Enable setting.

With the program closed, go into the preferences file with a text editor and change this line:

<Control Enabled="0" Port="5500" MulticastAddress="239.255.0.0"/>
Change the "0" in that line to "-1" and save the file.

You can find the file in:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Audio Visual Devices\PDF_Viewer\Preferences.xml

When you run the program again the OSC control should be enabled.
