Page display in viewer

[PierreMarchand20]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since the last update, the internal pdf viewer has a two-pages display by default. I did not find any option to set another default value (or I did not understand the effect of the existing settings).

And for some reasons, it is in French while everything else in VSCode is in English.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to set a one-page display by default.

latex-workshop.view.pdf.spreadMode It should be 0 by default.

[PierreMarchand20]

I thought it was this one, but I have 0 and I still have a two-pages display

[seragunn]

It's a single page view on all 3 of the machines I use; I'm not sure what's happening on your end. Can you post what settings you have set and your OS info and the logs?

Also, in your screenshot it's set to "Pas de double affichage" (single page view). Are you saying that you're seeing a two page view even though it's set to a single page view?

[PierreMarchand20]

Sorry about the picture, it is because I changed it. Here, I just opened a new viewer and I did not change anything.

Here's my OS info Version: 1.40.0 Commit: 86405ea23e3937316009fc27c9361deee66ffbf5 Date: 2019-11-06T17:09:34.601Z Electron: 6.1.2 Chrome: 76.0.3809.146 Node.js: 12.4.0 V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 18.7.0

I have seen nothing relevant in the logs

[PierreMarchand20]

Option 1 and 2 work, but not 0

[jlelong]

I do confirm that the menu is in French also in my installation despite all VSCode menus being in English.

Create a new empty directory outside this directory, and create a new simple TeX file, and do you still see this problem?

[PierreMarchand20]

I don't have this problem on a new directory. I checked with other latex projects I have and indeed, it seems to be the only one with this issue. And it was not like that before the last update.

[jlelong]

There is probably something wrong in your .vscode/settings.json file inside that directory.

[PierreMarchand20]

I don't have any .vscode directory in this directory. How could I debug ?

[jlelong]

In an upper directory maybe. It seems that something is wrong in your current vscode workspace. What does happen when you try to edit your workspace preferences? Can you check the content of the workspace settings.json file.

[PierreMarchand20]

I do not have any setting.json in the workspace, I never use local settings. And when I call Preferences: Open Workspace settings, I have the 0 for the spread mode option. It is really weird...

[PierreMarchand20]

Actually, if I create a simple tex file in the same workspace, I do not have this issue. But I really do not see how the tex file I want to view may change something when calling the viewer.

EDIT: I am trying to make a MWE, but I do not see any pattern for now

[jlelong]

I would rather bet that there is something wrong in vscode cache, see in ~/Library/Application Support/Code. Try to make a copy of it and start with a fresh one. Then, restore

User/settings.json
User/keybindings.json
User/snippets

Note that this will remove your vscode history.

[jlelong]

@PierreMarchand20 the issue seems to be related to some jerks in your local vscode files. So I am closing this issue. Feel free to ask for reopening the issue if you find more information to reproduce the bug.
