PDF viewer: better display option for twosided documents (facing view) #1165

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If you have a twosided document and switch the internal PDF viewer to facing 
view (named "Zweiseitenansicht" in german translation of texmaker), it starts 
with the titlepage of the document on the left, and the backside of the 
titlepage on the right. If you imagine how it would be printed, the titlepage 
would be on top and if you open the document / flip the page, the backside of 
it is on the left, facing the third page on the right.
In my opinion this is the way it should be displayed, because as it is realised 
now, all further pages in the document do not match the "real" facing view in 
the printed document.
I suggest an option like "facing-view with single titlepage", so that the 
titlepage is displayed centered or on the right and the facing view starts with 
page two on the left. Other readers have options to do that, but as they don't 
support jumping to the tex code and backwards (what I like to do), it would be 
nice to have that option for the internal viewer of texmaker.

Please, please add this. I am an author and use TexMaker exclusively. I would 
really appreciate being able to see in the PDF the layout that I have designed 
for the book.
Many thanks,
Mike
