I like using xpdf, but I can't find how to configure it for my prefered directories. There are two that I'd particularly like to configure: 1) the default directory that it uses when you want to open a file, 2) the default directory where you want to save a file.
Number 1 defaults to the user's home directory.
Number 2 defaults to /tmp.
Both of these are accessed via the pop-up menu with right-click on any page.
I have looked at the man pages for both xpdf and xpdfrc. I have also visited the maker's website (
www.foolabs.com/xpdf) with no joy.
The system-wide xpdfrc file doesn't refer to these locations either, AFAIK.
I'm running Debian Wheezy.
Bonus question: what governs the placement of xpdf's user-input windows? When I right-click to bring up the menu, the first window always centers on the screen, and clicking on "Open" centers the file selection window as well. However, when I select a directory the next box is located far to the right of my screen where I can't use the scroll bar, and I have to move the window to the left before I can scroll in order to select a file. I'd like that third window to center as the others do.
Thanks,
