Hi,

For reading PDF files i use the program: Sumatra PDF Reader
Since version 3.5.2 i find a problem:
When i used the old version the program always starterd with a screen-menu with icons of all the PDF i have used before
I then can click an icon to start reading a PDF file

Since 3.5.2 After i have read some PDF files, Sumatra PDF does not start with the menu with the icons of all the PFFs i used but start with displaying th latest PDF i used
What can i do to get he old situation back?
What i want is, when i start SumatraPDF, that it start with a menu and displaying Icons of the rememberd PDFs i used, so can choose which PDF to start reading
(See attachment)

Not sure why for PDF reading you just don't use Ms Edge, or Firefox. PDF editing is another issue -- if though you just want to READ pdf's then use one of those browsers - the facility is built in.

In Advanced Options set NoHomeTab to false, and, set RestoreSession to false, Save and restart Sumatra...

Dear Edwin,

Your advice was: Change: nohometab = false (Was already: false)
Change: restoresession = false (Was: true, changed it to false)

I did what you asked and it works, fine, thank you
