#138 The PDF did run away!

[Leandro Heck]

I was annotating a .pdf and all was working just fine.. but when I did create a new (extra) page "New Page at the end" the .pdf disappeared. I only realized that all .pdf disappeared when I changed the page style to plain.

So, there are 2 possibilities for the behavior:
1. New page at the end when annotating a PDF
2. Change page style (after a new page at the end when annotating a PDF)

The attachment shows there are no more charts behind my annotations.

I don't understand exactly what you did, but two things:

1. (new in 0.4.8, due to numerous complaints with the previous behavior): when you do "Page -> New Page at End" while annotating a pdf file, it
   used to be that the new page always had the last pdf page as background. This
   is now the case only if you have the option "Page -> New Pages Keep
   Background" enabled; otherwise the new page is now using the default
   paper style (ruled paper with white background unless you changed it).

2. (not new) when you change the style of a page to plain paper, if the option
   "Page -> Apply to all pages" is enabled then the change will be applied
   to all pages of the document, including the PDF pages. Disable this
   option if you want the change to affect only the current page.

So: if the problem is that changing the page style of the new page to
plain paper caused all pages to change to plain paper, the likely cause
is that you selected "Page -> Apply to all pages". Is this indeed what
happened?

I am trying to reproduce the error.
Sorry for my english.

Now, I did open the same pdf (right click on it, then xournal) ... then the
Xournal did load the pdf with the annotations.

Give me a minute to try reproduce this behavior.

Ok, I observe now that are no problems with new page.. but the problem is in changing style..

Looks the screenrecord in my dropbox.

Your screen record doesn't show the menus. Once again, are you sure that
"Page -> Apply to all pages" isn't checked? If this option is checked,
then a page style selection gets applied to all pages, and it is
completely normal that all the PDF pages get turned into plain white
paper. This option has been there since version 0.2.2 and its behavior
hasn't changed. Just uncheck "Page -> Apply to all pages" and it should
work again the way you want.

Hmmm, "Page -> Apply to all pages" was checked! When I uncheck "Page ->
Apply to all pages" all works fine.. sorry...
But, I think a good solution is to disable the "Apply to all pages" by
default when we chose annotate a pdf.
And better... "Apply to all pages" can be checked by default if the
original pdf pages were excluded from this action.

Leandro: this option is unchecked by default. And I think it would be
very confusing if the option turns itself on and off without the user's
knowledge depending on whether there is a PDF file or not. Also, I
really do need to be able to turn PDF pages into plain paper. (Arguably,
the converse -- turning blank paper back into PDF pages -- should also
be possible; it's a missing feature but it will take work and it's not
very high priority for me).

[Leandro Heck]

Yes, I understand that can be very confusing. I also understand that can take much time to implement. At least the undo action (ctrl+z) works well for this case. I've tested it now.

You can at least move the option "apply to all" to another place.. maybe a popup (I hate popups but it will work in this case) window asking if the user wants this configuration to be applied for all pages, for the current one or for the next pages..

I think this would be a great feature!
