           Summary: Provide view option for choosing if the first page of a
                    document is odd or even
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tom_t at gmx.at


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I am currently writing my thesis which will be a two-sided document. Therefore,
I usually have the "Facing Pages" option enabled to get an impression of the
final page layout.

However, okular always assumes that the first page is on the left and thus an
even page (although it's clearly an odd page). So I end up having my odd pages
on the left and my even pages on the right, getting the opposite of what I
wanted.

I am aware of the "Center first page" option which can be used to work around
this issue. But I would like to have the first page displayed on the right
rather than in the centre, providing a more "book-like" view.
Also, this option is quite hidden and cumbersome to change for each document (I
also want to see one-sided documents quite often), so I would suggest to put a
"First page is odd" or "Draw first page on the right" switch into the view
menu. IMHO this toggle should not affect the "Overview" view mode at all
(unlike the "Center first page" option), because it does not provide a
book-like view.
