Copy location view PDF

[vu205]

Can I request a new function ?
When I click RMB, there is more button name "Copy location view" .
Function to copy zoom, scroll, X, Y, path PDF.
I can open exactly view when I use Run or Command Promt.
For example :
cmd /c start "" "C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -page 33 -zoom "193%" -scroll 0,0 "C:\1\OneDrive \Yxxxx\Material.pdf"

Hmm do you mean you want the OUTPUT of current values of the mouse location which can be done via a script using DDE commands but via cmd would need a more complex approach of "lock and load" a preset custom action which in effect you would also need as

• the first click is "context"
• second click is choose "command"
• and 3rd is read the current "mouse position etc" .

Which as a script would only be 2 steps not 3 but needs an extra EXE such as https://github.com/GitHubRulesOK/SumatraPDF-Plus/blob/master/Plus/SumatraDDE.cmd

The current EASY approach is save as a favorite to return to

The only part missing is the current zoom

this is stored as

	[
		Favorites [
			[
				Name = My Last Position
				PageNo = bm:12:2:6
				ScrollPos = 371.375 333.875
			]
		]
		FilePath = C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Downloads\Brandon Sanderson - [Mistborn 01] - The Final Empire.epub
		OpenCount = 0
		IsPinned = false
		IsMissing = false
		UseDefaultState = true
	]

@kjk
that concept of scroll to is still not as expected the scrolling even without zoom states is often not seen as working.

I tried 1 way.
I use some data in SumatraPDF-setting.txt to take data when close pdf when data of view will be saved into .txt.
After that I use autohotkey convert this data to => cmd /c start "" "C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -page 33 -zoom "193%" -scroll 0,0 "C:\1\xxx.pdf"
It is efficentcy but I have problem when open multi pdfs.

@vu205
I am NOT the developer however
It helps the developer to understand what is needed if you explain the outline reasons for the request.
I am guessing you are wanting the current file data for an external reason (not simply internal usage), which is what favorites have always been.

Currently the only way to ask SumatraPDF about the current page is via DDE query.
that exe I mentioned can export from a hotkey or icon by wait for another click but that must be customised to each users needs.
thus, I have reused that approach for different reasons

@vu205
here is an example of such a query via that cmd file I am HOVERING over the M character when the script runs and it shows all the data you ask for but you need to consider it is NOT what you might expect as it needs interpretation

path: C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Downloads\Brandon Sanderson - [Mistborn 01] - The Final Empire.epub
page: 14
pageCount: 71
zoom: -2
view: continuous
sumver: 3.7.22190
page: 14
x: 162.09
y: 132.24
ypdf: 709.76

Implemented, will be in the next pre-release.

New command Copy Location To Clipboard (CmdCopyLocationToClipboard). It copies where you're currently reading as the command-line arguments that re-open it, e.g.

-page 33 -zoom "193%" -scroll 0,0 "C:\1\OneDrive\Yxxxx\Material.pdf"

Details:

• zoom is the DPI-independent percentage, or a fit-mode name (fit page, fit width, fit height, fit content) when one of those is active, so the mode survives the round trip
• -scroll is omitted for documents that aren't fixed-page and when nothing is scrolled. -1 on an axis means "leave that axis alone"
• the page number is the page the scroll coordinates belong to

Paste it after SumatraPDF.exe in a shortcut or a script and it re-opens at that spot.

It's command-palette only (Ctrl + K, type "copy location"); bind a keyboard shortcut in the Shortcuts settings if you want one.

Thanks. It is very meaning with me.
