Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm using evince to view my documents
under Linux. One thing bothers me, however. It seems to
magically remember the position and settings of the window for
every document. I searched all over (the hidden directories in
my home folder, system files, gconf) for where it might be
saving those settings, but I can't find anything. Does anyone
know where those settings are?  share|improve this question  2
Answers 2  Things have changed since the previous answer was
given (October 2011). The window settings of Evince are now
being stored in binary, in the directory ~/.local/share/gvfs-
metadata/.  share|improve this answer These seem to be binary
files. Any way of figuring out what the settings actually are?

stored in the file ~/.gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml.
