Preview settings no working - High Sierra
I am trying to open several PDF files using Preview in one window (i.e., I want the files to show up in one preview pane with the side bar showing the thumbnails for all the files).
I have already adjusted the settings under Preview > Preferences > Images to be "Open all files in one window" but this makes no difference. I have quit the application and restarted it, but to no avail.
The answer for Re: Preview opening files in separate windows - High Sierra does not answer another users similar issue. In fact, the suggested steps are precisely what the OP said they already tried.
I also do not want tabs preferred because I often open hundreds of files at once (e.g., lots of plots against which to cross compare), which would be a nightmare in tab-form.
