Where Does MuPDF Store History?
MuPDF viewer history file with per-OS roots plus cache.
Last updated
MuPDF viewer keeps history plus accelerator cache in per-OS roots. Env vars redirect both halves. Source pins the lookup with dotfile-in-cache quirks.
CLI tools stay fileless. Keep history; drop cache.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up MuPDF history?
Copy the history file with the viewer closed. Cache rebuilds from documents. Restoring means putting history back. Env var redirects anywhere.
mutool config too?
Viewer only; the mutool CLI keeps no files at all. History plus accelerator cache belong to the GL viewer. Match the tool.
