Thumbs wrong side

Post by robbevorsselmans »

Hi, I'm making a book and therefore I use a lot of packages, including tikz and hyperref. I try to use the thumbs package, but the thumbs print on the wrong side of the twosided book...
In the thumbs manual they mention something about the CurrentPage counter of the pageslts package. How can I manipulate this counter?
Or is there another way to alter the side on which the tumbs are printed?

Thanks in advance!
Robbe

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Right now it's hard to reproduce the problem. It would be much easier for to understand what's going on, if you prepare a minimum working example/.

Are you aware that odd pages (1,3,5, ...) are on the right hand side in a book?
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I know you all like to have a minimum working example, but I figured that the combination of so many packages causes the problem and think the counter is an easy workaround not related to the rest of my problem.
However, I'll try to make one

And I am aware of that :) Nice suggestion though, I wish that would have solved it :lol:


Edit: I tried to make a minimal working example, but in there everything goes perfectly fine. I even loaded all packages and it still does a good job...

I found the solution!

Placing thumbs before Tikz solved everything
