Sentry Crash Report:

Description Thomas Weißschuh 2013-02-20 20:06:37 UTC

When controlling an existing instance of okular with okular --remote the exising instance will become the focused window. This has been requested in bugreport 304526.
As there are usecases for both behaviours a config option or a commandline switch to okular --unique would be nice to have.

Usecase:
When using okular as previewer for synctex and forward search is triggered via an editor shortcut, okular claims focus which is taken from the editor.

Thanks in advance!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start okular with "okular --unique"
2. Call "okular --unique <some_file>.pdf" from a terminal
Actual Results:  
The okular window gains focus.

Expected Results:  
The terminal from which the second call was made keeps its focus.

Happens on 0.16.0 and 27c37c1fd1b87e

You are asking me to revert what we did because someone asked me to do what i did.

How do we solve this?

A --noraise param?

Comment 2 Thomas Weißschuh 2013-02-21 07:58:47 UTC

I certainly do not want you to plain revert it.
After all there is a usecase for the current behaviour.
I only wanted to make you aware of a usecase for the behaviour before the change.

A --noraise param would be perfect.

Add command line argument noraise

This path add new command line argument noraise. Window will not be raised with argument noraise.

I tried:
okular
okular -noraise
okular -noraise file_exist.pdf
okular -noraise file_not_exist
okular https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=46889 --noraise
okular https://nonexisturl --noraise
okular -unique -noraise file_exist.pdf
okular -unique -noraise file_exist.pdf && okular -unique file_exist2.pdf
okular -unique -noraise file_exist.pdf file_exist2.pdf
okular -unique file.pdf && okular -unique -noraise file2.pdf
okular -unique -noraise file.pdf && okular -unique file2.pdf
