Description Stas 2016-02-10 09:53:37 UTC

Hello, I have updated my oukular-frameworks-git AUR package and now I have a problem, that I cannot ope pdf files which contain spaces in the path or name. It does not work from terminal aud from Dolphin. However, I can open those file from within okular with the open dialog.

The Error I get is the following:
QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "raise"

So I think something is going wrong with the QT5 libraries and okular combination?!

Would be nice, when you could have a look at that bug, okular is a program I use all the time ;)
And thanks for the great job by the way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to open pdf with spaces in name or path
2. "Could not open" - error

Comment 1 Stas 2016-02-10 09:55:29 UTC

Ok, just checked: the error occurs even when a pdf file is opened (contains no spaces) so it is not the relevant information.

Comment 2 Michael Rydén 2016-02-11 12:11:11 UTC

I have the same issue. Seems that okular won't open files if the file, or the folders itself, contains any spaces. If I move the file to a folder without spaces it opens as normal.

I also get QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "raise" if I run it from terminal.

The previous version worked, so I think this is a new bug.

Same for me. This is actually one of the more annoying bugs for me, since most of my files reside on paths with spaces in it, making Okular nearly unusable. Worse, it seems to try to expand symlinks so I can't even use symlinks to circumvent this bug.

You should not be using the frameworks branch if you need to use Okular reliably, the frameworks branch is not supported, so if you're using it, is because you want, we appreciate you report bugs and people that created those bugs in the frameworks branch may eventually fix them, but don't complain it doesn't work.

Hello, from AUR site I got this hint to patch the bug:

https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126192/

See the comments here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/okular-frameworks-git/

Would be great, if it could be fixed in the git branch...

Comment 7 Aleix Pol 2016-02-26 16:15:38 UTC

Should be fixed as of:
