Description Martin van Es 2017-04-26 07:13:17 UTC

Like the subject says, clicking a pdf attachment and choosing "Open with Okular" does not open the pdf. A tmp file is created in /tmp.
When I try this in kmail, there is no problem and Okular simply opens the pdf I clicked. Also, the tmp file in /tmp is a valid pdf and can be opened with Okular.

When I start Kontact from commandline, I get no logging output, so I seem unable to give more info about the reason why Okular can't open the pdf?

Closing since this problem problem has magically disappeared and can't reproduce anymore.

I just experienced the bug again, this time on a docx file to be opened by libreoffice and noticed a restart of kontact is enough to work around the problem.
So it's not pdf or okular specific.
