That sounds like a clippy-looks-like-you're-writting-a-letter idea to me. Yes you want to do that, but i know no other application that automatically opens the file on export so doing that is totally unexpected by the users. -1 from my side give how annoying it'd be for people that don't want it You are right, changing this by default would not be a good idea. This auto-open feature should be optional, e.g. like here: http://blog.gilbertconsulting.com/2010/02/how-to-control-pdf-after-exporting.html I agree with Albert here. Auto-opening would be super-annoying. Here's another idea though: display a notification that the export operation was successful, and put an "Open" button in the notification. This is what Spectacle does and people seem to like it. If a notification is too intrusive, maybe we could use a KMessageWidget instead. > and put an "Open" button in the notification.

This is it! Thanks for this idea, Nate!
