You previewed the file, right? That's the Okular "part", not the full Okular app. Can you attach a screenshot of the viewer alongside Okular itself so we can see the different sizes?

Here's the screenshot of two pdfs one zipped and the other not zipped. Created attachment 131753 [details]
Ark and Okular
Thanks. Are you using a global scale factor or have you changed the font size or font DPI at all? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Thanks.

Was the default DPI something other than 96 when you changed it to 96? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #8) > Was the default DPI something other than 96 when you changed it to 96? To be sincere I don't remember what was the default value because it's more than a year that I installed Manjaro on my machine. > why it doesn't have the same icon size that is used in normal use case.
Because these two applications are using two different rc files. You can configuring icon sizes by right-clicking the toolbar.

Why should there be two applications with two rc files if they are launched by same user ? is there any benefit of this implementation ? on Windows the pdf viewer (Adobe reader, Foxit, Sumatra) that open a pdf preview from zipped file has the same settings used in normal case. Is this weird Ark behavior implemented for each application that open a preview of zipped file ? On Windows the complete application is embedded, not only a part of it. KParts requires the hosting application to offer the menubars and toolbars, that's why the configuration of them is part of the application, not part of the KPart. You are free to discuss this, but also remember that changing this requires someone working on it, ideally without breaking the workflow of other users of KParts. What I suggest is not to use the Preview option, but just open the PDF. You can configure Ark to start the "normal" Okular when opening files. That saves you from the trouble to configure the icon sizes to match. Unless you can come up with a convincing patch, I don't see the need to change the behavior. Most users simply configure the toolbar icon size in systemsettings to be respected by all applications, instead of changing them in each application individually, and then complaining that they don't match. |
