Description Dj 2022-10-13 14:21:07 UTC

SUMMARY:
Opening Okular does not keep 1.4 scaling but needs to be changed to 1.3 then back to 1.4 now it changes correctly. I must do this every time Okular is opened. Also Okular does not allow opening files from connected hard drives, they must be in /home or nothing.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. results are the same every time Okular is opened 

OBSERVED RESULT
no change


EXPECTED RESULT
Okular uses the scaling factor, allowed to open files from connected drives

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon 
 
Qt Version: qt5ct

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
none

Are you using Okular from a Flatpak?

Comment 2 Dj 2022-10-15 00:32:14 UTC

I installed Okular from Mint software manager there is no mention of flatpak

Thanks. Can you please paste the output of `flatpak list` run in a terminal window?

Also what exactly happens when you try to open a file on another drive?

Ok, so not a Flatpak. Thanks.

Where are you looking? Can you attach a screenshot of the thing you're looking at where you expect to see external drives?

i accidently closed the menu bar and now even reinstall doesn't return 
it. there is now no menubar so no access to any documents or drives or 
tools.

Also i must reset screen scaling every time i open Okular to match my 
desktop or the app is too small to read.

You can hit Ctrl+M to show the menubar again. Or you can click on the icon in the right-most position of the toolbar to open a hamburger menu. It doesn't have a hamburger icon for reasons related to the theming being off on your system.

Comment 11 Nate Graham 2022-10-18 16:40:11 UTC

Ok, so the problem is that when you select File > Open in Okular, you see the default Qt file dialog, not the KDE file dialog, which is much nicer and shows more items.

This would suggest that the KDE platform integration bits are missing. This would also explain the weird widget style and icons. I don't know enough about how the stack works to be able to say whether this is a Mint packaging bug, or an Okular bug, or something else.

Comment 12 Dj 2022-10-18 16:45:30 UTC

Obviously you know a great more than I do. Thank you for the great help. 
I will wait to see if there is any fix for this issue.

A tremendous thanks for your consideration and help
