Created attachment 179306 [details] A LaTeX source file with intentional error to create a long-standing auto-reload state SUMMARY If you open a new PDF file with Okular, while an existing PDF file is being auto-reloaded, then the new file will replace the existing one, instead of being opened in a new window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Make sure you have a working TeX distribution, download the sample LaTeX source file, and prepare another arbitrary PDF file 1. Compile the source with `pdflatex error.tex`, and you will get an intentional error 2. Press Enter, so the compilation process will go ahead 3. Open the generated "error.pdf" file with Okular 4. Compile the source again; do not press enter this time, so the compilation process will get stuck 5. Now the "error.pdf" file is in an auto-reload state 6. Open the new PDF file with Okular OBSERVED RESULT The new file replaces "error.pdf" EXPECTED RESULT The new file should be opened in a new window SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.13.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION You can use other techniques to create a long-standing auto-reload state instead of compiling a LaTeX source.
