Version: 0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.4) OS: MS Windows More often than not, Okular does not refresh when the pdf file is modified, even though this particular option is turned on. This is under windows 7. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I use Kile+Okular. When compiling a latex pdf document and opening it in Okular, it works fine. However, when I modify the document and recompile it, Okular will often not reload the document. Sometimes it does, but more often it doesn't. Which means I have to manually reload it. Actual Results: Okular does not always reload my pdf document when it is recompiled. Expected Results: It should reload my pdf document every time it is compiled. I used to use KDE 4.2.95 and here everything worked flawlessly. I just installed KDE 4.5.4 yesterday and it is only since this upgrade that I am suffering from this problem. So, I think the problem was only introduced recently.
I guess you do not have a linux machine to test if it works there, do you?
I do have access to a linux machine but it's not mine so I can't mess around with it arbitrarily. Currently this machine is running Okular 0.11.1 under KDE 4.5.1 (in Ubuntu 10.10) and everything seems to work flawlessly there. Also, I was asked by a KDE forum moderator to link to this post as well: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=90219&p=184430#p184430
@kde-windows guys: can you please run the kdirwatch test suite on windows?
(In reply to comment #1) > I guess you do not have a linux machine to test if it works there, do you? No problem in Linux. Could be duplicate of bug #260629
(In reply to comment #4) > Could be duplicate of bug #260629 Wow, it seems I missed that one. I totally confirm this: 1) Indeed, the times I tried since I read this, I noticed that it works for the first reload and it doesn't work after that any more. Just as #260629 describes. 2) Indeed, if instead of opening the pdf from Kile (where Kile launches Okular and reads the pdf) I open the pdf manually in Okular, then the bug is gone, it refreshes flawlessly. Just as #260629 describes. 3) Indeed, if I save my .tex file in the C: root (and open Kile with admin permissions, which is needed to write to C: in win7), it refreshes flawlessly. Just as #260629 describes. So indeed, this is a duplicate as #260629. I don't know whether the / vs \ thing makes sense from a technical point of view, but the fact that running from C: root solves the problem, makes this explaining quite plausible. Working in C:/temp already makes the problem appear as described here, so it's not a spaces problem. (In case anyone would wonder: it is not the admin permissions that make C: succesful: I tried on other folders as admin and the bug was the same as usual.)
*** Bug 260629 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm everything written by Peter working exactly the same way for me using the same versions. I just want to add, that right clicking on the .pdf file -> open with -> okular reproduces the bug.
