Description madsmh 2011-11-15 00:21:23 UTC 
Version:           0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                MS Windows

Okular seems to lock file that is loaded, making it impossible for other programs to write to the file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open PDF file produced by latexing document.tex. then run latex on the same .tex file again, and latex will complain about not being able to write to the file.

Actual Results:  
the new version of the PDF file was not written and thus not loaded into Okular.

Expected Results:  
The PDF should have been written and the opdated document loaded into Okular.

Windows should be a smarter OS, personally i'm not going to workaround windows limitations myself, obviously i'll review a patch that fixes this issue if anyone fancies like writing it.
