Description Antonio Rojas 2014-03-08 10:29:29 UTC
The "open documents in new tabs" setting doesn't have any effect, new documents are still opened in new windows

Using KDE 4.13 beta 1

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jonathan Doman 2014-03-09 21:06:14 UTC
Can you clarify the actions you are taking to reproduce and what is the expected behavior? New tabs will only be created for documents opened through okular's file open dialog. Documents opened through an external file browser or command line will open a new window. If this isn't the behavior you want/expect, you should resubmit this as a feature request and I can make a patch.
Comment 2 Antonio Rojas 2014-03-09 21:27:39 UTC
OK changed to wishlist then... I expected this to work for files open from the file browser (after all, that is how okular is usually opened)
Comment 3 Jonathan Doman 2014-03-09 22:54:48 UTC
Okay, I'm not an official developer but I'll try to implement this and get it reviewed. How would you expect this to behave when there are multiple okular windows already opened? Should it open a new tab in the first window, or any window, or a window determined by some other metric? (I have my own opinion but would like more inputs.)
Comment 4 Antonio Rojas 2014-03-10 07:38:19 UTC
If this is implemented I don't plan to have more than one okular window open ever, so I don't really mind. What do browsers usually do?
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2014-03-10 19:41:00 UTC
The fact that you don't plan any more than one okular ever open doesn't mean that it can't happen, so it's something that needs to be taken into account ;-)
