SUMMARY On my system I have a Win7 and I recently downloaded Okular from https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit (presumably build 12). Okular version 1.7.70 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go in okular menu to "Tools->Configure Okular..." 2. Under "General" activate "Open new files in tabs" 3. Close okular or keep it open, it does not matter. Ich checked the ~/AppData/Local/okular/okularpartrc and I find a line with "ShellOpenFileInTabs=true" 4. Open any two PDFs in Windows Explorer OBSERVED RESULT There will be two instances of Okular showing the PDFs in their own window. EXPECTED RESULT One instance of Okular is showing the two PDFs in two tabs. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Win7 macOS: - Linux/KDE Plasma: - (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: - KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Okular_Nightly_win64/12/
same problem in windows 10 and flatpak installed okular in debian 10
Still same problem. Opening another/or same pdf in file explorer opens new instance. Opening through File -> Open... opens in new tab or switches to open file. Okular 20.12.2 Windows 10 Related to this issue on github, though I don't use flatpak: https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.okular/issues/36

This still doesn't work. Why isn't it being fixed? Thanks

Faced the exact same problem with all versions provided by the website namely: Windows store (23.08.1), nightly stable (23.08.04) and nightly experimental (24.01.80) build. I managed to build the newest version from source myself (24.07.70) and with that version the problem was not there. I followed a wiki entry for building KDE connect on Windows using Visual Studio and craft without modifying any settings or source code. (https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect/Build_Windows) I also build it with QT6, whereas the other versions used QT5. However, I don't know what resolved the matter (build settings, newer Okular version, newer QT version,...).

Potentially you built and run dbus which would make it work, but we don't ship dbus with Okular because it's a bit messy. One potential solution is to use https://github.com/KDAB/KDSingleApplication instead of dbus stuff to make the "should i start myself or attach to another app" logic.
