Description Stephen2252 2021-05-08 13:30:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I want to open many files sharing the same window but different tabs, I have to drag the second/third .. files to the window of first file. If I simply open two files by clicking, it will open two windows rather than two tabs.

For the software, I extract the package from microsoft store's .appx package. So, it is the stable version rather than the experimental nightly builds.

Very old version. Can you try the nightly build and see if it still happens there? Thanks!

I tried the nighty version before. If it is as I remembered, the same error
occurred.

Do not do that, if it's another issue, you open another issue, don't comment in one that has *nothing* to do with it.
Comment 8 Dominik Kummer 2021-11-03 11:19:41 UTC 
In Okular settings I activated this program feature option. Trying to open several documents from within dolphin launches new instances though. I tried to add the option --unique to okular command in Fila Associations settings, but it does not help. And thats horrible, because I want to access okular with shortcut Meta+O which now does only focus the first instance. The feature did work in the past for sure, but right now I cannot recall when it stopped working.
Comment 9 Laura David Hurka 2021-11-03 13:33:30 UTC 
Thanks for your bug report! But please open a new ticket instead of modifying a different one.

In this case, please also describe how you installed Okular.
Comment 10 Dominik Kummer 2021-11-03 16:50:14 UTC 
but I am afraid it is the same bug I described in new title plus additional comment. exactly the same symptoms. I just simplified the title from my conclusion.

installed via archlinux package manager.
Comment 11 Dominik Kummer 2022-01-21 23:04:28 UTC 
Okular seems to open files by activity. If I have dolphin 1 on activity 1 and dolphin 2 on activity 2, and I click documents to open from within each, then okular will open in separate windows. All files clicked in dolphin 1 will go into another tab in a single okular instance.
