Opening several PDFs opens Windows. This clutters the same taskbar and also is some sort of a UI difference from other KDE apps that open Tabs. Tab support would really be great in Okular, for efficiency. First maybe starting with a setting opt-in? benefits: - less cluttered application bar - grouped PDFs, opening mutiple ones uses Tabs, but opening single ones would use a window? - easy switching without needing the "grouped windows" mode in the panel drawbacks: - space - maybe inconsistent behavior what to group and what not
Okular does already have opt-in tab support. You have to enable it in the Settings window. IIRC enabling it by default is blocked by making tabs detachable somehow; see Bug 339971.
thanks, its great!
Also tabs don't work very well on Windows, but that bug is already filed.
