Description Adriano 2024-05-03 16:59:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
When Okular is already open, it's not possible to open other pdf files from internet explorer.
A warning appears:
"The specified device, path, or file could not be accessed. It is likely that you do not have the necessary permissions."

But, if I drag and drop that file, from internet explorer on the opened okular window, the pdf is loaded and displayed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. double click on a pdf file in internet explorer (or on desktop too) (or use right click contestual menu to use open command)
2. okular is opened and the pdf is displayed
3. as in point 1, try to open another pdf file.

OBSERVED RESULT
4. the warning window is displayed, and okular doesn't load that file.

EXPECTED RESULT
5. a new okular window (or tab??) is opened with the second pdf file

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
