I installed the latest snap Okular 22.08.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 (x11, gnome).
I encountered two problems:
- I am tying to open a .pdf attachment from thunderbird with Okular (snap). Following this guide, I created a tmp folder in my home (location accessible by Okular) and mounted the /tmp folder there:
mkdir /home/you/tmp sudo mount --bind /tmp /home/you/tmp/.
When double-clicking on the attachment, a read-only file is correctly
created in /tmp/pid-xxxxx/attachment.pdf, Okular the default
application opens, but I get an error message: Could not open file:///tmp/pid-xxxxx/attachment.pdf. Nevertheless, going to the
folder /tmp/pid-xxxxx/, I am able to open the created file by simply
double-clicking on it. Is it a snap connections problem?
- Although I set the "open in tabs" option and restarted the app, upon clicking on .pdf files, they will be opened into different instances instead of in tabs. EDIT: I have just noticed that if a pdf is opened via
right click -> open with another application -> Okular, instead of simply double-clicking, the file is actually opened in a tab of the already opened Okular. How is it possible to code this as default behaviour?
I would appreciate any help. Thank you!
EDIT: requested connections output.
$ snap connections okular
