Bug ID: 361487
Summary: Stream Files instead of creating local copy
Product: okular
Version: 0.24.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: richard.l...@gmail.com
I have pdf's on a local NAS which I access via smb (or ftp - behavior is the
same) with dolphin.
When I click on a pdf, first of all copy dialog appears and then okular opens
the local copy.
This has several disadvantages:
- Unnecessary slow (one has to wait for the copy of the whole file, instead of
an instant open)
- It is not possible to see changes on the pdf file by reloading (F5)
- Unnecessary local disk usage / fragmentation, etc
- Unnecessary UI clutter/popups/notification (Copy dialog, examination
finished, etc.)
So I propose that okular should "stream" the file from the NAS server, instead
of creating a local copy.
This is the open command for pdfs in my file type properties:
"okular %U %i -caption %c"
