The locked file issue is not a problem on Linux. I keep Okular open all
the time with the map I am working on. Therion compiles the map and
about 10 seconds later Okular automatically reopens it. Okular also
reopens the map at the previous pan and zoom settings.
I looked through the Okular settings but found nothing that relates to
file locking. There might be some Linux magic going on related to dBus
passing messages about file system changes.

From my very limited trial of one document…
It feels a bit like SumatraPDF, just with a better interface and more
capabilities.
The rendering times are occasionally fast, but usually about as slow as
SumatraPDF, with occasional very long white-out periods on zoom and
always poor fill rendering quality. For use with Therion, if a viewer
is a bit slow or poor at rendering that does not worry me much.
My main reason for choosing a PDF viewer for use with Therion is that it
allows Therion to update the pdf file while the viewer has it open.
SumatraPDF achieves this on all but the largest of files I have Therion
create.
Okular fails in this respect with a modest file, with this error –
indicates an application has the output file locked.
/C:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error -- filesystem error: cannot
remove: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process [Output/LaghuElevEXT.pdf]/
/writing xtherion file ... done/
Okular has quite a few settings, so it is possible that changing some of
those will remove this limitation.
Anyone with insights on this?
