Windows 10 Okular can't open files in new tabs

I’ll be brief.
Windows 10
Okular latest version

If i open files from the okular window i opens all of them in tabs.
If I open files by double clicking on it in the file system, it opens a new window and not in an existing window.
I have the “open new files in tab” in setting checked so it isn’t that. I have also tried adding --unique to my shortcut that I have referenced when opening files but it doesn’t work. For testing purposes -p 10 doesn’t open page 10.
When I see the programs connected to the file extensions i see the okular.exe from the Okular/bin folder but I can’t add paramaters to it.

Did somebody have the same problem or am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thank you all for helping :slight_smile:

Unfortunately this is a bug: 427953 – Unique instance and open in tabs ignored. IIRC you can work around the issue by dragging & dropping files into the main window but yeah it’s quite annoying to have to remember that.

@jackh recently found okular for windows and I love it but this is the only bug that is annoying me. since the bug exists for about 4 years as of now - is there any chance this ever gets fixed? I would do it myself but I have no developer skills :frowning:

Still have this Issue. I’ve just found about Okular and love it too and this only bug keeps annoying me.

Hi,

I’ve been using Okular for a few weeks, I like the application but I also noticed this bug which is annoying.

Thanks for the app by the way :slight_smile:
