            Bug ID: 418679
           Summary: Okular does not show file name if title not available
                    (PDF)
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.8.3
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ostroffjh at users.sourceforge.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Start Okular on a PDF file without a title, and it shows "No Title" on top if
"Display document title in titlebar if available."  If I uncheck that, it does
show the file name or full path depending on the next option.  As I read this,
the "if available" implies there is some option for what to do if the title is
NOT available.  I'm calling this a wishlist because it is not clearly wrong,
but is certainly not helpful.  

So, I wish that if the first option is checked, and the title is not available,
then the file or path be displayed instead, per the following option. 

If this will not be done, then consider changing the wording of the option to
"Display document title in titlebar" (drop the "if available") as it is just
misleading - you can't possibly display the title if it is NOT available.

As an alternate for this last request - consider merging the two options to a
single one with three possibilities: 1) display the document title, 2) display
the file name, 3) display the full path.  This should avoid any expectation of
seeing a file name if there is no titile available.

As a further wishlist, it might be even more helpful to display both the title
and the file name/path.

Some of this was discussed in bug 158401 from over 10 years ago
