Sorry for not being clear enough. Here's what works and what doesn't. Tabs get
used when:
- Using File -> Open
- Using File -> Open Recent
- Marking two documents at the same time in your file-explorer and then hitting
ENTER

However! The most used way of opening documents (at least for me and the people
i know) doesn't use tabs:
1. Double-click file_a.pdf in your file-explorer
2. Ocular opens it
3. Double-click file_b.pdf in your file-explorer
4. Ocular opens file_b.pdf in a second window, instead of using a second tab.

This is what I meant.

> does it work if you open using the terminal i.e. okular filea.pdf and then
> okular fileb.pdf?
I tried, but that command doesn't seem to do anything. I installed the
flatpak/flathub-version of Okular, which might mean i need to use another
command. I don't know what to write instead though, as I am not that
experienced with Linux yet.
I tried "flatpak okular filea.pdf", but it didn't work.
