           Summary: Make it possible to execute external applications
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: tkjacobsen gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When my .pdf file tries to execute an external application I get the following message:

"
The document is trying to
execute an external
application and for your
safety okular does not
allow that.
"

I think that Okular should not deny the execution, but just warn and ask for confirmation. This is important as I cannot embed e.g. movies in my pdf presentations on linux, but need to play them in mplayer.
