First I want to say that okular is a great program. That's why I'm using it (currently a patched version) instead of many other PDF viewers like kpdf, xpdf, evince, ...

The development team has done a great job with the review tool! I like it very much.

And now please try to image you got 10 PDF files which you have to work with. And every file has the document title "Title". What are you doing now? Open only one file at a time? Try to edit the title with pdfedit to change to title of every file? I even don't know if that's possible. I haven't found it. So what can we else? I have no idea.

In this case I just wish to see the filename in the caption of the viewer, because a filename is totally easy to change.

And I think that's exactly the reason, why Adobe is not using the title attribute in their viewers, even if they have designed the PDF format and know about this attribute at best. And they decided not to use it in the caption and most other viewers (xpdf, kpdf, gv (gostview), kgostview, pdfedit) do the same.

If you still want to use the title maybe there would be a way for people like me to force the filename in the caption by editing the settings file of okular.
I don't need to have a GUI to change it. The only thing I don't want is always to checkout, patch and compile the sources when I want to update okular, because I'm using Ubuntu/Debian, not Gentoo :)
