           Summary: Opening case insensitive links fails
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chrislb at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The problem: Clicking on a hyperlink in a PDF-file will not open the target
file if the case writing (upper/lower) doesn't match and the os makes this
difference. Renaming the target to the name given in the source PDF solves the
issue.

The source: PDF "collections" generated on or for systems without upper/lower
case distinction (Windows, ISO 9660) that don't care for correct casing.

The solution: be generous when opening links. See behaviour of Adobe Acrobat
where this works.

Does that sound reasonable?

A lot of conference CDs will stop working once copied to the hard drive. The
solution now would be to magically derive the proper case and rename all copied
files.
