           Summary: New Wish : qdbus-based reload document feature
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: listes.rusconi at laposte.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Hello, as a heavy user of LaTeX, I like to edit my document in a text  editor
and use a Makefile-base approach to .tex files' compilation and display as
pdf-rendered files. 

I like the way I work with xpdf right now. By launching an xpdf process with
the -remote "title" option, I can then access that specific process by "title"
(see example below). When I compile my LaTeX sources into a pdf file, I can
instruct the running xpdf process (which I identify with a title string) to
reload the newly generated pdf file **only when the compilation successfully
finished**.

To start xpdf:
==============

xpdf -remote "myfile-server" myfile.pdf &

To elicit a file reload:
========================

xpdf -remote "myfile-server" -reload


Would it be possible to setup such kind of system for okular which I'm eager to
put into work in my workflow ?

Also, would it be possible to have the F5 (File->reload menu) feature callable
from qdbus. I tried, but found that /okular/okular__Shell/actions/* does not
contain the reload action. 

Thanks for listening.

Filippo
