            Bug ID: 315538
           Summary: okular --unique *does* raise its existing window
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.16.60
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: thomas at t-8ch.de

When controlling an existing instance of okular with okular --remote the
exising instance will become the focused window. This has been requested in
bugreport 304526.
As there are usecases for both behaviours a config option or a commandline
switch to okular --unique would be nice to have.

Usecase:
When using okular as previewer for synctex and forward search is triggered via
an editor shortcut, okular claims focus which is taken from the editor.

Thanks in advance!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start okular with "okular --unique"
2. Call "okular --unique <some_file>.pdf" from a terminal
Actual Results:  
The okular window gains focus.

Expected Results:  
The terminal from which the second call was made keeps its focus.

Happens on 0.16.0 and 27c37c1fd1b87e
