            Bug ID: 344599
           Summary: Thumbnails sidebar always open when okular starts
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.19.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: spamable at cmavrakis.com

Every time Okular starts, one of the items of the Navigation Panel is open
(usually the Thumbnails panel). There is no way to disable this globally, so
that all panels are closed by default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF with Okular
2. Click on the "Thumbnails" icon of the Navigation Panel, to minimize
Thumbnails panel
3. Close Okular
4. Open a PDF with Okular (same or different file as in step 1)

Actual Results:  
The Thumbnails panel is open again.

Expected Results:  
The Thumbnails panel should have stayed closed.

I guess two approaches are possible:
- either save the state of the panels upon exit, so that Okular restores it
when a new PDF is opened
- or provide an option in settings, to set whether one of the panels should be
open upon startup of okular

Related bugs and why this is not a duplicate:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201108 - Probably this IS a duplicate, but
diverse comments have made it into a mess. Comment #14 prompts for the creation
of a new, clean bug report to help devs, which is what I did here. Also, it's
several years old and marked as Resolved.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343089 - Related but this emphasizes on
which of the panels is open on reload. Does not mention panels being completely
hidden

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342094 - Same as above, for the closing
and reopening procedure

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321169 - This is about the default opening
of Contents over Thumbnails.
