            Bug ID: 387779
           Summary: Allow reload to open previously opened file
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: hohenegger at web.de
  Target Milestone: ---

If okular does not find a file when started with a command line argument, it
displays an error message to indicate the error (which is completely fine).
Clicking "Ok" closes this message and leaves an open, empty okular window.

This error may happen because of a temporary unavailable resource (e.g. if the
directory that contains the file is not mounted).
When restarting kde/plasma with several open okular session this can be quite
annoying, since it produces many open, but empty, okular windows and the error
messages. 
To open the files again, one needs to browse to each of the files location. 

Therefore, it would be great if pressing "F5" on such a window (okular session
that failed to open the provided file) would try to load the file again from
the same resource.

Some other kde applications (e.g. kate) show this behavior.
