            Bug ID: 388511
           Summary: "Do you want to allow [presentation mode]?" is
                    inaccurate and misleading.
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.26.1
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jbn at forestfield.org
  Target Milestone: ---

When opening a PDF that indicates it should be opened in presentation mode, I
am asked "The document requested to be launched in presentation mode. Do you
want to allow it?". The button choices read "Do Not Allow" and "Allow".

I think this is a poorly worded question and I think the question and button
text should be changed to reflect what is really being asked.

I'm not really being asked to *allow* presentation mode. If I select "Do Not
Allow", I can still choose to enter presentation mode later. I'm being asked if
I want to immediately switch into presentation mode. Thus the question Okular
presents is inaccurate and misleading.

I think the question text should read: The document requested to be shown to
you in presentation mode. Do you want to switch to presentation mode now?" With
the button text for no saying "No" or "No, stay in this mode". The button for
yes should read "Yes" or "Yes, enter presentation mode now".
