            Bug ID: 462171
           Summary: loop over PDFs in same directory
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: fernando.hueso at uv.es
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Unlike other PDF viewers like Sumatra PDF reader, Okular lacks the ability of
quickly shifting with a keyboard shortcut to the next PDF available within the
same directory than the opened one. It would be really nice if this capability
could be added.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder with very similar PDF files, one called a.pdf and the other
called b.pdf
2. Open a.pdf in Okular
3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+Left and CTRL+SHIFT+Right repeatedly to quickly browse
between them

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens 

EXPECTED RESULT
It would be a nice enhancement if Okular would close the current one and open
the next one automatically, for facilitating the comparison between them.
