            Bug ID: 502482
           Summary: D-Bus Methods in Okular Do Not Work Correctly for
                    Specific Tabs
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: 24.05.2
          Platform: Ubuntu
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: matthiasschmitz1993 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When multiple pdfs are open in different tabs within the same Okular instance,
D-Bus methods like currentPage, currentDocument, and goToPage do not behave as
expected. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Okluar go to "Settings" -> "Configure Okular..." -> "General" -> activate
"Open new files in tabs"
2. Open multiple pdfs in tabs of the same Okular instance
3.  Run "qdbus org.kde.okular-{PROCESS ID} /okular org.kde.okular.currentPage"

OBSERVED RESULT
The method (currentPage) always returns a result for the initially opened
document and not the currently activate tab. The same issue occurs with other
methods (e.g., currentDocument, slotPreviousPage, slotNextPage, etc...).

If the tab of the initially opened document is closed, but the okular instance
is still open with another document, then qdbus returns an error.

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect the methods to work for the currently active tab by default. I
would also expect an option to use the methods on multiple different tabs, even
when not active.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
