Bug ID: 509405
Summary: Okular does not honor Settings-Activity-TrackingFile
option
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
Reporter: o4480ogs4gggkg0oocowcscco448g4c0 at ai.notifier.in
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure that Settings > Activities > Default (only one exist) > Tracking
File and app use is OFF.
2. Start Okular
3. Open some PDF
OBSERVED RESULT
Okular clearly remember PDFs and its opened state. I read tons of PDF daily and
it creates insane amount of history!!
EXPECTED RESULT
- When KDESettings clearly say no tracking, those history should be OFF.
- Gwenview, your image viewer, has an option to disable history. Why not do
same thing?
- As a workaround, I purged and set ".config/okularrc" file to read only so
that it cannot write any more history. But alas! Your app whine with this
message "not writable. Please contact your system admin"
