I am a long time okular used on various linux/bsd flavours but am new to osx so bear with me

I installed all via the instructions and install script found at https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde yesterday. The programme generally works, although of course some of the keys conflict with some of the mac/amethyst keybindings, but that's not a large issue.

The only thing that doesn't work, is the opening of files via the commandline or system dialog(s). For example. If I open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

open -a okular file.pdf

It does either open the programme, or go to an existing programme window, but it does not open the file. The same behaviour occurs when I open a file via Finder or via a programme such as zotero.

Based on this, I suspect that okular is not receiving the filename from the os correctly somehow. I do not get an error, and nothing is shown in any obvious /var/log logfile. I have not built from source to I am not sure where to look for errors or where to log the behaviour, so have no clue as to what the actual problem might be. Any hints would be appreciated.

It's most likely because ocular doesn't implement the fileOpen event, which is specific to macOS. I checked their code and don't see it.
