okular @4.8.3 - failing to open Document Archive

[jan.deluxe@…]

Hello,

I observed that okular failes to open the "Document Archive" filetype one can create from within the application by selecting "File -> Export As -> Document Archive".

The error message presented by okular is "Could not open /Path/to/file.ext" (where /Path/to/file.ext is an arbitrary filename). The message being displayed in Console.app reads

okular(1263)/okular (app) Okular::Document::openDocument: No plugin for mimetype '"application/zip"'.

This format is used to exchange pdf documents with annotations created by okular between okular users.

However, okular.app is able to produce that filetype following the procedure mentioned above and it opens fine using okular on a linux box.

I think providing the ability to read .okular files would be a great enhancement for users working with pdf annotations on different OS which do not support the Acrobat Reader X.

Maybe introducing a variant would be a feasible solution until popplers pdf annotation support becomes stable?

Thank your for keeping up the excellent work on macports!

OS: Mac OS 10.6.8 / Xcode 3.2.6

[ryandesign@…]

Sounds to me like a bug in okular, which should be reported to and fixed by the developers of okular (not MacPorts maintainers).

[nicos@…]

I rapidly tested the annotation functionality of okular (highlight, notes), and saved it in .okular format. It could then be opened again without any issues with the latest ports, and also OS 10.6.8, XCode 3.2.6.

As I can't reproduce the issue, I am wondering if there is a specific thing which triggers the problem.

@nicos: strange. below you'll find a list of the variants of okulars dependencies and the ontent of my variants.conf. Could you check that for differences with yours? I also attached a file test.okular to verify that the file itself is not broken.

The uploaded file could be opened without any issue, and it indeed had a test annotation.

The only difference I can see in the dependencies is that I have by default the +no_x11 variant set, even though it is supposed to be a legacy one. (+no_foo variants are supposed to be replaced by -foo variants)

[jan.deluxe@…]

Thank you for testing the file and checking your variants. Maybe the +no_x11/-x11 variant is the culprit then. I'm currently rebuilding okular and all of it's dependencies and will report back to you when it's done and hopefully working ;-).

[jan.deluxe@…]

I don't get it. Still no luck. I did a clean install this time of kdegraphics4 in order to pull packages that might trigger the problem if not being installed. The variants are set to +qt4 +quartz -x11. If I build okular with the debug flag

port -d install okular

I get a message claiming that all available plugins are enabled (pdf, djvu, dvi, etc.).

I also executed

/opt/local/bin/kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

deleted my ~/Library/Preferences/KDE directory, tried it with a newly created user account... nothing.

I don't know where to look anymore, any clues?

[nicos@…]

Although it should not be the source of the issue, we never know: the +no_x11 may still influence some ports which did not do the transition yet.

Then, building okular with +debug may provide more information about the issue in the log.

Finally, sometimes launching the application from the terminal with command line may reveal another behaviour.

[jan.deluxe@…]

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll try moving my /opt/local away and start with a fresh install issuing the +debug and +no_x11 variants. I tried launching from command line already but it didn't reveal anything new, but who knows, maybe the debug flag helps ;-). I won't be able to do it until next week. I Will report back to you then.

[jan.deluxe@…]

I finally got it working! Here is what I did:

Building the application with the debug flag and starting it from command line revealed that it was looking for mime information in /opt/local/share/mime. First I had the same behavior as always (e.g. it didn't work). Then I issued the following commands

# make sure to have a clean environment
$ rm -r ~/Library/Preferences/KDE

I got the hint for looking at the update-mime-db command from here ​http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html#s2_layout after googleing for mime types and kde.

I can confirm now that okular works as expected with only the +quartz +qt4 -x11 variants set. Maybe the kde-builds should issue the update-mime-db-command after install?

Special thanks to nicos for staying tuned and providing many useful hints!

Thank you for reporting this, it is nice to know that you could find a solution. While it is nice to know the solution to this issue, I doubt it should be necessary to run update mime db after each kde install. One simple reason is that if it was the case, there should have been far more reports about similar issues, while I have knowledge of no others.
