No Longer any Way to Open Recently Used in a New Tab.

[DiagonalArg]

Control-T pops up the folder to select a file. I don't see any way to create a new (empty) tab and then open a recently used file in there.

I'll add that despite having "Restore Tabs" checked, it lost mine since the last update.

Hello DiagonalArg,

thank you for taking the time to report this. However, there never was the possibility of having an empty tab. Opening a recently-used file will refresh that file if is already open in any tab or open it in a new tab otherwise.

Loosing your tabs sounds like you switched from a version built against Qt4 to a version built against Qt5: Qt5 does seem to use a different place to store application data even though qpdfview's database stayed compatible. You could look into copying your old database from ~/.local/share/data/qpdfview/qpdfview to ~/.local/share/qpdfview/qpdfview.

Best regards,
Adam

Thanks, Adam. Not sure what trouble I was having on first try, but you are right that when I open a recently used file, it does pop into a new tab. As for ~/.local/share/data/qpdfview, it's gone. No matter, by this point I've dug up what I was working on.

Thanks for your work!
