Bug ID: 361740
Summary: Command line option to disable presentation mode and
warning "The document requested to be launched in
presentation mode""
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-***@kde.org
Reporter: stas-***@yandex.ru

When using Okular as previewer in PDFTex workflow, preparing beamer slides,
the following usability hell occured:
* LaTex/Beamer slides should be compiled to PDF with metadata "StartFullScreen"
* But while editing, on every PDF change/and reload, user got a modal popup
"The document requested to be launched in presentation mode." "Do you
want to allow it?"
(See part.cpp)
* This make typical Slide/LaTeX/Beamer editing workflow completely unusable.

I see several options how to handle it.
* Should be commandline options ("--disablefullscreen" or like this), and
Okular launched from Kile with this option should ignore all this
"StartFullScreen" metadata.
* Global preference "Disable Presentation Mode". And if the OS is used to LaTex
editing workflow, the owner possible can swith Okular in Presentation Mode.
* Completelety disable this warning on reload of the changed document.

I'd say the third option is the one that makes more sense, could you edit the
subject to match it?
