How to configure Oklular to show a document’s file name in its titlebar instead of the document’s “title property”

By default, the version of Okular available to CentOS 6 does not show the viewed document’s filename in the Okular window titlebar, but rather the value of the “Document Title” property embedded in the document being viewed. This is bad news because the Document Title property is usually set to the name of the app that created the document, making it difficult to tell multiple documents generated by the same app apart.

You can force Okular to set it’s window titlebar value to the name of the file being viewed by editing the file ~/.kde/share/config/okularpartrc and appending this line to the ‘[General]’ section:

DisplayDocumentTitle=false

When you finish, the file will end up looking like this:


[General]
UseKTTSD=false
DisplayDocumentTitle=false
