This is going to be a long read so please take tea/coffee when you are reading it. I have used all the files from the wild to test whatever has been asked of me.
additional info. as I have been asked : Q1. Are you using okular inside a kde session or not? A1. I am running Okular under GNOME 3 fallback session. Q2. Does running `kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental` help? A2. $ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(31549) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Actions in "ServiceMenus/mediainfo-gui.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). ....... These sort of XDG standard complaints are there quite a bit but they are outside the issue I'm experiencing. Q3. Does opening files of type CHM, DjVu, or TIFF work? A3. Ok now this is a biggie. it took an insane amount of memory and processing power to read the epub finally. I had to take down the browser to be able to view it.

The .djvu was considerably faster, almost instantly although the output on the CLI is same/similar to the one of the .chm. okular(1876)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: okular(1876)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: okular(1876)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: okular(1876)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: okular(1876)/kdeui (kdelibs) KXMLGUIClient::~KXMLGUIClient: 0x918e38 deleted without having been removed from the factory first. This will leak standalone popupmenus and could lead to crashes. I was not able to find any .tiff files in the wild in order to test them although still trying. So basically it works but guess it worked after doing 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental' which I looked at by doing 'kbuildsycoca4 --help' and figured it says :- --noincremental Disable incremental update, re-read everything Looking forward to any more comments. So basically it works but takes lot of effort to read, have no idea why its like that though. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
