Hey all okular developers, please let me first introduce my self, since i am new to the list.
My name is Andreas and I am from Germany. I do have several years experience in (scientific) Softwaredevelopment with C++. Since I use the KDE desktop quite regularly, I thought, I could also give something back to the community. So, I was looking for some task, I am interested in and which also serves as a starting point to learn the code base. Thus I selected the bug263732 <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263732> During studying the code and trying to fix it, I asked myself some question on the code and workflow: 1. The commandline is parsed by the commandline parser from Qt. But the arguments are passed around using a string. Everytime a function needs to check for an argument, it deserializes the string to retrieve the value. That workflow has the advantage, that it requires only a QString to pass the data to other functions. I prefer to have a data structure, which contains the arguments as fields. Is there any other disadvantage in using a struct instead of a string? 2. Several tests fail. Is that intended, or forgotten? I did not yet dig deeper into the codebase to understand, what the tests do. Greetings, Andreas
