Unable to open files in new tab on Windows

[DStalkerBR]

Hi,
I would like to know how to always open files in a new tab on Windows.
Currently, when I open files through Windows Explorer, they always open in a new window.

I attempted to use the --unique argument, but it had no effect.

Hmm. It looks looks like I have to compile it with DBus support or find another simple solution that works in Windows.

It builds with DBus enabled but it still doesn't work. I will further investigate this but I probably have to make a bug report to the upstream devs. It works well on Linux however.

I managed to make this configuration work by running the dbus-launch.exe binary available at the Qt Project mailing list and adding the --unique argument to the registry entry at HKCU\Software\Classes\Applications\qpdfview\shell\open\command\.

I'm only experiencing an issue with the window failing to auto-focus upon opening the second file, it works only when opening the first file. (A similar issue has been discussed in this thread ) But it may not be specific to the application itself.

_{Also for some reason no terminal command, including qpdfview.exe --help, is producing any text output for me in the Windows terminal}

Next time I will ship the DBus binaries too.

Maybe it's better to show the commands in a window when calling it with qpdfview.exe --help, like many other applications do on Windows.

Indeed.
Currently, I only managed to get the command output is by redirecting it to a file qpdfview.exe --help > file.txt.
