[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#746552: kile: Consider not hardcoding Okular as PDF viewer

[D Haley]

Package: kile
Version: 4:2.1.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be great if Kile PDF viewing worked by default on non-KDE installs - particularly as KDE is not the default for testing.  Currently, after install kile, in order to view a PDF generated by kile, one has to modify the PDF tool (settings->Conf. Kile->Tools->Build->ViewPDF->Command), or attempts to view the generated PDF fail with a message in the log area "failed to start". 

Several possible solutions jump to mind
* exo-open
* A KilePDF script to detect and launch available binaries

Either of these would make Kile "work out of the box" as an editor under non-KDE installs!

Thanks!
