Upgrade StorageHow to select Okular flatpak app as a default pdf reader in Zotero
Hello,
I am struggling with the "Open PDF with" option in Zotero settings.
I would like Zotero to open PDF files in Okular, which is not shown in the list. As Okular is my PD F default app on Ubuntu, I tried :
1. Selecting the "default" option : when I open a PDF file within Zotero, it promps me to choose between a list of installed PDF reader (so it doesn't use the default app).
2. Selecting the "custom" option" : it promps me to choose an app, but I have no idea where is Okular located (I tried the "locate Okular" terminal command but the answered path is in "/var/lib/", which I cannot browse through the Zotero dialog window).
Using Zotero 6.0.9 (flatpak) and Okular 22.04.3 (flatpak) on Ubuntu 22.04 with GNOME desktop.
Thank you !

dstillmanYou’re using a third-party package that uses sandboxing. We can only help with the official tarball from this site (or the lightweight zotero-deb wrapper of it), which doesn’t use sandboxing.
