From your description, it sounds like it has nothing to do with KDE3 but with the fact that okular was migrated to "KDE Framework 5" as you describe and thus "stripped" of features? At least, this is what I understand from your original e-mail.

I think you can still update, but every time you might have to downgrade okular, unless you convince the developers to add back the features that you miss. Best, Gianluca On Mon, 9 Jan 2017, Mark Goldstein wrote:

Could you simply install build 16.08.0 from 42.2?

Thank you for suggestion. I thought about it and even downloaded the RPMs for all distributions I'm using (13.1, 42.1 and 42.2) already, will try later today. But this means I can't update it any further. I'm trying to understand what is actually used and whether it is possible to get the functionality back.

Otherwise it could be a warning that some other applications may not work properly under KDE3. It should not be like that, I believe.

Once you have a version of anything that works installed, as root do zypper al <packagename> and updating will leave it and its dependencies as installed when the lock is set. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

But the question stays: what is wrong with advanced version? One day they'll update 42.2 as well.

OK, I've got explanation from Wolfgang Bauer on factory list. QT5 uses its oun file dialog trying to adjust it to desktop. To cause it using KDE file dialog, the plasma5-integration-plugin should be installed and since I did not install plasma5 pattern, the plugin was not installed. After installing it.

Sure, thanks. Now I've got "back" to new version and it works OK. Not a bad idea to have Qt5 adapting itself to the desktop. Probably before I installed plugin, it tried to use some gnome/xfce file dialog.
