    Forward search in Kile broken (PDF)

    Hi,
    since recently forward search in Kile (with Okular) does not work anymore. Inverse search still works.
    The error is:
    [ForwardPDF] Launching failed, diagnostics:
    [ForwardPDF] Shell meta characters that cannot be handled are present in the options to the tool.
    The calling command for Okular is
    Code:
     okular --unique '%target'
    The problem seems to be in the '%target' part; I suppose that is where kile tells okular where to go.
    When I call okular from the command line with something like this
    Code:
    okular --unique 'file.pdf#src:99 file.tex
    it jumps to line 99 from the source file, as it should, so the problem is not caused by okular, but by some weird command from kile.
    Unfortunately I was not able to find any documentation for these macros like %target.

    I'm running 11.04 64 bit with backports; KDE 4.7.2 and Kile 2.1.0.

    Any help would be highly appreciated - this is very annoying!

Working...
