Bug ID: 345836
Summary: Annotations in pdf documents should be automatically
saved to a temporary file.
Product: okular
Version: 0.20.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-***@kde.org
Reporter: ssameer+***@gmail.com

If a user is adding annotations to a pdf file and Okular closes without saving
the file, the annotations are permanently lost and cannot be recovered. This
can happen if the user just forgets to save them, or Okular or the desktop or
the OS crashes / freezes. I've lost annotations by simply forgetting to save
them, or when Linux was unable to resume properly from sleep. Adobe reader
automatically saves annotation changes to a temperoary file every X minutes
(usually 5) and can recover unsaved changes the next time the document is
opened. This would be avery useful feature for Okular and can save users a lot
of lost work.

Reproducible: Always

--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Verner <***@gmail.com> ---
Okular (as of version 0.20.2) warns a user about unsaved annotations when
closing the document. This doesn't help with the OS crash / freeze case though.
