Bug ID: 394917 Summary: Confusing message about ‘internal storage’ Product: okular Version: 1.3.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: PDF backend Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org Reporter: k...@equaeghe.nospammail.net Target Milestone: --- I opened a pdf file with a form that I had filled with an earlier version of okular and got the message "This document contains annotations or form data that were saved internally by a previous Okular version. Internal storage is no longer supported. Please save to a file in order to move them if you want to continue to edit the document." It is not clear at all what is meant by ‘internal storage’. I first thought it was ‘internal to the pdf’. It is only after searching on-line that it referred to ‘internal to okular configuration files’ *external* to the file. (I didn't even know okular did that. It explains a lot of trouble I had with filling in forms with okular and not being able to get rid of ‘zombie data’.) The current message is totally confusing and should be replaced with something that is not confusing and also indicates where the data is stored ‘internally’. I suggest something like the following: "For this document, annotations or form data were saved by a previous Okular version to the local file "/home/user/.local/share/okular/file.pdf.xml". This type of storage is no longer supported. Please save to a file in order to preserve the annotations and form data; these will be saved inside the pdf file itself." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
