<pre wrap="">I am using Okular 0.14.0 on Windows XP SP3 via KDE for Windows 4.8.0 and
Okular 0.13.2 on OpenSuse 12.1.
I see that I can create a document archive that can be transferred from
one
system to another, but when I try to annotate the loaded ocular archive
(zip) file, it succeeds but does not save it (not really a surprise,
since
it is a zip file). I also see the XML files in the archive---metadata.xml
and content.xml---where metadata.xml appears to be the very similar to
the
annotation files stored under Windows at:
A) C:\Documents and Settings\<yourLoggedInUserProfile>\Application
Data\.kde\share\apps\okular\docdata\<someKeyUID>.<yourfile>.pdf.xml
and under Linux at
B)
<yourHomeDirectory>/.kde4/share/apps/ocular/docdata/<someKeyUID>.<yourFil
e>
.pdf.xml
with very small differences described below and the content.xml file just
ties the pdf and metadata.xml files together in the archive.
Based on this it doesn't look like a raw document archive is the ticket.
I
imagine that I could continue to have the pdf file on both systems and
then
transfer the annotation files between A) and B) above if I understood the
significance of the keyUID filename prefix (my guess is that it is just a
UID (possibly a hash of the file path), so that the same pdf file in
different locations of the same file system don't collide when they are
both independently annotated), but is there an easier way?
The difference in the metadata.xml file in the archive appears to be
almost
identical to the files A) and B) except that the documentInfo URL
attribute
has been stripped along with a small number of other seemingly low
importance variations. For example:
diff metadata.xml 13227877.some.pdf.xml
3c3

<pre wrap="">Would it be as "simple" as creating an application import menu item that
unpacks the archive, places the pdf at the location of the archive, adds
the URL attribute to the documentInfo element and deals with the other
small variations (in this case what appears to be storage of the
navigation
history and the current page view type and zoom factor) and then moves
the
metadata.xml file into the path for A) or B) along with a file rename?
