[Okular-devel] Some thoughts about the xml storing in the user directory

great!

Ah, yes. (Guess that was a stupid question...) Maybe it can be cleaned
up in kcontrol under "privacy" (unfortunately in *my* KDE3 there are
no such checkboxes for KPdf, and in KDE4 Beta 1 I fail to bring up
kcontrol), but I think, that it would be also nice to have an "option"
in the settings-dialog like konqueror (cache) for quickly deleting the
list.

Ok, sorry, haven't look at kde.bugs.org. I know, that these files are
not temporary files, and that the problems arose by only saving name
and size. I also see that the modification time is not very useful in
that affair. Even if "it should not be kpdf's responsibility to
*automatically* clean them up", I think it should be the
responsibility to give the user an opportunity to delete these files
with different filters. How should these filters be, I don't know. I
only mean that kpdf/okular had the responsibility for deleting these
files, because kpdf creates these files. But this is really not a
major task, rather a very very smal task, and at least for the pdfs
this will be no longer a problem, when they are "packages".
