--- Comment #173 from Till Schäfer <till2.schaefer at uni-dortmund.de> ---
i tried out the feature today and i like to thank you for making this change
happen! technicaliy it works flawless for me. 

I would like to criticise the gui experience of this feature. It is totaly
unintuitive that you have to do "save as" for storing annotations. i could
understand that the file should not be modified without an extra save action,
but why isnt there a simple save option? An example: when i like to add a
comment to a new pdf i have to click "save as", than "save" (in the file
selction dialog) and confirm the override waning. some time later i try to
modify something. That leads to the question if i like to store the
annotations. Again there is no "save", but only "save as". At this point it is
getting totally unintuitive. I have never seen such a dialog before whith only
save as and no simple save as confirmation. So it aks me if i like to save the
annotations, i select "save as", than "save" in the file selection dialog,
again confirm the overwriting of the file. This is unnescesary confusing.
simply introduce save and everything will be much more consistent. This makes
me feel like always working with write protected files. The many hints in the
form of dialogs that appear to explain the behaviour to the user, are a symptom
of not consistent workflow. would be nice to see this corrected. Then this
feature is awsome and very usable. 

i dont know if this is the right place for crtisism, shoul i place it in a new
bug or in bug #301774?
