Suppose you try opening /tmp/np658.pdf in Okular, but /tmp/np658.pdf DOESN'T
exist. Then Okular will say the file cannot be found. At that point Okular
should prompt for the new, existing path and/or filename—say,
/new/path/of/doc/newname.pdf. Then Okular would rename
docdata/123861.np658.pdf.xml to docdata/123861.newname.pdf.xml if the filename
changed and update docdata/123861.newname.pdf.xml and documentInfo with the new
path, /new/path/of/doc/newname.pdf.

Okular needn't do any automatic checking of whether /tmp/np658.pdf exists.

Now, suppose /tmp/np658.pdf DOES exist, and that its previous path and/or
filename was different—say, /old/path/of/doc/oldname.pdf. Okular needn't search
for docdata/123861.oldname.pdf.xml and the entry in bookmarks.xml and update
them to /tmp/np658.pdf, unless you want to implement this, too; but I don't
think that'd be necessary.
