[Okular-devel] Hash instead of file location

[E. M. Recio]

I see what you mean. I rarely open the PDF from the application itself. 
I usually open it by double clicking. If it would calc the md5sum of the 
file while opening it, then it would know that it's already seen the 
file and apply the appropriate attributes/tagging from its corresponding 
XML file. The only down side to this is that it would probably balk at 
large files and take forever to open it.

Also, unrelated note, where can I download plugins (i.e.: to open 
OpenOffice files, etc.) Is there a developer guide to writing plugins in 
case that one doesn't exist?
