            Bug ID: 402925
           Summary: Bad behaviour when opening temporary files, e.g. from
                    KMail or Firefox, and editing
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mail at svenbrauch.de
  Target Milestone: ---

Oftentimes, one opens a file from an email attachment or a web browser to
review it (e.g. add some notes). When then trying to save the result, this
often doesn't work, because the original file is gone. This is super annoying,
since all annotations are effectively lost and cannot be saved.

There is no real reason for this behaviour, since Okular still has a valid file
descriptor for the original file, and could just use that. It can still display
the file as well, after all.

To reproduce, open a file from a KMail attachment, edit it for a while, and
then try to save your work.
