            Bug ID: 420139
           Summary: "Save copy as"
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.9.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: zephen at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Okular used to have a "Save copy as" option (e.g. in Kubuntu 2016.4 LTS).

It is MIA now.  I see some bugs referencing this (e.g #348644), but did not
find an explicit bug describing its removal.

UTILITY

I used this all the time.  Because web browser rendering of PDFs is still
somewhat janky, I always set up firefox to use okular to open all PDFs.  Then I
want to save them.  Unfortunately, the "Save as" dialog always defaults to the
mozilla temp directory (where the original file is).  The "Save copy as" dialog
used to default to the last directory where you actually saved a copy, so when
you are saving multiple PDFs to a directory, it was much more functional to do
it this way.

BOTTOM LINE

This is a removal of a very useful feature, so it feels very much like a
regression.

Thanks!
