            Bug ID: 416058
           Summary: Permission denied saving into "bin" folder
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.7.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: j.eugster at sms.ed.ac.uk
  Target Milestone: ---

Ocular cannot save PDF's inside a folder that's called "bin" which lies in the
home directory. Does not apply to folders with that name somewhere else in the
system tree.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd ~
2. mkdir ./bin
3. Open any PDF, edit it and save it to "~/bin" or any subfolder thereof

Error message:
File could not be saved in 'file:///home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf'. Error: 'Access
denied.
Could not write to /home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf.part.'. Try to save it to
another location.


EXPECTED RESULT
This restriction seems to be put in artificially and should not be there. (Or
at most there should be a warning, "Cautious bin-folders are important")


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux (x86_64) release 5.0.0-37-generic
