Created attachment 73684 [details] Patch which implement this
Thanks for the patch, Andrea. Albert, can you check if the patch from comment #1 is doing the right thing?
Don't know which is the right procedure, so I also opened https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106344/
You don't want to do that, you'll lose annotations etc.
(In reply to comment #4) > You don't want to do that, you'll lose annotations etc. Well, maybe the description should be more verbose then "okular metadata", but I guess is a valid action...I had a very big docdata dir.
Sure, the next user that runs sweeper, lost all his day of work and comes shouting at me saying he is going to kill me, i forward him to you, deal?

For the reference, this has been requested in BUG#244769 too.
Yes, people ask for hot coffee and then sue the company when they get burnt. Happens all the time.
Note the proper way of implementing this cleaning is imho in okular, where you can clear "useless" metadata like last-open page, but you can keep interesting stuff like annotations. If you are interested in implementing that we are a bunch of nice people

I find the metadata files useful, but within the spirit of Sweeper, which according to --help and the handbook, is an app that "Helps clean unwanted traces the user leaves on the system." Seem then that Okular data should be included in Sweeper. Related to that option, perhaps Okular should have an option to prevent saving metadata.
