This isn't a common action but it shoud not happen, also if it makes no sense to do so. 408469 1 aacid 2006-01-24 00:00:01 +0000 Sorry for destroying your data :-( I have no time for fixing that right now, but will try as soon as possible (probably can find some time tomorrow). 408474 2 aacid 2006-01-24 00:17:29 +0000 Well, lost 15 minutes of sleep and fixed it the easy way, you are not allowed to save a document over itself as anyway it has no sense to do that. http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics/kpdf/part.cpp?rev=501814&r1=499855&r2=501814 408773 3 pfeifle 2006-01-25 01:02:33 +0000 <i>"you are not allowed to save a document over itself as anyway it has no sense to do that."</i> I agree. :) Do I really? Well, at least it is better to block this action instead of letting it lead to data loss. But what if I want to use a future version of oKular or kpdf which add annotation support? It should be allowed to use "Save as..." then, no? (Even if standard "Save" would still be used in 99% of cases, and if the standard "Save" should probably warn the user "This PDF has been modified by you. You'll loose the original version if you use continue to save and stick to the same file name.")
