I mean, you asked it to do that, so I'm not sure why you're suddently surprised that the application did what you said.
Anyhow, you defenitely triggered an unexpected path, sadly folders of images is not something the code accounts for, my suggestion is that one shouldn't be able to annotate when opening folders of images, just when opening individual files.

We have two things going on. First I wanted to quit, and save the changes before I quit. Not necessarily a bug, it's just a bit weird that okular asks to reload the document, when it's going to quit right after it. But my main problem is that I can't load the document it saved at all. I didn't ask okular to create an unopenable file. > Anyhow, you defenitely triggered an unexpected path, sadly folders of images > is not something the code accounts for, my suggestion is that one shouldn't > be able to annotate when opening folders of images, just when opening > individual files. Couldn't it be made to work somehow? I mean, back when okular automatically saved annotations in a separate file into ~/.local/share/okular/docdata, this worked IIRC. Oh yes, sorry, now that I re-read my original bugreport, I noticed that the wall of text is under observed result and the expected result comes logically after steps to reproduce, it's only physically after observed result, but that's not what I exactly had on mind when written the report. So TL;DR, my problem is that it can't load the file it created, everything else is additional information.

SUMMARY After okular's only useful feature was removed a couple of years ago, I finally gathered my courage and tried to save the annotations I made, but okular can't read its own format back. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a directory with a buch of jpg images, make some annotations 2. When exiting, it will ask to save the chages. Click on save. 3. It will conplain that it can't save in the curent format, click on Save as Okular document archive 4. "After saving, the current document format requires the file to be reloaded. Your undo/redo history will be lost. Do you want to continue?" Click on yes. OBSERVED RESULT Okular quits. In the console I see kf.kio.slaves.file: copy() QUrl("file:///tmp/okular.CSKYyV") to QUrl("file:///home/dirty_ice/test") mode= -1 kf.kio.slaves.file: the file doesn't have any xattr org.kde.okular.core: No plugin for mimetype '"application/zip"'. The document hasn't been reloaded/swapped correctly Trying to open the file manually, it says "Can not find a plugin which is able to handle the document being passed." Okay, it didn't include the .okular extension automatically, fix it and try again: "Could not open file:///home/dirty_ice/test.okular." And that's all. The only way I managed to get my annotations back was to open the metadata.xml inside the .okular file, and copy the <pageList> to ~/.local/share/okular/docdata/<some_random_name>.xml, in this case when I open the dir my annotations are back, along with a message that this is deprecated and save to a file if I want to edit the document. Except the Save as button is disabled (both on the message and in the file menu), and it's read only, so I can't create new annotations or modify existing ones either. EXPECTED RESULT It should open the .okular file, hopefully without packing the hundreds of megabytes of images into it.
