Description bugzilla 2009-10-26 22:10:11 UTC
Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When exporting an annotated PDF to an Okular document archive, the metadata.xml file will contain locale dependant information. Specifically the coordinates of any annotations will be stored with the locale delimiter.

A document stored with the Danish locale will have the following coordinate format:
<line closed="1" >
      <point x="0,2466307277628032" y="0,5881168177240684" />
      <point x="0,5849056603773585" y="0,5861027190332326" />
      <point x="0,5822102425876011" y="0,6545820745216515" />
      <point x="0,2452830188679245" y="0,6545820745216515" />
</line>
with a comma (,) as the delimiter. If this document is open on a machine with for example an English locale, all annotations are shown in the review sidebar, but not in the actual document. Closing/exporting the document will change all annotations to the form <point x="0.0" y="0.0" /> which will render the document useless on the machine with the original locale.

A search and replace for , to . (comma to dot) in the metadata.xml file will work as a workaround.

setAttribute with doubles is evil as it uses the current locale and we don't want that, use QString::number
