Description Larry Bradley 2021-04-10 14:52:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
After heavily bookmarking a pdf, moved the file to another folder, then opened the file to discover that the bookmarks were all wiped away.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Bookmark pdf.
2. Save pdf.
3. Move pdf to another folder.

OBSERVED RESULT
Bookmarks disappeared after moving pdf to another folder. Replicable, with the same result each time a bookmarked pdf is moved from one folder to another.

EXPECTED RESULT
Expect bookmarks to by "sticky." Puzzling that bookmarks disappear simply because you move the pdf file from one folder to another. It this is not an Okular programming issue, my apologies in advance.

My apologies in advance if this is not an Okular programming issue.

It’s not an Okular programming issue. It’s a design issue. :)

Thanks, but what do you mean by "design" issue? Design of the program? Thanks for all the good work you do.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319625#c4 shows an example of how the bookmarks are stored. The bookmark folders relate to a file path, and so they don’t apply anymore if the path does not exist anymore. AFAIK that hasn’t changed since 2013.
