Bug Description
I open a pdf document from springerlink. It has the name "0012132432" (no pdf
extension). If I try and "Save a copy" of the file with the exact same name
into my $HOME folder, there is no problem, the file is saved with that name. If
I try and "Save a copy" of the file with the exact same name into my
/media/Disk directory (i.e. where /dev/sda6 was mounted) or some other disk
apart from the mountpoint of $HOME, it doesn't save it, UNLESS I rename the
file and place the .pdf extension like this: "0012132432.pdf". Then it saves it
without any problem. I had this issue with Evince 3.6.1, now in Evince 3.7.1
the annoying bug persists. Please note that there is no permission problem: I
can easily transfer files from $HOME to /media/Disk and vice versa, without any
requirement for root password. It's clearly a bug in Evince, please fix it, it
actually scared the guys on the #linux IRC channel, irc.freenode.org, due to
its dumbness.
I have tried deactivating apparmor...it was of no avail, the error still shows up.
I also reported this bug here: https:/
