Bug Description
I used Evince to annotate a ~70 page PDF. Over a few hours I added a handful of annotations to each page. After every 5th page or so I would "Save a Copy" in a new file name (same filename on every save). When I finished editing the document I saved and noticed that the modified time was not updating on the file. When opening the copy, no annotations were present. I tried saving as different file names and the same thing occurred. Then, stupidly, I opened the original file and it closed the file I had open with the hundreds of annotations and now no files have the annotations. My computer is currently at this state. I would really like to be able to recover the annotations if they happen to be in a cache file somewhere. Secondly, this seems to be a bug.
This was using Evince 3.24.0 on Ubuntu 17.10.
