Running instance of Evince keeps using the old location of a document when it was already copied elsewhere

[Onderstekop]

Binary package hint: evince

I love Evince, but this has bit me several times:

  * directly open a .ps.tar or similar from Firefox, which starts the archive manager
  * open the .ps in the archive, which starts Evince
  * read a couple of pages from the document and click "Save a Copy" in the file menu.
  * do something else
  * close the archive manager
  * procrastinate some more
  * come back to Evince, which suddenly can't load any more pages that weren't already seen although I had already saved a copy, because the archive manager removed the document in /tmp and Evince is still using that location.

I see how this wouldn't happen to me if I never closed the archive manager or if I properly saved the archive, unpacked and then later moved the document to my paper stash and deleted the archive.. but wouldn't it be nicer to start reading pages from a copy, when it has explicitly been saved?
