Change procedure :-)
These are bills with a longer name than I want. I open them in the reader, select save as and then save with the name I want. What can be simpler? Worked very well in Adobe Reader. In fact, when I save the file, I click on the previous month's file and just change the name as appropriate. For example, I'd click on the July bill, with the name 2018_07 and then change the last digit to 8 and then save to the name 2018_08.
Putting aside the various other capabilities of Adobe Reader and/or other PDF software, I think this is a lot of fuss about nothing. I use Okular every day for viewing documents via Firefox, opened from Thunderbird or from a local drive. This issue of the default folder location comes up when saving a document in the browser or email client because indeed the directory it has been opened from is probably /tmp. I would suspect you're not using Plasma and so not benefiting from all the components that aid desktop integration. If you are, however, you must have a strange setup changed from the defaults. In a Plasma session, upon saving you should be presented with the standard Plasma file open/save dialog, containing the default system 'Places' down the left-hand side. AFAIK these are pulled from the Places you define within either Dolphin or another KDE app. On any standard install this ought to include your user Home directory at the top of the list. If you're seeing the Places but not a useful directory like Home to navigate to, you can add this by right-clicking in the Places pane and going to 'Add entry'. If you're getting the standard Plasma dialog but not seeing the Places pane, perhaps you've rendered it hidden. And if you're seeing some other dialog, presumably you're not running on Plasma. If I open a PDF or other compatible file from any directory on my system, Okular conforms to norms in using that directory as the default when I go to Save As... gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
