By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Patch to control document viewing metadata (Updated to provide naming consistency)

Description Darrell 2012-09-17 14:23:31 CDT
There is no mechanism to disable storing metadata.

Although not resolving this bug report, a patch is available in bug report 1216 to delete the metadata files from within kcontrol->privacy.

Patch to control document viewing metadata

Attached is a patch to control the document viewing metadata files.

The new control is in Settings->General, Retain document viewing data.

When enabled kpdf stores document viewing metadata just as before. When disabled no xml files are created or stored in $TDEHOME/share/apps/kpdf.

The patch works in R14 GIT, but somebody else needs to test before pushing to GIT.
