Description jesse 2014-05-08 06:22:56 UTC 
I came across this complaint about evince, and thought it worthwhile to enter it as a bug report.

The relevant passage is: 

The recent irritating example of this is evince, which wins a special bonus prize for not merely storing the full paths or URLs of many PDFs that you've viewed but also apparently re-accessing them when it converts metadata during some of its version upgrades. Hopefully I do not need to explain why randomly accessing URLs out of the blue is a very bad idea.
