Description jvromans 2016-10-17 12:42:47 UTC 
Created attachment 337846 [details]
Open in Evince and click on the MuseScore icon (top left, right icon)

Given a PDF document that has a FileAttachment annotation pointing to an embedded file "foo.mscz". 
When the annotation is activated, the file is extracted to disk and passed to the appropriate application, in this case MuseScore.
However, the file is extracted with a name like, for example "foo.mscz.WB9FPY". This causes the MuseScore program to not recognize the file.

Suggested solution: make the filename unique, and then append the extension again. In the above example the new filename would become "foo.WB9FPY.mscz".

Better still: create an unique directory and keep the name as it is: "WB9FPY/foo.mscz".

Thanks.
