Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When I open an pdf file directly from an evolution attachement I cannot save the file ("save as copy" -> browser for other folders) to a samba share or defined bookmark in nautilus! It is possible to save it to the local harddrive. Why is it that some program's like openoffice you can save to samba shares and others not? Isn't there some kind of gnome api or module which takes care of the saving to a certain location?

There appears to be some problem with gnome vfs handling in Evince. While It is possible to open pdf files located in samba shares that appear on my "places" menu, it is impossible to save pdf files to those very same folders!

The file-open menu shows the network shares as well as bookmarks pointing local or network filesystems, and can open documents from either.

However, the "file-save_a_copy" option does not show the samba network shares, nor bookmarks pointing to folders on samba shares, although it does show local bookmarks.
