Hi,
this one is about saving the actual annotation (rather then the tool
configuration).

Yes, it does. For quite some time, saving annotations to an external
XML
file (called "docdata") was the only option to persist annotations.
Thanks to a major piece of work in an extra branch
"dont-use-docdata-for-annots-and-forms", we now have a second option
where we can save the annotation into a PDF file as its native PDF
representation.
That's not really correct, automatic saving to docdata was the default
option,
but saving to PDF has been available for years.
Ah ok, sorry for spreading b.s.! Thanks Albert for resolving my
misconception.
Also automatic saving to docdata is now gone, you either save back to
the
original file format or you save to the .okular format, which is the
file +
docdata, but basically you should not be having a any annotations under
.local/share/okular/docdata unless you're using an old version of
Okular.
My bad, I was using the older Ubuntu okular 1.1.3 installation while not
in "development mode", guess that's why I saw annotations in
.local/share/okular/docdata.
Cheers,
Albert
