(I hope this is the right repo for pdf specific problems.)

I have a pdf with attachment and want to export it. :export and :export filename does not work (wrong number of arguments) Unfortunately, the man page or --help don't give me any instructions how to use the :export command. The web tells me it need to use :export attachment-{name} {file_name}. but what is the right {name}? There is no function to list all attachments.

And :export attachment-foo42 bar tells me it wrote the attachment 'attachment-foo42' to 'bar', even though there is no attachment with the name 'attachment-foo42' in that PDF file, and there is no new file with the name bar.

With firefox I got the name of the attachment, but even with the name, I cannot export it using zathura. You can test this yourself with this file(17MB). The attachment is called coverdisk1.img.

:export coverdisk1.img floppy.img yields Unknown attachment or image 'coverdisk1.img'..

:export attachment-coverdisk1.img floppy.img yields Wrote attachment 'attachment-coverdisk1.img' to '/home/mcd/Desktop/floppy.img'., but /home/mcd/Desktop/floppy.img does not exist.

The documentation needs to be clearer, there should be a way to list attachment names, and export should not say it dumped the attachment, if it didn't do so.

Or am I stupid?
