Here one can see that some resources are called "untitled" or "Microsoft Word"

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The title meta-information of PDF files (the one Okular uses as window title
for example) is nonsensical in many PDFs, because authors mostly seem to not
care about them and just take whatever their application puts in there (things
like "Microsoft Word" or "Title" are quite common).
However they sometimes replace the filenames as resource name in the Add Items
dialog and Activity screen as soon as I open the PDF in Okular (for some reason
this is not always the case).
This makes the resource names pretty much useless for these files, since
changing the title is far more complicated than changing the file name.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Connect a PDF with a set title to an activity.
Open it in Okular


Actual Results:  
In some cases, the resource is renamed to the PDF title

Expected Results:  
The filename should remain the resource name.
