If this is necessary only in the document manager plugin, I think both 
solutions could be used. Perhaps the second one is better.

If this is useful in several plugins, I think it would be better to 
create a new function in libanjuta to save and restore file names 
instead of strings. But the document manager plugin needs a function to 
write a list of file names too.

I don't see it as a big problem. If you edit the wrong file, you still 
have the original file in the copied directory and you will see it when 
you will check your changes.
