--- Comment #106 from Michal Svoboda <kde spatium org> 2010-05-22 09:17:40 --- > The situation is still the same: missing annotation editing support in > poppler. So why are you so insistent on that particular library. Suppose poppler can't do that and won't do that. Then it's just the same as waiting for the linux kernel to have it implemented.

Well, one of the usual bullshit responses among those suggests that this is not really your problem but it's with poppler so we should go ASK THEM (tm). But I as a user don't really care if your problem lies in poppler or double whopper or whatever. I use your program, not the library. You use the library, you know what to ask them for. Why do you expect us the users to know better than you, and why do you expect us to do your job (integrating the library) for you? And about the "has been said for years". I admire your patience. I really do, because if I was in your shoes I would just code the thing instead of takling for years about how it can't be done. And maybe if this issue goes for another couple of years I'll just do it for you. > poppler's architecture can, and is being (slowly) changed, but the main job is > missing.

That's unfortunately how it's gonna be. Not every Okular user is a hacker and even if he is he might not be interested in the learning curve associated with hacking Okular. Remember there is a lot of other broken software out there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
