Summary: Restore "construct again the same annotation" behaviour. Product: okular Version: 0.10.2 Platform: unspecified OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org ReportedBy: razielm...@gmail.com Version: 0.10.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Chakra) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-ARCH Lately I've been stying a lot of large PDF documents, and I found the current workflow that the annotator imposes very awkward: 1.- Select highlight tool 2.- Highlight text 3.- Select highlight tool 4.- Highlight text 5.- Select highlight tool 6.- Highlight text ... N.- Moonwalk away A more proper workflow would be: 1.- Select highlight tool 2.- Highlight text 3.- Highlight text 4.- Highlight text ... N.- Unselect highlight tool I'm aware this was the old beaviour and people complained because they needed to unselect the tool to edit an annotation (#155668). I think there are ways to solve both these problems. For example, I see no reason why we shouldn't allow the regular right-click context menu on annotation mode. AFAIK, the only place where right-click is used while on annotation mode is with the "blue polygon" tool, to close the shape, but I think it would be maybe more intuitive to close it with a double click (tools like inkscape support both right and double click to close the shape). Anyway, it would be okay to hijack the regular right-click operation *while* drawing the shape, but keep it *before* starting to draw it. For the rest of the annotation tools, maintaining the right-click context menu while not drawing would be OK IMHO. BTW, while we have selected an annotation tool, shouldn't we deselect the "browse tool" button? Mouse doesn't behave like on browse mode, so the button shouldn't be selected. I also would be awesome to change the cursor's shape depending on the annotation tool. -- 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
