           Summary: Better usability for PDF reviews.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: alvaro.aguilera at gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: okular

The reviews of the displayed document are shown as a list on the corresponding
navigation panel on the left. The are grouped by Page > Author > Type. 

This listing need some love. Improving the following things might increase its
usability:

* most reviews are of the same type, so I usually get "Page 1 > John Doe > 30
times 'Highlight'". It would be much more useful to substitute the word
"Highlight", "Caret", etc. with a representative icon, and instead of the word
"hightlight", show part of the text inside it, truncating this text according
to the width of the navigation bar. In this way you can read all the reviews at
once without having to go over the text with the mouse to get the content of
the review displayed.

* double-click on the entry should trigger the action "open pop-up note".

* single-click on the entry should not only scroll the document to
corresponding position, but somehow highlight/mark the entry, because sometimes
there are several entries nearby and you don't know which one you selected.


Reproducible: Always
