Hi,<br><br>a backup problem from a friend calls my attention to how okular will<br>store annotations etc. In the latest svn-code I saw, that all<br>informations will be stored in a folder in the home directory of the<br>current user like KPDF does. Hence some questions and notices
<br>releating to that point:<br><br>- If you just backup the pdf, you lost your annotations unless you<br>also backup ~/.kde4/share/apps/okular/*. I guess, no normal user would<br>know that. Is it for pdf files possible to add an option, that the xml
<br>file should be attached to the pdf file? Then annotations, bookmarks,<br>current viewpoint etc. and the original pdf where one file and easy to<br>backup.<br><br>- I found no possibility to clean recent opened files in the settings.
<br><br>- One really large problem is, that you could see over the<br>bookmark-xml files in your home directory, which files you have opened<br>(for a very very long time). How to remove that files?<br><br>- Another problem with that xml's is: when I write documents with
<br>LaTeX, I often generate pdfs to see how it looks, and for every pdf<br>there is created an xml. Well these files does not need big storage,<br>but it is also not nice to have so much rubbish files in our<br>directory. How could that be solved? Also compare location, time to
<br>identify such a regenerated file?<br><br><br><br>If some of the described problems are already solved in okular, sorry<br>for mention it here, but at the moment a have troubles to use okular,<br>and I am nit so professional to look through the source code and find
<br>the answers.<br><br><br><br>Thanks for your work, and I can't wait to use the annotation functions<br>for my pdf files!<br><br>Lorenz</blockquote><div><br>Thank you for bringing this up, I feel a bit uneasy about this whole issue as well.
<br><br>PDF's, for example, do have annotation support - which isn't used. I can see that, as annotating pictures is supported as well, and those often don't support this feature... Annoyingly. Yet I think it sucks to have to go for the 'worst' solution here... I think sharing annotations is VERY important, a big thing for the whole annotation concept. How do you guys intend to make that easy as pie, if I may inquire?
