           Summary: Image snippets while reading documents
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sameer at damagehead.com

While reading documents (pdf for example), a lot of times a figure/imae that
the text refers to will be on the next/previous page. So you would need to
scroll up and down repeatedly to correlate the text and the figure.

So i think it would be nice if we were able to mark an image in the document,
so that the marked image would appear as a floating image and then we could
scroll back to the  text, never having to scroll back down, as the marked image
is right there floating and i would be able to do all my cross referencing
right there.
And then when i am done with that image, i could close that floating image.
This would provide a great deal of readability enhancements.

The features that could be added to the floating area could be zoom in, zoom
out, resize, scrolling.

In addition, as we are already able to add bookmarks to documents and okular
remembers the bookmarks everytime the document opens. We could also
automatically display the floating image for a particular page based on the
previous session. So you don't have to mark an image everytime you are reading
that page.

We could also do similar stuff for text if proves as useful.

I hope you find my request as exciting as i imagine it to be. I believe that
this is one of those small things that really make a huge difference.

Regards
~Sameer
