           Summary: preloading whole document (or at least 10-20 pages) in
                    aggressive mode
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.8
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hir.i.mogul at gmail.com


Version:           0.8 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In university, i have to learn and work with presentation-slides, which are
converted to *.pdf files. 

When i have to search something, which is not text, but e.g. a picture of a
Ribozyme or diagram, i have to go through all slides of a document to look it
up.

Therefore i need preloaded slides. (and not just the very next one)
I want to go fluently and fast through all slides and not be forced to wait 2
seconds while every slide has to be loaded first.
My PC and Notebook store 4Gb Ram, a Quad (PC) and Dual Core CPU (NB), which are
doing nothing until i zap through the slides(!)

I would recommend to make an extra check-box available (in aggressive mode),
which allows Okular to preload the whole (or at least 20-30 slides of the)
document. (maybe you can build in something like check if there is a minimum of
512MB of Ram left over)

This would make my work a lot of easier and faster ;)



Thanks in advance
