[Okular-devel] [okular devel] Feature request: image snapshots inside the pdf for comparison

[Efstratios Gavves]

Hi to all.

I haven't subscribed to the okular developer mailing list, I don't know if
it is necessary. Anyways, I am using Okular since KDE4 was published and I
have to say, it 's an amazing tool. I think it's one of the top pdf viewers.
Anyways, while using it a lot, I thought of a killer feature, that would be
absolutely great to have and I think it's not that difficult with Qt4. That
feature would be the following:

when dragging + right-clicking in an area(I guess inside the pdf, even
though being able to select an arbitrary area from your computer screen
would be even better), to have an option to get the snapshot of the area.
Then, when just right-clicking, without any dragging, have an option to
paste the snapshot in a pop-up window. That would be amazingly useful,
especially for research reading. It's quite often that you need to compare
two graphs, plots, images or even text and tables. Usually you have to go
back and forth and have a mental image of the whatever you want to compare.
With this extra functionality, this won't be any more necessary.

I don't know if this feature already exists, personally I haven't found it
either as an option inside the program or as a feature request. If someone
answers to this email, please reply to my personal email as well, because I
don't know if it is necessary to subscribe to the mailing list as well to
receive the responses.

I hope I didn't wasted your time.

Best,
Stratis
