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

[Efstratios Gavves]

Yes, of course I can use it, but then it's two tools that I need and have
running. Most of the features of almost all programs, you can do them with a
second app. The thing is, if you can have it in the same program, you have
sth powerful. Anyways, I made the recommendation, you evaluate it if it 's
really useful or it's only useful for me and if it's not crazy difficult to
implement. Keep up the very good work.

Cheers,
Stratis
