           Summary: Wish: New option to save embedded annotation upon
                    change/document close
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: flying-sheep at web.de

            Status: NEW
         Component: PDF backend
           Product: okular

While being happy that bug 151614 is fixed (thanks again), i asked about some
specifics of the implementation. The following wish arose:

If someone wants to have their annotations saved as automatically and
unintrusively as possible inside the document, they should be able to make
okular do so.

My idea was that there is a checkbox in the options which replaces the current
behavior of asking to save modifications on document close with automatic
saving in the original location; either on document close or  – even better
imho – after each modification. (it’s better because if saving happens
implicitly and without notice, it should be as soon as possible to reduce data
loss in case of crashes)

tl;dr: add checkbox to enable implicit saving of annotations into the original
document after each modification.

PS: i can’t overstate how glad i am that you implemented internal annotations!

Reproducible: Always
