            Bug ID: 343910
           Summary: horizontal continuous scrolling
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.19.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ansa.ansa at gmx.net

This wish has been reported for the kpdf app and has not been granted yet:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140589

This is a wish for "horizontal continuous mode". Every now and then I have a
scanned book, which means that the pdf has horizontal pages that contain 2 of
the original pages. I would appreciate the "left to right" reading mode, which
would make it possible (with the right zoom) to view any two or even three
consecutive pages of the original book simultaneously (the one I am reading,
the preceding one and the following one), i.e. one and a half page of the pdf
file. Currently, I may view this: 1-2 3-4 5-6 In double mode, I may choose from
1-2 3-4 5-6 and 1-2 3-4 5-6 The horizontal continuous mode would give me 1-2
3-4 5-6 (with the possibility to zoom onto "2 3" as well).

A simple solution to this problem would consist of two (hopefully) minor
adjustments to Okular:
- extend the "Overview columns" from maximum 8 columns to unlimited number --
setting this to N, where N is the number of pages in the document, and then
adjusting the zoom to exactly fit page height (but not to fit page width)
exactly provides the "horizontal continuous scroll" that I am wishing for.
+ provide "Zoom: fit height" option (similar to "Zoom: Fit width" and "Zoom:
Fit page") both in the Zoom dropdown list and as an icon that can be added to
the toolbar

Reproducible: Always
