Summary: About the new UI of Annotations tools.
Product: okular
Version: 1.11.0
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
Hi.
Today I used the new version (1.11.0) and I got shocked by the great UI changes
at the annotations interface.
English is not my first language, sorry if my text sounds rude.
I love to make my annotations using the old sidebar with "quick annotation
tools" that I predefined.
Has the sidebar annotation tools gone forever?
With the new UI:
- I need to navigate in a drop-down menu "Quick Annotations" using two clicks
instead of one to access a predefined tool. (I tried to define a shortcut to
this menu but it doesn't work.)
- The actual selected "predefined annotation tool" is less visible and I can't
peek at the "old" sidebar to see the shortcut by the "always present" ordered
icons.
- If I use the new "Annotation bar" to try to perceive what predefined tool I'm
using ... I have to look at a gazillion of icons to infer (type, color, etc.)
... and this bar steals vertical space.
At my use case, I don't need a bar to configure each new annotation with new
colors and etc. I just need a practical way to access predefined tools (if
possible, without stealing vertical space) ... with a good UI to alternate
between them and see what is selected.
I don't know if my "use case" is an esoteric one ... but I'm feeling a bit
disappointed. Am I missing something about how to use the new UI correctly?
