Bug ID: 455115
Summary: Show pop-up notes text more directly
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: alb...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Situation: I have a PDF with many review pop-up notes.
Currently I need to focus the app first and then hover the mouse over such a
pop-up note and after a few seconds the text appears, but disappears when I
move away the mouse.
Alternatively, I can also rightclick it, click "Open Pop-up Note", then it
shows it (quite unreadable, black text on a very dark blue background), then I
need to click on its close button afterwards.
I now need to go through about 5000 such review notes, and for each of it I
basically need to copy & paste it into a separate (Latex editor) at the right
place. The way pop-up notes are displayed in Okular makes this very annoying. I
also consistently need to switch focus from the editor to Okular such that the
mouse hover works.
So, this is a feature request to make this better somehow. I'm somewhat open to
how exactly, as long as it would simplify such a workflow (which is probably
not so uncommon). Some potential things:
- Make the mouse hover also works when the Okular app does not have the focus.
- Make the mouse hover instant without delay.
- Make the mouse hover less exact, already show it when I'm close to it, or
just maybe always show the nearest pop-up note.
- Keep the mouse hover pop-up text open even when I move away the mouse!
- Always show the pop-up notes, for example in the review pane, or in another
separate pane.
