I was very fond of the specific behavior of Okular, consisting in saving annotations in a separate XML file: The original file was never modified, that is to say, not before the user was to perform some "export" action, and to my opinion, it was very very convenient. So we have to say goodbye to this behavior a la Xournal, or a la Gimp. I hope undo interface will be better that what there is today: today there are annotation actions which are very difficult to undo: When one draw a thin line, or a rectangle, it is sometime difficult to put the pointing device with enough accuracy on the line in order to be able to delete it. Sometime, you can even have "invisible annotation", like a rectangle, so small, that it is not actually visible, made by mistake. In Xournal, the selection mechanism is much more convenient: you can draw a rectangular selection, that select everything which is inside. So my hope is that it will still be usable, and that we wont have to resort to git to be able to make the undo. Otherwise I've duly noted that the behavior has changed and that the bug is fixed. And that the change is to be expected from applications 17.12 and onward. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
