PLEASE NOTE: Sorry for the double message. I forgot to cc evince-list. - I find putting everything into the annotations toolbar more intuitive. I will be soon working on annotation circles, lines and squares. I am currently working on current selection markup functionality.
-The undo function is something I wish I had on evince as Apple Preview has it. I am also currently working on that. I think it would just make the program more streamlined. It helps with finding another way of removing annotations but also correct text annotations. I'll see how far I can get with that. -As for PS files, I can't open them at all. Every time it says "File type PS document (application/postscript) is not supported." Converting them to PDF for viewing would help with reliability of opening to view PS files. Apple Preview does this as well.
