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.
