--- Comment #5 from doc evans gmail com 2008-12-08 22:21:48 --- It sounds like the "okular archive" might solve one problem (the one I have at the moment: that I want multiple identical files, with identical names, to be associated with different reviews), but as you suggest it sounds like it will have its own problems regarding what happens when one moves the underlying files. I don't think it's correct to call the current situation a "bug but also a feature". I think it's more like "the current implementation of a particular feature gives rise to a bug". I'm not saying that the feature that's implemented is unimportant -- not at all; I think it's pretty vital to okular being useful. However, the limitation imposed by the current implementation -- of not being able to associate different reviews with multiple identical files with identical names -- is a terrible restriction (especially since there's no warning anywhere about it). I can't see businesses being able to use okular with that restriction. Somehow, okular needs a way to distinguish /directory1/file.pdf from the identical /directory2/file.pdf so that different reviews can be associated with them. Maybe there's no automatic way this can be done (I can see that it's a difficult problem, but it's not obvious to me that there's no automatic solution), but at the very least a manual system could be used so that the user is asked whether the two files are supposed to share highlighting. I'm kind of thinking aloud here, for which Aaron chastised me recently, so I'll stop doing that. But at the end of the day I think there's definitely a problem here that needs to be addressed somehow. From a developer's perspective it may look like a "wish" rather than a "bug", although to me as a user it definitely has the appearance of a bug. Maybe the idea of an okular archive solves all, or at least the worst, problems. I guess I'll find out and revisit the issue when 4.2 is released for Kubuntu. Incidentally, mostly okular is simply fabulous. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
