This is "okular-devel" how can i know you are and end user and not a "devel" as the name of the list implies? My answer was not meant to be offensive in any way, i was just stating the reality: * Lots of people have stated the situation is problematic and would like it improved (us developers included) * Nobody has time to fix it (thus asking if you can fix it yourself) All shouting and bad words and hate is in your imagination.
