Hi William, William> Any thoughts on this? I looked, but didn't see it in the feature William> requests, nor much in the mailing list archives (Mark Edgington William> <edgimar@gm...> - 2010-01-25 23:14), but did find one entry at: William> https://github.com/dmgerman/xournal/blob/master/src/TODO --- line 222:
