Hello!

Qpdfview is a very convenient and fast pdf viewer, especially with the
implemented annotation feature, which, nevertheless, could be improved.
Therefore I suggest the following:

1. The annotation text icon should be moveable and deletable.
2. The highlighted text should be deletable.
3. Ideally, there should be an undo/redo function regarding annotations,
triggered by Strg+Z and Strg+Y respectively.
4. Currently, the borders of the left and right highlighted area are round.
Please make them, so that you can highlight chosen passages with a vertical
line. This isn't possible now, since a vertical line will look ellipsoid.
5. It would be very useful to have different highlighting colours, but I
think this will be difficult to implement.
6. There should be a sidebar (F9), that will show all annotations in a
document.
7. Annotations should also be indexed and found by the search function
(Strg+F) or maybe only in the sidebar - this should be easier to implement.
8. That's the most important feature request: Show a save dialogue when
closing a document, if annotations were added before.
9. Split the annotate function into two independent functions - highlight
text and annotate - so that separate shortcuts could be defined.

I think, that these suggestions will hugely improve qpdfview. Please let me
know, what you are thinking of them and if it's possible to implement them.

Thanks in advance and a huge thank you for maintaining and improving
qpdfview!
