Good day!

Thank you for Okular and your work and effort!
I've been using Okular for some time now and Acrobat even longer.
With respect to usability I have some suggestions that - in my view - might help to make Okular even better:

1) Offer a plain "Save"-command and allow the user to make it his default option for saving a pdf.
- Having worked with Acrobat (and pdfs) for a very long time, I never understood why Okular offers only the cumbersome and time-consuming way of "Save as" (plus additional safety-message) to save a pdf. What is it good for? Are there technical reasons? 

2) Once activated by the user, the "Highlight"-tool (or any other annotation-tool) should stay activated until the user explicitly de-selects it or selects another tool.
- The current procedure is really unproductive: you select the highlight-tool, highlight some text. You want to highlight some more but after releasing the mouse-button, the highlight-tool is automatically de-selectet. So you have to select it again, highlight some text...

3) If possible, allow the user to integrate the annotation-panel into the menu-bar.

Kind regards!

1) See bug 228114.

2) Just double-click the tool.

3) See bug 157289 and bug 333978.

I won't repeat the general comments Frank did in bug 336910.
