Description Johannes Zarl-Zierl 2023-09-08 23:53:50 UTC

The new annotation feature of the viewer dialog starts in "no annotations" mode and has to be explicitly toggled to "Annotate" or "Add Tokens" mode.

To quote Andreas in bug #474307:

> Unfortunately, the change (crtl-T) is not permanent, which is what I would prefer.
> [...]
> "Let me chose the default setting somewhere in the viewer settings." 
> This would also have the benefit to move this hidden feature a bit more to the front.

@Andreas: I've added you to the CC list for this wishlist item.

Thanks, and kudos for keeping the docs AHEAD of the release. I've never seen this before :-)

Second here -- assigning tokens is extremely useful in the viewer (to me, at any rate), and I'm not interested in annotating through the viewer.  Being able to set this once would make life easier.
