SUMMARY

Have a setting to show the review bar by default.
This is very useful when you have to review a lot of papers, so you don't have to press F6 every time you open a new file.

What do you think, Simone?

FWIW Dolphin has various settings to govern what should be visible by default in new windows so it's not unprecedented.
Comment 3 Simone Gaiarin 2019-11-05 07:07:07 UTC
In the current state of the new annotation toolbar, the toolbar visibility is kept across sessions, so the current behavior solves this bug.

We have multiple ways to hide it, so I believe that it won't be a problem for the rest of the users. I would keep it like this until some user request the opposite behavior (close it when okular restarts/new window is opened).

What do you think?

Rationale: I think of this toolbar as a standard toolbar (even if it is not completely so), so I would keep its behavior as close as possible to the standard toolbars. Example: in Kile you have toolbars for math symbols and other stuff, and their visibility is kept across sessions even if they may not always be needed.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2019-11-05 15:14:16 UTC
Yep, I think that makes sense.
Comment 5 peidaqi 2019-11-05 15:38:05 UTC
By "across sessions", do you mean it would remember the status of the anotation toolbar after you close the app? If so I think it makes sense.

Thanks!

Yep!

Test Plan
Before testing this revision
Delete or Temporary move aside the following files:

~/.config/okularpartrc
~/.config/okularrc
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/okular/part.rc
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/okular/shell.rc

Nomenclature
Actions in the main toolbar:

Quick annotations
Actions in the annotation toolbar:

Annotation actions Highlighter, Underline, Squiggle, Strike out, Typewriter,
Inline note, Popup note, Freehand line, Arrow, Straight line, Rectangle, Ellipse,
Polygon, Stamp

Annotation config actions Line width, Color, Inner color, Opacity, Font, Annotation settings

Other actions Add to Quick Annotations, Pin

Autotests

 First run: annotation toolbar is not visible

 Selecting Tools > Annotations shows the annotation toolbar (below the main toolbar by default)

 Select an annotation > toolbar is shown

 Select a quick annotation > toolbar is shown

 Hide action (red cross) on the toolbar hides the toolbar

 Keys 1-9,0 select the (builtin) Annotation actions (one case tested)

 Keys Alt+1-9,0 select the quick annotation actions (one case tested)

 No annotation action selected: Quick Annotations is enabled, Add to quick annotations is disabled, Annotation config actions are disabled, Pin is enabled

 The current document is an image: Highlighter, Underline, Squiggle, Strike out are disabled (also in Quick annotations)

 The current document is protected: All actions are disabled

 Select annotation: the  Annotation config actions are enabled and their values set to the ones for the current annotation (taken from okularpartrc)

 Click an annotation action when none selected: browse mode is selected

 Click the currently selected annotation action: the action is unchecked and the tool disabled (back to browse mode)

 Click ESC: the currently selected annotation action is unchecked

 If Pin unchecked the selected annotation is unchecked after it has be used once and we are back to Browse mode

 The annotation systems works when multiple Okular tabs are open (the selected annotation is per-tab)

Manual tests

(TODO) Check that kconf_update updates the key AnnotationTools to QuickAnnotationTools in ~/.config/okularpartrc

Color icon is a format-text-color (if inline note or typewriter) or format-stroke-color for all other annotations
All actions have tooltips (some change based on the fact that the icon is enabled or not)
If a custom Line Width or Opacity is set through the Annotation Settings dialog, its value appears as a new checked action in the Line width or Opacity menu
If a custom stamp is selected through the Annotation Settings dialog, its name or filename (without path) appears as a new checked action in the Stamp menu
In Configure Okular > Annotations it is only possible to configure the quick annotations. Modifying them here updates the Quick annotations list after clicking Apply

The current document is an image: Highlighter, Underline, Squiggle, Strike out are disabled in Quick annotations
The state of Pin action is remembered across Okular launches
Selecting a quick action selects the corresponding action and loads its config values (color, line width, ...)
Setting the color and fill color works for all annotations (to be tested carefully, can be problematic for typewriter and inline note given the different internal mechanism to store the color in the settings)
Test stamp annotation (handled differently from the rest of the annotations)
