In progress [working on]:
-> search: backward text search (BR117045)
-> various backends: fill about data information
-> gui: add config for gfx (yes/no) and text (yes/no/kde) antialias
-> core: provide a binary compatible okularcore library to extend the format capabilities
-> KPDF -> okular conversion of configuration & datafiles {configuration(done), document data(in progress), kwallet passwords(missing)}
-> inverse search (BR113191)
   find with an usability expert the "best" way to activate such a link
   provide a configuration widget to choose the editor and configure a custom one
-> toc: highlight the row of the current page (BR127358)
   (check if there's a better way to do the highlighting - in case just edit TOCModel)
-> annotations: renderers in PagePainter (for the 6 annots)
-> annotations: handlers in PageView for WindowAnnots and others..
-> annotations: creators in PageViewAnnotator (40% done)
-> annotations: framework (BR67300,BR62793) and tools (BR67300,BR91251)
-> annotations: add the annot pane (cool plz!)
-> rotate the whole document / individual pages (on screen/print?) (BR99352)
-> link: add a Okular::Anchor link class
-> pageview: update layout when toggling the 'ebook atyle alignment'

More items (first items will enter 'In progress list' first):
-> annotations: "move" and "delete" tools
-> rethink which buttons show in the toolbar (BR139825)
-> annotations: configurabile tools in the toolbar (BR137903)
-> pageview: add vp damaging queue and flush function. add coolfx to smoothmove using damaging
-> annotations: toolbar: display tooltip only the first time
-> annotations: provide nice wizards. Make it easy to deliver/copy/move the xml files (by Uga)
-> GHNS: get hot new ebooks on the supported formats (pdf for now) (enrico)
-> pageview: add scrollbar marks for bookmarks (like kate)
-> pageview: change document viewport after mouse scrolling ended (not every scroll frame)
   this will give better mvc consistancy
-> other info on pdfs properties: number of accessed times, time spent on pdf, ...
-> part: collapsing the left panel will hide it (activate hiding action)
-> preload: add a delay when forward loading pages
-> bookmarks: fastmarks (new bookmark concept with tab-like signs, shortcuts, etc) (BR
-> viewport restoring: sometimes it seems to restore the viewport a bit under where it was
-> core: Delay TOC (DocumentSynopsis) generation (and move it on thread)
-> core: add a way to handle "named xpdf links" in Okular::Action instead of resolving all
   dests when displaying a page (speedups a lot generation of page with many links)
-> toolbar: move the toolbar to the top of pageview (left panel is really at the left of the toolbar)
-> thumbnailslist: clinking on highlighted rect should bring the viewport to that search result (BR98334)
-> Dom framework to cache document metadata. It should archive those types of data:
   (NOTE: already Dom'ed object is marked with 'X')
   - <X> Synopsis will go there after 1st generation (so we can edit it too)
   - <X> Document info (after the 1st gen)
   - <X> Bookmarked pages
   - <X> Current Viewport and 10 history steps
   - Edited pages (rotated/with_data for example)
   - Overlay editing (highlighting/notations/etc..)
   - Presentation related overrides (FS mode, individual / global transitions)
   - ..more stuff.. but this isn't a problem, since a QDom is flexible by design
   The Object will reside into the Document and must not be accessible by Observers in
   a direct way. Dom format, relations to other classes and accessing must be specified
   in a separated diagram or text file.
   - Plus think at storing xml data to an external shared server.. something that
   has to do with versioning data.. (shared annotations, bookmarks & co.)
-> add okular manual in PDF format loaded on the first startup or on menu->help->manual
   this visually explains basic usage, mouse buttons functions & more..
-> ADD: click over image allows "save image" [60% done (activerect of type image)]
-> zoom: fit text (with configurable margin)
-> bookview: 3d opengl widget for viewing the document as a real book (turning pages, etc..)
-> wallet: use asynchronous interface (to prevent ui-blocking)
-> restore a location from a given url (like http:/someurl?stringForViewport) (BR99240)
-> automatic online dictionaries / translators (BR80338)
-> sidebar: evaluate wether to make the left toolbox auto-hiding (kicker like) (BR94495)
-> add OCR for building TextPages out of pure graphical (aka scanned) pages
-> presentation: provide a pageX/totalPages indicator in addition to the circle one
-> presentation: implement missing transitions (6/11 done) (BR139284)
-> presentation: save a flag (to the xml) to open a pdf in presentation mode
-> presentation: wheel not visible on black. gradient appreciated on lighter backgrounds.
-> presentation: 2 pages per view, for users reading ebooks with wide screens.
-> goto 'logical' page (usually differs from pdf's page) (req. by Luca Burrelli)
-> move some document related features from part to the document (see find, goto dialog, ...)
-> tools: ruler (BR155737), measure: distance, perimeter, ?area?, color picker
-> export: export to other formats keeping formatting (PS is basically printing. PNG is easy too)
-> export: extract images (have a look at ImageOutputDev.cc and pdfimages.cc from xpdf (not in our xpdf sources))
-> history as a toolbox child (collecting Doc's viewport changes notifications)
-> take care of TODOs in code
-> cleanup code and update README.png

Icons needed:
- okular (ToolBAR): 1 continuous, 2 tied-pages, 3 Normal (not scroll only, it
    performs other ops), 4 Zoom, 5 Select, 6 Annotation/Review
- okular (Edit Tools): text highlighter, line, polygon, ellipse, text underline
- COMMON (here in ToolBox): Toc, Annotations
