Feature: display / edit notes in sidebar
PDF seems to support nested note hierarchies. These are very often used for replying to notes. It would be great if Evince could support
- viewing the entire note hierarchies and
- appending a reply within a hierarchy of notes.
Currently, this does not seem to be possible in evince. For (1) viewing note text, one has to click on the note in the document, but only the top node can be viewed this way. The sidebar contains all items of the hierarchy, but unfortunately only lists the author and date the note was made, not the text. Appending / replying (2) does not seem to be supported at all.
Here is a PDF file loremipsum.pdf which contains a little such hierarchy (the notes were created with Acrobat reader). For reference, here is a screenshot of PDFStudio2018 showing the note hierarchy in this PDF file. (Adobe Acrobat also only supports adding / replying in the note list, not in the document view. This makes sense because how should one click on the correct reply in a hierarchy on the note icon in the document?)
