See first message for installation files and instructions.

I updated xournal with the following features:
- Add option to only import/show pages that have annotation

See the new menu item in the File-menu. This allows to quickly find the pages on which you made annotations. When reading magazines I sometimes make some notes on interesting articles that I should follow-up. This option allows me to quickly find those remarks.

- Added some experimental icons to the toolbar (only works with MackxPatch)

I mainly use this for the close icon, I am still considering which items to put there. Note that this only work for DR1000 with MackxPatch (> P8) installed, else you will not see the icons.

- Make sure config folder exists
- Add label-functionality

As explained before, this allows a form of bookmarking pages. To add a label: Select the Text-Tool, create a new text item and start your text with "label:" (without the quotes) and then the description of the label. E.g.: "label:This is my first label". When you select the pen-Tool, you will see that the text that will be shown is: "This is my first label" and not "label:This is my first label".
To go to the page of one of the labels, select Help->About to show the label selection dialog (experimental feature, so I used a existing menu-entry :-). You will see two column with all labels and their page number. Double-click on any of them to select the corresponding page.

- Update screen-refresh behaviour
- Add command line options to indicate 'Import Annotations' and 'Import only Annotations'.

The new feature of MackxPatch to allow files to open with a different program can make use of this. The Xournal Alternatives make use of this to open a pdf-document with its annotations or to open only the pages with annotations.

The new features might not be interesting for everybody, but I am making them to make the DR more productive for my own purpose.

Unfortunately I did not find a solution for the crash when loading problem yet.

As always, please keep giving your feedback.
Marcel.
