This new version with the (beautiful) popup bar is a significant improvement, and I'm thrilled to hear the conclusion that it will soon be customizable to user preference! Its definitely the correct, and a generally rare, approach since we all have our idiosyncrasies. I'll reserve my remaining popup bar feedback until that has been implemented.
I do, however, have some other suggestions:
1. I support the request for deleting (multiple) highlights in "Browse highlights" - both in the book viewer and in the main calibre Browse Highlights tool as well. The first use case is that I don't need to open the book to view them. The real use-case is that I'm dumb. Sometimes I make a mistake. Sometimes I end up highlighting everything on a page and want to refine them. Sometimes I might just want to consolidate a couple highlights and notes into one. Another reason: because I have about 20 useless/dummy highlights across 5 books right now from trying to test this tool...
2. Allow for editing notes from the main Calibre Browse Annotations tool - again, because then I don’t need to open the book.
3. Allow for exporting notes from the main Browse Annotations tool as well. I know that someone requested exporting multiple books' notes, but I'm satisfied with a single book's notes. Again, to save time from having to open the books.
4. When we are in the Notes Editor, it would be great to be able to just click away from the window and it will save the note. Right now you have to navigate to the Finish button to save a note and if you click away, it returns you to an intermediate highlights mode, where you have to click the checkmark in the top right to exit.
Thanks for the great work!
