List of annotated documents
I would really want a function that allows me to list all annotated documents, preferably sorted on time of annotation or only those documents that have not been merged (with xournal) yet (after the last annotation was made).
I would like to fit it into the current way of working, so selecting a view in the Home-screen that shows the documents that I want. However, the current views only use information that is available in global.db, the annotation information is available in the local metadata.db files of which there is one in each folder. I was wondering if somebody already had a thought on this problem? |

The simple solution would be to create a new different program to list these files. Well, in fact it should be easy to add a new virtual folder for Navigator ;-) To get all these files we should recursively walk all folders in SD and read metadata.db files. Perhaps slow, but doable. Iņigo |

I currently working to port last evince to dr800/1000, if it succeed, we could add another field into global.db => existing of annotation and add this view to ctb

I agree with yuri_b that the simplest solution would probably be to add one or more fields to global.db.
Offtopic: This is on my wishlist too. I'd also like to get a "Next annotation" function to skip from annotation to annotation within a book. |

Thats why I'm working on port evince:
full sources, full control, support for pdf,djvu, easy way to add other formats like fb2,txt. (It's not easy apparently becouse new evince depended on new libraries ) |

Not fully no, but some limited functionality should be possible I think. There's a "go to page..." function and the pagenumbers for the annotations are stored in metadata.db. Combining these two could give the functionality I'm looking for, albeit in a limited way.

I am not in favour of changing the fields in the global.db database, this would make it incompatible with the original firmware. I am currently thinking of (mis-)using the tag field.

If you have the latest dr-hackx installed, you should be able to use the Tools->Open With .. - CTB-menu on pdf documents. Select Annotations Only and xournal will only import those pages that have annotations (and an extra empty page as the first page ...). |

An alternative would be to add (with an external script/program) a bookmark on every page that has an annotation. The PageBar at the bottom of UDS shows the bookmarks, so it would be easy to jump to them (if there are not too many). |

No, I don't want to be backward compatible, if you add new features and need a new fields/support for them in global.db -> why do not change database. I don't like some temporal fixes or hacks in favor of speed/simplicity. Yura |

Yes, except that I'd really like to use the native app I use xournal for conversion only. Quote:
