Anonymous Puddle Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Your question is “Do you believe that a ‘Notes window’ is necessary?” and you say: On 7/2/2024 at 9:59 AM, albertkinng said: Let me know your thoughts on this idea. Yet… 2 hours ago, albertkinng said: This topic is getting way off track. I provided a very simple example in my post—just a box for unformatted text. That's all I was asking for, nothing complicated like invoice creation or anything else. Just a space for text. How can you expect to say let me know your thoughts on the idea of a notes window and then say it’s getting way off-track when someone does exactly that? Yes, your idea is very simple and rudimentary, however your question is much more broad. @loukash goes on to explain his workflow and how he achieves that, then concludes with: 16 hours ago, loukash said: And that's the point: Affinity apps are often a part of my projects, but they are not exclusive. That's why I need project notes outside. This is in no way off-topic! loukash 1 Quote

This would personally be my preferred approach (don’t forget “non-exportable”). I already leave off-canvas notes along the text where it is needed. I don’t see a separate notes panel as necessarily bad or useless, but I think it might risk being overlooked in my way of working: I would make complex notes about a document, come back later, and forget to even open the notes panel. And I often benefit from notes sticking with the part of the document I am leaving the note about. For such cases, sometimes I even pin the off-canvas note to some relevant text. I don’t think a separate notes panel would be the best solution for such needs. And it might need to be mentioned that the terminology “Notes panel” is already taken, where it refers to the panel that manages footnotes, endnotes, and sidenotes. Bryan Rieger and loukash 2 Quote

This workflow in combination with the recently introduced States could solve note taking immediately. Keep one ore more 'notes templates' as assets and drag them in the layout. With Layer States they can be turned on and off with one click provided they are named accordingly. d. garrettm30 1 Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.
