Dockable Notes field in all three packages

[Tormy]

A kind of Notes filed will be nice to have (really useful), to be able to dock it.

Many times I needed this feature. I tried to see if there was already but I didn't find anything.

During ANY work I need to take notes, to write down which Brush I did use at certain point, which technique, what are the things missing and why etc etc etc all related to the project.

I want to stop to have Notepad or OneNote aside. Yes they are valid but not practical and NOT integrated in the project.

For now, you can add an embedded or linked document into your project and make notes in that

Easy enough to hide it when not needed and it will stay with your project forever

How?

You can do it with any of the Affinity apps but for now assume Publisher

So, create a blank publisher document and save it

File > Place that document into your project document (it does not have to be fullsize, just shrink it to 1" square)

Double click that document and it will open in another document tab, make your notes then close that tab

Hide that embedded document in the layers panel when not needed

I tried it. The inked or the Embedded behave identically.

 

Ok it's a partial solution let's call it a workaround.

I hope in the future a real NOTES dockable field will eb available. It doesn't cost so much at the end.
