Title: Sticky notes or text boxes
Post by: the Elf on 2017 November 09 12:22:41

Sometime I want to write down something that crosses my mind. It is great to save all images and the history in a project. If I could add small notes to the workspaces I could have it all in one place instead of some textfile or my astro journal (a real paper notepad!).
May well be the function exists and I could not find it.

regards
the Elf

I'll second that! A quick-and-dirty note-keeping trick is to use several NoOperation processes with short comments as icon identifiers 8)

Hi, you can use the instance description  (http://pixinsight.com.ar/en/docs/37/pixinsight-instance-description.html)on each process icon.

Hello Alejandro, thanks for the reply and demo! I do use Instance Descriptions however it would be nice to have something more visible on the PI desktop.
