Note taking in PI?
« on: 2019 March 23 05:23:24 »

I like to keep a few notes on what steps/settings i've used in processing an image.   At the moment i'm just doing this in a separate text file, but inevitably that gets mislaid or forgotten.    Is there any way to do my note-recording within the PI environment, or to embed a text file into the .pxiproject file?    I guess probably not, but i've managed to overlook 'obvious' features before now...
Thanks
ian

For live notes
i use the
Script Editor.
You can start with an empty file or  load any existing textfile into Script Editor and update the infos
during your processing steps.
At the end i copy all text from the Script Editor into the text window of the Project Save.
So everything is within the project.

If you dont use the Script Editor you can write into the Project Save Window your text at save time.
This is for me not so recommended than after 4 hours of processing without notes i dont write
all my notes into the window because i forgot some steps.

So best way to write during processing in  Script Editor and copy at the end into the ProjectSave Window.

Thanks, Gerald, neat idea!    ("I've managed to overlook 'obvious' features before now..."!)
