Personal notes on the workspace
« on: 2015 August 22 10:51:04 »
I would like the ability to add personal processing notes somewhere on the workspace, perhaps a text module of some kind that can be saved with the project load/save.  It's not uncommon for me to work at processing in short bursts over many days so having notes available would be a help to me.

You may use the NoOperation process for that. Create a new process icon, and edit the description to add your notes. Change the name of the icon to create a title for your note. :)

Thanks Carlos, that certainly works.  I find it a bit unwieldy though.  Drag the process onto the desktop, edit information...it seems like there could be a simple script for note taking.  However I certainly don't have the skills to make it!  :)

Joel,

How about putting your notes in the Project Description? It's Project specific, not Workspace, but I use it to save useful information.

Hi Joel, see also Instance Description. Every process icon can have a descriptive text, useful to save notes and details about the process.

Saludos, Alejandro.
