Notes/ideas section in scenes/characters/etc

Open subeli33 opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

While im writing a scene it would be nice to have an option to add notes on the spot for possible changes or ideas Or to have a notes section in the secondary window while writing scenes so you can refer to notes. maybe an option to add/edit the notes within that window.

in the chapters tab, It would be nice to have a research, and scene ideas section next to the reason and notes, ideally something like: Reason, Research Info, Notes, Scene Ideas (maybe these could appear in the scene editor secondary window to refer to as well) Same idea in the characters/locations tab. a specific area to add character ideas and such.

Maybe a separate notes section altogether in the main toolbar where you can add and title your own notes

Basically a more organized notes system. its tough if you have alot of notes and ideas and you try to cram them all together in a single window.

A separate "notes" tab in the toolbar would be nice, with possibility to devise new "note category", collapsing the categories and, of course... a tree view!

FOr example, I can have notes for background on history, flora, fauna of history world. Or say in the background two powerful states sign a treaty, which is just referred in the text; but I would want to have the main points of the treaty written down in the notes. Or I have some machine, and of course describing it in more detail in the text would be cumbersome - but, for consistency reasons, I would want to write down a note saying hwo it works, what it can do and what it cannot do.

Linking this note to relevant scenes would be nice bonus.

This is essentially what I came to say.

In my example, I have a fairly complex magic system. Currently I have it listed as a location, that way I can reference it. Being able to have a global notes option would be fantastic. That way I have a place for all those minor things that don't really fit anywhere else.

+1 on this it would be nice to have a way to gather more thoughts and ideas than a single note page.
