Note windows can be resized easily in order to accommodate the full title of the note. This is most useful in Map view when taking notes in Map view using the titles only to capture content (e.g. rough notes during a talk).
The feature is accessed via the Note menu. There are two options:
- Expand Horizontally (Map view only, otherwise greyed out). Tells Tinderbox to attempt to widen the note's map icon to display the whole note Name (title). The selected note's icon is expanded at the right side, maintaining existing height and X/Y origin. May be used in conjunction with Expand Vertically (below). The revised Map note width is retained for the test of the session and persisted if the TBX file is saved. Keyboard shortcut.
- Expand Vertically (Map view only, otherwise greyed out). Tells Tinderbox to attempt to increase the depth (height) of the note's map icon to display the whole note Name (title). The selected note's icon is expanded downward, maintaining existing width and X/Y origin. May be used in conjunction with Expand Horizontally (above). The revised Map note height is retained for the test of the session and persisted if the TBX file is saved. Keyboard shortcut.
Also consider the feature to display a note's body copy.
A preference is available to automatically apply one of the above (or neither) as a default for new notes.
Containers and agents also display multi-line titles (and even body text), if sufficient space is available.
