Title: note problems
Post by: SJB on October 17, 2019, 11:28:33 AM
This may be logged already but I didn't find anything in search.

When nesting a note within a note with "move content" enabled:
1. It's not really useful to move the parent note because the content within the child note moves twice as fast. And if the hierarchy is three notes, then the child content moves 3x as fast.
2. A child note can fall behind the parent note, even if it was created more recently. Would it be possible to have more control over this arrangement? ie "send to back", "bring to front"

I'm trying to add a bit of visual structure but this is making it tricky.

Hello I'm bumping this as I still have a few pain points with notes.

Points 1 and 2 from my last post still seem to be issues. I can't recreate #2 but it does happen sometimes still.

Some additional things:

3. Note borders are hard to grab to resize the notes when zoomed out. Is there a way to make it work more consistently? Maybe the border maintains thickness?
4. Note text is hard to read when zoomed out. Would be nice if user could make it larger like in UE Blueprint
5. Note movement doesn't get added to undo buffer. Sometimes notes get bumped and things get really messy. Undo would be nice instead of manual cleanup.

Edit: With #5 maybe a solution is to make notes have a top bar which is the only place a note can be dragged. I think UE Blueprint might be like this. So that will allow click drag selection of a group of nodes inside a note without the note itself moving.

Thanks!
