Lets say, I want to transcribe text of the document.

Full window mode can be very handy but there are some drawbacks. So image became quite small with left panel and notes in the side by side layout. I can resize notes panel but stacked layout is less comfortable for me. And I can see only one line in the latter layout (it depends on screen size), that is minus too. Stacked layout is more useful when transcribing text of the image, but it is more comfortable to read short lines of side by side layout than long lines in stacked. My beloved notes position is side by side, not stacked. Left panel could have two positions: as is now and ability to shrink it into the vertical ribbon so the more space is for the image. Yes, that’s main issues with item view are such ar you described. Thank you for answer! I’m waiting advanced search eagerly! If you can be more specific about what kind of controls are missing for you, maybe we can add them (for example, we could easily add a switch for pan/zoom via scrolling so that scrolling zooms by default and pans with ctrl/cmd).

For example, using a mouse or touchpad you can pan via point-and-drag or by using the scrollwheel (usually two-fingers on touchpad) you can zoom in via (shift) double-click or ctrl/cmd scroll if your touchpad supports it you can also zoom in and out using pinch-to-zoom. Regarding pan/zoom controls, you can already do both using the keyboard or touchpad only, but most of the shortcuts are optimized for using a mouse/touchpad and a few keys. But we don’t have a milestone in mind for that yet. If I understand you correctly your issues with item view pertain to pan/zoom controls and the fact that you can’t hide the panel, right? As to the latter, the panel is the central UI component connecting the two views in Tropy so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to find a good solution to hide it completely however, we’ve been considering adding a ‘full-screen’ (i.e., fill the window) mode for the image viewer. This will definitely allow you create search queries constrained to, e.g., notes or metadata, or even specific fields or types of metadata only. One of the milestones of our current dev cycle relates to advanced search features. So thank you for your efforts of creating such great piece of software. Sorry for a lot of requests, but that is because Tropy fired big hopes in me :).

Maybe some mapping tables for users that want export/import?Īnd I want to second feature request of adding tags to selections: Enhancing annotation: Adding tags to selections Then you can tag only part of paper and get more detailed and relevant selection with tags to selections.Īnd in the farther future Tropy can turn into free alternative to Maxqda with free notes (without adding to image), pdf import and tagging of selections. It can be quite cumbersome to map Trypy fields to Zotero fields properly, as I understand, because Zotero fields are very strictly limited unlike Tropy. The ability to export of metadata/notes to/from Zotero could be great. That are main obstacles for using Tropy for me now. It should be the ability to quickly hide and open that pane with button and hotkey.
TAGSPACES FORUM UPDATE
It is needed only sometimes (to update metadata or add a tag) but eats a lot of space which can be used by image. I can’t hide or even resize metadata/tags pane in item view.

And it can be customized to work with keyboard too, as I understand. I don’t know, can it be used in Tropy, but all other viewers feels very uncomfortable after using it because of: a) I can slide touchpad side for zooming in and out b) a very pleasant way of manipulating very big image only with touchpad so I can zoom in deeply into image and read very small letters without need to touch keyboard or mouse – I can move image to reach all zones of image only moving finger in the touchpad. This program uses jQuery plugin ABigImage. Item view is quite uncomfortable after using Tagstoo: for viewing large images.

Maybe it could be some place where user can tick or untick “notes”, “tags”, “names”, “metadata” so he can search only notes, or only notes and tags etc. I don’t know, what will bee advanced search and I hope that such opportunity will be there.

There should be opportunity to search only notes – for me it is main reason why I can’t use Tropy now as my main software for work with documents. Tropy can replace all of them.īut now it lacks some features for comfortable work: For now my workflow is quite cumbersome – several programs for viewing, tagging and denoting. First of all I want to thank you for very interesting program.
