I would love to have the ability to place footnotes within resources, for me personally it would cut notes creation by 30-40% with this function.
This is basically how I use notes: as personal footnotes.
How would you see footnotes as different from notes in either form or function?
Looking and acting more like footnotes- smaller icons or numbers- limited in scope- and able to insert more easily- just like in a Word docx- AND DEFINATELY NOT CONNECTED TO NOTES IN ANY FORM OR FASHION.
I would also like this. [Y]
And why do you need to shout "AND DEFINATELY NOT CONNECTED TO NOTES IN ANY FORM OR FASHION."? Logically they would simply be an additional interface for building notes - and they would resemble closely the "marginal note" model that we had a major uprising against in Logos 4. What I have seen in the forums as problems with notes are primarily one of the following problems:
From my personal perspective, the last major upgrade of notes made them so that I can now actually use them - multiple attachment points and labels being the extra functionality that finally made them usable for me. And I had it down to simply saying Luke 18:1-8 for Bob to know I was back on the topic of notes ... and had introduced myself as the burr under Bob's saddle on the topic.
So I seriously ask, why the shouting? I can see the advantage of a one-stroke, resource default note-file as a "footnote/endnote function" but cannot see any reason to divorce it from notes - doubling the maintenance, increasing the opportunity for bugs and creating an artificial logical divide.
MJ- my remark there has to do with the terrible interface between highlighting and notes- it screwed up just simply highlighting - thats why I read and highlight only on BW now- to much trouble in L6.
And NO footnotes does not need to be tied to notes - why do you like clicking and unclicking so much?
Glad you got what you wanted.
To much Christian Fascism on the forums.
That's uncalled for and I know you know it.
What I am trying to understand is what you mean by "it screwed up just simply highlighting".
Logically footnotes are tied to notes whether or not that is how they are implemented ... that's a basic fact of data architecture and object inheritance. As are highlights, which would process as a subtype of notes whether or not the connection was made visible to the user.
I'm not particularly fond of clicking and unclicking, I'm not particularly fond of Microsoft products although the current Windows and Office might win me over. I am, however, particularly fond of logic and straight-forward communication: "screwed up" doesn't convey to me what your difficulty is ... only your frustration. And if I don't understand the problem I can't help you with the cause of the frustration.
BTW - if you can clearly state what the problem is with the interface Eli, whose job it is to design interfaces, is very attentive to user input.
Hi MJ - I don't know if you tracked a recent (rather long) discussion on this which Eli did engage with at https://community.logos.com/forums/p/115571/764804.aspx#764804
It would provide some context for what Whyndell is saying here.

Thanks for keeping that link, Graham. I was thinking I was going to have to go find it for MJ, but you saved me the trouble!

It got raised objected to (whilst in beta) and Logos decided not to change their viewpoint, I also say its cluttered but do understand their point of view, I just wish you could force all highlights to a specific file, and notes to different file without needing to change which file each time ..

Are you aware that you can do this at the palette level?

Okay, I finally understand what the objection is caused by. As Graham says, you can set a default highlights only file at the palette level which I always do when I create a palette. I only see the highlight notes when I have deliberately changed to see them in my primary notes file for a project/resource or when I deliberately open the highlighting file to find a particular highlighting note. If I had thought I had to mix highlights and notes rather than that I could choose to mix them or if I had thought I had to make a storage choice for each highlight, I would also call it a horrible interface. Luckily, I don't need to do either.
I'm still getting my head around how WG set Notes up to require so much checking/unchecking assuming that he knows:
