I noticed something strange. If I create a note in the prototype folder I can associate a badge with it by clicking on the + in the right corner, as documented.
However if I create a note, change the shape to Tag, then there is no ‘+’ sign. Do I need to do something to make the + appear for this shape?
(The inspector shows all the badge options so my issue is with the UI in map view for this shape)
I’m working through Michael B excellent tutorials and noticed this. It seemed to have a + in his video for this shape.
ok I see the + if the arrow points to the left, but not if it points to the right. If I point the arrow to the left and associate the badge, it shows. If I then shift the arrow to point to the right, the badge no longer shows but remains in the appearance inspector. I think this is a map view display bug with this shape.
Yes the shape is clipping the badge. The note exists within the rectangular bounding box. So if you use a shape that mask out much of the rectangle, it sees logical the badge might get cropped. Expecting to see it would start from a different design: possible but I suspect not the one sued here.
It would be useful if you could email tinderbox@eastgate.com summarising this. MarkB is travelling at present but it would be useful to have summary when he gets back. An email is more helpful than tracking the issues across a thread here.
Over a year later..
I’m threading @Frederich Hirsch’s steps and following the tutorial too..
Using Tinderbox 11 version 11.6.0 (b779)
Behaviour is the same: $Badge shows the selected badge allright, but if the underlying shape is not present on th badge location, the badge will not show..
What is the status on this please?
Thx for helping out!
For clarity, you can’t see the ‘+’ for the badge-picker in a shaped note but if you click where it should be, the badge chooser UI pops up. Of course, that is of little use if you can’t see the badge you then set!
