I’m not sure if this is a weirdness of everyone’s favourite Tahoe or something that’s fallen between the spaces inbetween (I’ve seen some other odd copy-and-pasting issues related).
Is it possible to select multiple notes, and print them as a single document? When I pick print with the editor selected, it only offers a single note to print.
If it’s not a bug - it could be a very useful feature to add in future.
I think the Tahoe effect is primarily that it (the OS) broke some existing drag/drop import behaviours. Meanwhile…
I don’t recall printing, in the manner you describe being possible in the past. Currently, if you select Print (Cmd+P) whilst focus is in the view pane taboo will (for most views) print the contents of the view to all/some extent. If forces is in the Text pane’s Text tab, Print will print the contents of $Text. If Text’s Preview tab is selected, Print will print the current note as rendered but using its current export template assignments. Note that Preview is only available for a single selected note (as their export template assignments might differ within a selection)
However, when multiple notes are selected, the Text pane’s Text tab shows the concatenated $Text of the selected note. If, having created the selection in the View pane, you click into Text pane and then call print, the concatenated $Text(s) are printed , but without the source note separator rules, i.e. …
If you want more ‘chrome’ to the output (a general title, article dividers, etc.) the Tinderbox approach would be to set up export templates as you desire and then print the Preview tab contents.
So, not zero-configuration (as you might hope) but consistent with existing Tinderbox behaviour.
In writing the above notes, I wonder if this use context might be better surfaced—at leat in aTbRef. If you used aTbRef to check first, where in the corpus did you look and not find the help expected? It might help me figure where to add/refine description of this.
Thanks Mark - I think possibly I’m aspirationally misremembering. I begged for the multiple-note preview, and @eastgate delivered that feature, which I rely on constantly.
But I found myself for the first time assembling images and RTF-style documents in notes, and presuming that multiple-selection would work as how I’d assumed, which - on reflection - was not what Tinderbox is about.
I didn’t hunt this down in aTbRef Mark, I simply assumed that what was lodged in my head was the way it had always been - and my conflating that something I’d never done before was that same as something that hadn’t been disproved to work otherwise.
Okay, it’s good to understand my mispresumption at least! Thanks for bringing me down so H-fully
FWIW, as I don’t—by habit—use inline images in $Text, I just checked printing the Text pane with a multi note selection with inline images does include the images. The output print does include the images. Safer than guessing!
