This Tinderbox meetup covered a range of topics, starting with an exploration of the differences between stamps and quick stamps in Tinderbox, including practical demonstrations of how to use each. The group also discussed and demonstrated methods for highlighting and aggregating important text within notes, including using action code to collect highlights from child notes into a parent note. The latter part of the meeting introduced the basics of Git for revision control, with a focus on its potential use for managing versions of Tinderbox documents.
Key Discussion:
- Understanding Stamps vs. Quick Stamps: Stamps allow users to apply action code (single or multiple actions) to notes, while quick stamps provide a fast way to change the value of an attribute for one or more notes without saving the action for future use.
- Efficient Attribute Management: Quick stamps are ideal for making one-time changes to attributes across multiple notes, reducing the accumulation of unnecessary single-use stamps.
- Aggregating Highlights: Action code can be used to collect highlighted text from child notes and aggregate it into a parent note, streamlining the process of summarizing key points from large sets of notes.
- Keyboard Shortcuts for Highlighting: Built-in shortcuts (e.g., Command-Shift-Y) can be used to quickly highlight text in Tinderbox, improving note-taking efficiency.
- Introduction to Git for Revision Control: Git can be used to manage versions of Tinderbox files, allowing users to commit changes and revert to previous versions, which is more robust than Tinderbox’s built-in revert function.
