Comment pane?

Post by amer »

Hi, Congratulations on finally getting out the gold release. I love the ability to quickly hide all toolbars and drag out a tab to show it in a separate window. I can not wait to see some nice plug-ins to make editor even more useful when working with Evernote and other services.

Glad to see that the highlighting feature is finally implemented, but the comments options should bot be buried in a right-click menu when a block of text is selected. I am sure the highlight text feature is much more used feature than the read loud text feature, yet the former is buried in a menu.

Finally, am I doing something wrong or it is still not possible to show the comments pane?

Hello amer,

Thanks for your comments. For now the toolbars are not as fully customizable as the Viewer ones, so when a particular toolbar is longer (the one that includes e.g. the typewriter tool) - extra buttons in that toolbar are hidden in a drop down menu.

For the moment you can drag down the toolbar area - so that you can have all the tools visible in a narrower window. Please check the attached screenshot.

I also noticed that when you try to click the comments pane button - it hides all the toolbars - so this is something we will have to fix.

Best,
Stefan

Thanks for your reply. I am not able to turn on the comments pane. The option in View/Other Panes is grayed out and the shortcut Ctrl+M is not working. Please see the attached screen clip. How did you managed to turn on the comments pane?

Hi amer,

you are right that the comments pane is not yet available in the Editor. It's almost finished. I expect it should be in the next build.
