Reading Notes Window: Suggestions

Post by **Cowhead** » Sat 04 Sep, 2004 7:34 pm

Hi Richard. There are a couple of modifications to the Reading Notes window that I would like to suggest.

1) Give the Reading Notes window a minimize button. Sometimes I want to restore an old reading and really spend some time looking at the cards. The reading notes window lets me bring the spread back, but it would be nice to be able to make the notes window go away without forcing the spread to be cleared. I know, I know... I can resize the window or drag it to the edge of the screen. A minimize button would be more straightforward, though. Or, give the option to *close* the notes window without clearing the spread.

2) Make it possible to restore a spread using the original deck and card size. I change decks and card sizes a lot, so when I restore a spread I usually have to re-choose the appropriate deck and resize the cards so they aren't tiny or overlapping. I guess one possible issue would be what to do when that information wasn't saved with the spread, or if the deck is no longer found. In that case, I would suggest just doing what happens now. i.e. use the current deck and card size.

Minor details, I suppose, but it's your attention to the details of useability that makes Orphalese Tarot such a joy to work with. Thanks again for a great program.

P.S. My apologies if the program can already do this stuff, and I just haven't figured it out!

Hi Cowhead,

First of all, many apologies for not replying sooner. Actually I thought I had, because I remember seeing your post and making a mental note to reply, but I obviously never got around to it. My only excuse (and it has been my excuse for everything recently) is that I have been very busy moving house and starting work in a new office, so unfortunately the OTZ project has been a bit overlooked.

Anyway, I am back now, and I should find plenty of time to look at issues with the OTZ as well as with the program itself, including the excellent suggestions in your post.

All the best,

Richard
