ghsimon Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 would it be possible to comment on a pdn file using sticky notes as in adobe comments? could we add: - subject - comment - add a picture to this note (converted to low resoltion) to show what we are talking about in the comment - specify the color of th note - auto-popup note on hover why? i want to walk around on site - detect a problem - make a sticky note on the drawing for exact location of the issue - make the comment - import a picture from webcam that is glued to my tablet extra - export the sticky notes to a seperate file with an extra field action or status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 This one is interesting, but I don't think that it would be the most priority one... It would help a lot on explaining what we do to make the pics and to remember what we do Another idea would be to have an option to automatically add descriptions of the setting used on effects, and adjustments, and strings like 'rectangle drawn at whatever coordinates' Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 And what if these sticky notes could also serve as templates for the selection tool? You could save a location for running effects. IMO this would also be useful for PDN file sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is there a chance we could also attach some text to a document - to document it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wouldn't that be on the .pdn file? or is it something i'm not getting?...

Simon Brown Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wouldn't that be on the .pdn file? That is what I meant. IMHO this would be useful for PDN file sharing as each image could be documented about how they achieved the effect - not just small amounts of text on specific parts of the image - but also one piece of text to go with the image - intended to be much longer than one note.

Fisherman's Friend Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think Rick is focussing on PDN 4.0 and does not plan to include such rather advanced or even unique features at the moment. For this reason I would recommend that somebody just creates a new filetype plugin. I don't know if the "current" PDN file format is included in the source code, but it might be a good way to start. Then maybe it could be XML based, like the Office 07 file format or XPS, a kind of ZIP containing the image itself and other components like attachments. I'm a noop, and that are just ideas. But metadata would be no mistake, like licencse, copyright, author, version etc. Also, a special new file format would not show any previews in explorer. But a .PDNA format (Paint.NET Advanced file format) would be really nice. Additional features could include embedable ICC profiles to maintain colors on different systems (important for sharing) and maybe an enhanced compression. But now it really becomes Star Trek.

Simon Brown Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Except that AFAIK the API doesn't allow us to add our own information to an open document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelPereira Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 yep that the only bad thing, this one would be all up to Rick to decide Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
