Where is the menu: "Tools/Search Notepad"?

[mother10]

Hi all,

In the documentation (French and English) I see the menu item "Tools/Search Notepad" and "Bloc-notes de recherche".

But its not in the Ancestris menus itself.
It says with this you can create Notes, independant of a GEDCOM. The page to describe this is present in the docs.
https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-guide/page/search-notepad
https://docs.ancestris.org/books/mode-demploi/page/bloc-notes-de-recherche


Point 1:
Why does it CREATE, while the menu says SEARCH?

Point 2:
Where is that menu in the current Ancestris?
Cannot find it in the French nor in the English Ancestris.

Seems a handy feature.
Although I would very much like general notes in a GEDCOM too, not just outside a GEDCOM.

Look at the available plugins.
And install the notepad.

The goal of this feature is to bas used as a notepad for any purpose you have to take a note not linked directly to an entity nor a GEDCOM file.

Ok installed the module and things work.
But I still wonder why there is no message saying a new module was created and avaialble for download.

Updates give a little sign in the bottom right corner so you are aware of new updates.
Why not something for new modules too?

Further, looking at the way we can add repositories from the list we get from the menuaction "File/Open Repositories", I also wonder why these new Notes were not done the same way.

So,

Have a "GEDCOM" consisting of a HEAD, a dummy INDI, and a long list of independant NOTE entities, without any connection.
That way it would have been possible to do all actions with these new NOTEs that we want, as the code for that is already in Ancestris.

We could have EDIT, OPEN, SAVE, Copy - Paste, Drag-Drop, Print, anything, without writing any line of extra code. We could have edited them like we edit Notes now.
The name of that GEDCOM could be NONE, for Notes that are general, and for common notes for any other GEDCOM file it could be that GEDCOM files name, followed by _Note or something.

That way these new Notes would follow the same rules as the ones we have now. Would there ever chnage anything in the "Normal" Note entities, those changes would automatically be valid for these notes too.

Well just wondering ........

We have no control on this.
This is the way Netbeans manage the update.

For the rest, you can use it or not like all others modules.
