problems with stoplist - newbieby dottor zivago - 09:11AM, Nov 15, 2003 |

Hi to the list and congratulations to Circusponies for this beautiful software;
tried, registered and using notebook with great satisfaction. Two questions: - I don't understand how the stoplist works: I create a notebook, a new cell on a new page and I write in the cell some words contained in the file stoplist (such as "and", "but", etc...); why do I find this words in the index? - is it possible (or would it be possible in a new upgrade) to select a word in a cell and using a contextual menu putting it in the stoplist to prevent automatic indexing of common words? I think this would be a nice feature expecially for non English users of Notebook. Thank you and pity for my English!!! Ciao from Italy :-) Ubaldo |

Your English is great! I see what you mean about stoplist words appearing in the index - that is a gigantic bug! For some reason the stoplist isn't working. I will have to check into that. It would be nice to be able to customize the stoplist. A good feature for a future release.

A way to actively banish words from the index would be a huge help. My indexes are getting huge and are filling with DNA sequences and chemical names and other technical words that are too generic to be actually useful for looking things up. If there was a way to go through the indexes with a "click to banish from indexes" command it would make the indexes vastly more user friendly. Also it would be helpful to be able to turn off an index. I have large amounts of numerical data in my notebook and the Numbers index is kind of humorous. But I also think that it is going to bloat the size of the Notebook. I can easily have 300+ unique numbers on a page. Things like 0.2376 and 134.764 don't get repeated very often and the index could theoretically grow toward infinity. Linking to infinite numbers is going to get kind of cumbersome.

I'll see what I can do about adding some index management features. But I don't think you have to worry about the numbers index growing huge - the index files are pretty compact.
