Shapes vs Attachmentsby Khadrelt - 02:42AM, Jan 05, 2009 |

First of all, I’d just like to say that this program is awesome. It’s nearly perfect for what I need. In fact, I have only one real complaint, and that’s the program’s treatment of shapes in a web-page export. It seems to me that shapes really get the shaft sometimes. If you add a picture as an attachment, it’s easy to make that picture clickable to open the full-sized picture in the web export. However, there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that if the picture is added as a shape rather than an attachment. Now, I could just add all pictures as attachments, but there’s a big downside to this—you can’t position attachments freely anywhere on the page like you can shapes. Attachments are locked in the outline and the positioning options are severely limited. Along the same lines, why can’t you anti-alias shapes like you can attachments? Or give them picture edges or corners? Or just make it so attachments can be freely positioned like shapes can be? |

Hi Khadrelt, Save the image you want to put on a page ontp your desktop then drag it onto the page. Hold down shift while dropping onto the page and it’ll be added much like a shape. i.e. you can reposition and resize it much more easily. Also, it won’t move when you resize the NOteBook window like the text and normal images do. To clip an image from another file of the web I like to use Command-Shift-4, then select an area of the screen. This takes a screenshot of an area and saves it as a file on the desktop. Then drag and drop as above. Cheers
