Note Inspector (c) 2000 Jack Verstappen
This add-in makes notes within a Model more useful. The idea is that you can classify notes using SGML notation. The tag name indicates the type of note, and can have the parameters, owner, priority, subject. The note inspector list all notes found, you can set a filter on all parameters, and the tag.
An example of the content of a note:
<todo priority=high owner=me subject=redesign>
Here goes the text to explain in more detail what this 'todo' is about....
It contains several lines and is ended via the end-tag
</todo>
Installation
- Download the ZIP file.
- Create a subdirectory in the Rose home directory.
- Extract the ZIP file in that subdirectory.
- Use "regsvr32.exe" to register "NoteInspector.dll",
e.g. "regsvr32 c:\rose\noteinspector\noteinspector.dll"
- Edit the "NoteInspector.reg" file,
set "InstallDir" to point at the newly created subdirectory
- Double click the "NoteInspector.reg"
Usage
- CTRL + SHIFT + N shows an editor for the currently selected Note, if no
Note has been selected the editor will not show up. The editor helps in
writing correct SGML content as in the example above. SGML: The TAG
indicates the type (or Category) and the 3 parameters are optional, they
are: 1 - "Priority" - can be either "Low",
"Medium" or "High", each displayed with a different icon
in NoteInspector (see CTRL+SHOFT+I). 2 - "Owner" - is a string, if
it contains a space, the entire string should be delimited by double quotes.
3 - "Subject" - is a string to describe the content.
- CTRL + SHIFT + I shows the Note Inspector itself. The NoteInspector has a
set of filters that can be changed and stored in the registry. For each of
the parameters in the Note editor it is possible to set a filter. After a
refresh it will apply these filters to all Notes in the model and then it
lists the remaining Notes. A hotkey can be assigned to each set of filters,
pressing the hotkey will activate that set of filters.
