Title: Including a text file in an IMatch database
Post by: petej on March 24, 2019, 04:04:40 PM
Is there a way to create a text file that can be easily accessed and written to from within an IMatch image database?  I would like to maintain a document within the database where I can add notes regarding my use of IMatch.  This would be for general information (i.e., comments re use of features, assignment of colors, flags, etc.) and NOT information associated with specific image files. 

Would appreciate help on this.  Have looked in "Help" and forum search but cannot find answers.  Thanks.

Just create a .txt file in one of your folders. When you select it, the Quick View panel will display the contents. When you hit Ctrl+Enter, it will open in Windows Notepad for editing.

You will also be interested in this thread (https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=8855.0) which covers the "My Notes" app, which will be included in IMatch 2020.
