I agree that linking notes to each other in this fashion may be useful - but Francois, wouldn't you be abusing Chandler a little bit if you used the hash codes as references in your paper notes? It breaks the paradigm of keeping all your notes in one place - hence introducing the possibility of losing notes, or getting confused between which version of a note is the more current one (shouldn't be a problem for the average human, except if you had a really large amount of notes - and except that it makes you inefficient, because you have to sit there and figure it out. This is why you have a note-taking system in the first place.)
Would it not be more useful and safe to have the option of printing out your items and just editing the printout by hand - then feed your edits into Chandler and discard the page, so the paper is strictly temporary? Or am I missing a use case? Regards, Johan > Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:20:58 -0500 > From: Jos Yule <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [chandler-users] Easy?
