Version Notes

Mike,
I'm hoping this already exists and I just haven't found it yet.
I'd like to be able to have a text file attached to a workspace or catalog file where I can remind myself of steps needed, start-up notes, other random thoughts. Basically my project(s) are too complex for me to remember what's needed next. Especially if I put down a sub-part for a few days.
Thanks
Roger

There is not any functionality like that, but you can always just create your own text file on disk in the same folder as your map catalog or workspace file so that you can read it if you forget what steps to follow.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I'd like to see a free form text box pop-up option with any file open command. At the bottom would be a check box, "Do Not Show This Again" for the multitude who would rather not.
The user could enter a text comment, say 500 characters max, to the box for whatever purpose.
This would be a nice v11 add.
Please.
What might be more acceptable is a right-click menu option in the Control Center to associate some text with a layer. That could then be saved to workspaces and displayed with the metadata for the file. Or you could maybe associate an HTML file with a layer and have that displayed.
Thanks,

Because I'll not touch GM for 3-mo stretches, I need a way to write a note to remind me of all the pieces and how they fit together. I would be perfectly happy to have GM open notepad. For a workspace notepad would be preferred, it'll run while GM loads. I have some 15-min loads. The only "must" is that GM would auto open a linked notepad file if I had chosen that option.
Thanks

By restricting this to workspace files it would be a bit less than I'd hoped for, I'd like the option for any GM file type. However, given the nature of the workspace file, I can see the advantage for your coding. If nothing else, a very good beginning.
Thanks for considering this.
I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper10.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v10.xx installation folder to give it a try.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,

Thanks Mike
Nicely implemented.
Is there a way to edit the file name and/or location? The continues to be a super tool for me.
Thanks
