VIRTUAL NOTEPAD

kathleenelizabethblakeslee1

Many people have a pad of paper out that they write information on as they do research. It would be lovely if there was a virtual notepad tool that you could have in the corner of your screen to write simple dates or names to remember as you go through your research.

A more advanced version of this tool would allow you to name and date your notes and be available for access the next time you log in.

What do you think?

May I recommend Notepad++?

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Just in passing ...

Interesting suggested enhancement ...

But ...

That Said ...

Further to; and, in support of, what 'Julia' has already proffered ...

[ Plus, to expand upon it ... ]

The use of, the likes of, "Note Pad"; OR, ANY "Text" Editor (for LONGER "Text"), is more than acceptable ...

'FamilySearch', DOES NOT (and, I might say, SHOULD NOT), need to provide such a "Virtual Notepad" feature.

There is NO need ...

As, there are already COUNTLESS, "Note Pad" Applications; and, "Text" Editors, available, for such purpose ...

I use them, each; and, everyday, in conjunction, with 'FamilySearch' ...

Plus ...

More IMPORTANTLY, the 'Time Out' (of x20 Minutes), of inactivity STILL applies.

So, such a "Virtual Notepad" feature, would STILL be subject to (and, constrained by), that 'Time Out'.

Whereas, the likes of, "Note Pad"; OR, ANY "Text" Editor, is/are NOT subject, to that 'Time Out'.

Please be, aware; and, advised, that ...

There are MANY "Priorities", in the "Family Tree" Part (and, the OTHER Parts) of 'FamilySearch'; and, there is LIMITED "Resources" (eg. "Funds") available to 'FamilySearch'.

"FamilySearch', was created; and, is maintained, by the Church ...

'FamilySearch', is FREE to ALL ...

'FamilySearch', is NOT, a "Commercial" Website (ie. NO, Payment; or, Subscription; or, Fee, is required) ...

So ...

That Said ...

Although, useful ...

I am sorry ...

I CANNOT support your suggested enhancement, of 'FamilySearch', creating (or, utilizing) a "Virtual Notepad".

[ ie. For use WITHIN 'FamilySearch' ... ]

Especially, at the expense, of ALL, the more IMPOTANT "Priorities" ...

Just my thoughts.

I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective
