Image editing and creation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After editing (and saving) an image I find I need to change the KeepNote
display away from the current page and back to show the changes.  A
"refresh" function would be helpful here.

I'm finding creation of images on the fly (a frequent operation for my
intended use) rather clumsy.  It seems to require finding and inserting a
pre-existing image file, toggling the display away and back to the current
page (so the view refers to the notebook copy of the file), then editing
the image.  It would be nice if there were an insert option that basically
did all that.

And while I'm grousing:  could there be some way of changing the default
action of double-click-on-image from View to Edit?

(Sorry.  I've looked at this application several times because it strikes
me as potentially quite useful, but each time have decided the image
creation and display issues were showstoppers.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Most recently, KeepNote 0.5.1 on Windows XP

Thanks for this feedback.  These are interesting features.  Would you like a 
"Insert
New Image" option?  Choosing that option would open a dialog that asks for a 
width
and height of the new image and then inserts a blank image of that size.

As a hack for making new images easier (until its directly supported) you could 
use
Ctrl+insert to make screenshot of the desired size (by dragging a box of the 
size you
want).  Then when you edit the new image, you just have to clear it first.

Yes - an "Insert New Image" function would be great!  The WxH dialog box would 
be a
nice-to-have, although not actually necessary (assuming sensible defaults and an
image editor that permits resizing).

Thanks for the suggested workaround - it's still a hack, but much easier than my
current process.

It would also be really really great if KeepNote would display images that are 
attached to notes in the display pane when they're selected. There are plenty 
of situations where you do this (namely if you bulk attach a bunch of files), 
and it's really inconvenient to go through them manually AND the means by which 
KeepNote attaches them breaks the easy scroll functions of the various built in 
OS viewers.

Hi there
I wanna use keepnote as a kind of labbook (I'll open a topic about that soon).
I reasonably think that this soft could be the one.

concerning images, for ex. I use ksnapshot (rather the gnome version). The 
preview can be directly dragged/dropped within keepnote. Still, if you try with 
nautilus, the link appears instead. OK, there is an "image mode" feature that 
would be great, like you get in vim (edit mode, visu mode ...). A direct grab 
from nautilus would be so great. A multi-one would be awsome!

I'm not really convinced about 3 button-clics to perform a "manual" image 
insertion though, prefer the quickest way.

btw, image manipulation is a bit buggy.

Thanks a lot guys for the program! cheers
