![]() These support actions such as finding a note in, parents, children and siblings of notes, and finding named attributes. Tinderbox 8’s AppleScript Dictionary contains a full Standard Suite, and custom nouns to give access to its documents, notes, agents, adornments, selections, and attributes. For anyone developing linked narrative, like Mark Bernstein’s hypertext novel Those Trojan Girls (highly recommended, and available from Eastgate), this looks like a godsend. This monster is one of Mark Anderson’s Tinderbox Reference Files in its full glory. It really comes into its own, though, as documents and their linkage become more complex. These are projected onto a hyperbolic plane, which you can navigate easily with gestures.įor my modestly-linked documents, Hyperbolic View gives clarity to link structure which I already see becoming invaluable. This process of tracing the link network then extends outwards to show all notes which are indirectly linked to the focus. Starting from any selected ‘focus’ note, the app identifies those other notes which are linked to and from it. Hyperbolic Views are designed for use with linked notes, one of Tinderbox’s most powerful features which lends itself to brainstorming and structured design. Alignment is better, and there are some neat improvements for notes containing images for example, notes that start with images now have those shown on the face of the note automatically, which for my art projects is ideal. Version 8 has a lot of layout improvements, and feels a great deal sleeker. In Tinderbox 7, this did creak occasionally, although never enough to annoy. Like most users, I suspect, I tend to work in Map View much of the time. However, I’ve already noticed how much nimbler Map Views are, and will show a couple of examples of the new Hyperbolic View to show the most obvious reasons for upgrading. I haven’t had this new version long, so exploring most of those and the more than dozens of other significant improvements will come over the next few weeks.
