Create Your Own Categories
Of course you can create your own categories, too. Add categories to the Other group (which you
can rename, by the way). Or create an entirely new group, for categories you'll be using in a
template or just for your own personal organization. You can even add your own category icons.
1
Open the NoteTaker Tools panel to the Categories tab (choose Tools > Categories).
2
To create a new group of categories, click the Group button and type a label for the
new group.
3
To add a category to a group, select the group, click the New button, and type a label
for the new category.
WHAT ELSE?
To have NoteTaker display an icon for a category you create, place an image file in the Finder, either in
/Library/Application Support/AquaMinds/NoteTaker/Icons/Categories (where the icon will appear
no matter who is logged in to your computer) or within the same path in your home directory (where the icon
appears only when you're logged in to your account). The image file should be 16 x 16 pixels or less in size,
in any standard graphic format, and named exactly the same as the category, plus the file-name extension.
The image file for a "Value" category, for example, can be named Value.gif, Value.jpg, or so on. If you're
planning on publishing the notebook as a Web Notebook
, use .gif or .png formats for the best results.
If you use categories a lot, put the Tools icon on your toolbar. See "Build Your Own Toolbar" on page 132.
To assign categories to entries and otherwise take advantage of them, see "Categorize Entries for Quick
Retrieval" on page 66.
