Notes vs. S-Pad
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2023 5:07 pm
I'm running BA 5.5 on Ubuntu 22.04. I absolutely love the program and have bought several modules to go with it.
I am having trouble getting Notes to accept format changes (like different font, larger size, etc.). When I attempt it, Notes changes a normal text paragraph into bullets. Very weird. I seem to have better luck with formatting using S-Pad. What are the differences between the two as a practical matter? Can I link S-Pad entries to a particular verse, for example?
Question: I know you've had difficulties with Linux playing well with the text editing tools you provide. Since Linux is open source, could you somehow make a coding call to a program like Cherrytree, Simplenote, or similar to open within the "Notes" window of BA?
Thanks for all you do and for sticking with us users who like to avoid the Microsoft and Apple ecosystems!

EDITED TO ADD: Well, I wrote too soon. Now S-Pad turns a paragraph into bullets if I change the font.
