Character operation

Aggiungi

Add a new character

With Personaggi > Aggiungi you can add a character to the tree.

If a character is selected, the new character is placed after the selected one.
Otherwise, the new character is placed at the last position.
The new character has an auto-generated title. You can change it in the right pane.
The status of newly created characters is minor.

Imposta stato

Set the character status

With Personaggi > Imposta stato, you can make the selected character major or minor. Major characters are highlighted in the tree view.

Note

The character status is only for visual distinction. It has no influence on the program functions. Nevertheless, you can use it to mark viewpoint characters or characters with their own arcs.

Importa

Import characters from another project

With Personaggi > Importa, you can import a selection of characters from another project. First you select an XML file containing the character data. Then you select the characters you want to add to the current project.

Hint

To create an XML character data file for the current project, use Esporta > Files dati XML.

Esporta la descrizione del personaggio per la modifica

Export an ODT document that can be imported again after editing

With Personaggi > Esporta la descrizione del personaggio per la modifica, you can create a text document that contains character descriptions, bio, goals, and notes that can be edited in Office Writer and reimported. File name suffix is _characters_tmp.

Esporta tabella personaggio

Export an ODS document that can be imported again after editing

With Personaggi > Esporta tabella personaggio, you can create a spreadsheet that contains a row per character. The document can be edited with Calc and reimported. File name suffix is _charlist_tmp.

Note

You can reorder, hide or delete columns and rows without affecting the reimport. Only the first column and the first row, which are hidden by default, must not be changed as they contain the structural information for the import.

Mostra tabella in HTML

Show an HTML report with characters data

With Personaggi > Mostra tabella in HTML, you can create a HTML file that contains a character table, and launch your system’s web browser for displaying it.

Note

The report is a temporary file, auto-deleted on program exit. If needed, you can have your web browser save or print it.
