Località/Oggetto properties

The Location/item properties view opens in the right pane when you select a location or an item in the tree.

Title and description

Screenshot

Title and description are displayed in an editable “index card”.

The editing of the title can be completed by pressing the Enter key. Changes to the description are applied when the mouse is clicked anywhere outside the text input field.

soprannome

This entry field is for alias names. Editing can be completed by pressing the Enter key.

Annotazioni

Tags are a very freely usable tool for labeling locations and items in the tree view. Tags do not have to be defined elsewhere, but simply entered in the input field separated by semicolons. Editing can be completed by pressing the Enter key.

Caution

If you want to use a tag more than once, make sure you use the same spelling in the different places.

Hint

The nv_zim plugin can adopt keywords when creating a new wiki page for the location or item. This provides a powerful navigation aid.

Collegamenti

Expand or collapse this frame by clicking on the label.

This is a list for image and research document links.

Although novelibre holds some character/location/item data, it is not the right application for extensive world building. For this, you may want to use more powerful software, like Zim Desktop Wiki. In this case, novelibre allows you to create links to the text files that will take you quickly to the right places in the wiki.

Or you have collected some images that could inspire you when writing. Then simply create links to these images to open them with your system’s standard image viewer.

Tip

If you have collected several images for a character in a folder that your standard image viewer can browse through, a single link to any image file is sufficient.

The links are displayed in a list in the order they are entered.

Aggiungi Link

When clicking on Aggiungi , a file selection dialog opens. The selected file will be added to the link list.

Hint

By default, the dialog shows image files. For other file types, change the selector in the lower right corner.

Rimuovi Link

When clicking on Rimuovi or pressing the Canc key, the selected link is removed from the list.

Aprire Link

When double-clicking on a link, or clicking on Vai a , the link is opened with the standard application for the link’s file type.

Hint

If you want to open certain linked files with another application than the standard application, you can provide a novelibre “launcher” setting. For this, just create a text file named launchers.ini in the .novx/config directory (where all configuration files are stored). Here you can assign applications to the file extensions.

Zim Desktop wiki pages are a special case. For this, the Zim program is assigned to the .zim extension.

This example shows a setting that makes novelibre open text files with the Zim Desktop Wiki application instead of the standard text editor:
[SETTINGS]
.zim = C:/Program Files (x86)/Zim Desktop Wiki/zim.exe 

“Sticky note”

The yellow text area is for notes. Changes are applied when the mouse is clicked anywhere outside the text input field.

When the “sticky note” of a plot point contains text, “N” is displayed in the tree view as a reminder. If the branch of a plot line with plot points containing notes is collapsed, the “N” is displayed in the plot line row.

Location view

Precedente lets you navigate to the previous location in the tree.
Prossimo lets you navigate to the next location in the tree.

Item view

Precedente lets you navigate to the previous item in the tree.
Prossimo lets you navigate to the next item in the tree.
