Load kindred Key Attribute sets with a click
BoxPress’s vast content enrichment and export powers demand lots of key attribute access. Putting them all on one pane would push the Text Area off your screen. The solution: collect them by similarity of function into small sets that you can invoke by running a stamp.
In Tinderbox, if you need to access an attribute that’s not listed in the current note’s Key Attributes Table, you have to select the note, hit ⌥⌘I, and search inside.
That’s a good way to get distracted and lose your writing momentum.
BoxPress solves this problem by collecting the most useful attributes into six Key Attribute Sets—Basic, Image, Date, Source, BKG, and Tech.
Different tasks call for different key attribute sets. When adding featured images or Imagemaps, you’ll want the IMG set; when working with dates, the DATE set; when styling the background, the BKG set. And when you’re in the zone, you may want to get rid of all of them.
BoxPress lets you invoke the desired key attribute set for all notes by simply running a stamp.
BoxPress accomplishes such global set-swapping by assigning the desired set to the normal_note prototype. The Key Attributes Table for all your content notes will be updated. (An exception to this are the 7 Research Prototypes, which have their own specialized cocktails of key attributes.)For a look at all the Key Attribute Sets, see here.
