I hadn't yet tried to 'feed' data into a Post-it(TM). Good to know. 'write to file' would be handy until the pull-down menu options are evolved. It would definitely save some time.
I would guess that most conventional users (like myself) will be transfering data to Excel or a text file via some delimited type file format. I am also now just realizing that if you have x,y,z, point data you could copy and paste each coordinate into an x, y and z Post-it and create all the custom GH points you want. Wouldn't this eliminate the need (for now) to import specific file types? You mentioned the Collection Manager of parameters will eventually be a means of organizing list data, but wouldn't the Post- it allow you to (theoretically) do this already? taz On Oct 2, 4:22 pm, David Rutten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the things which I think would be reasonably useful is to add > output capability to Post-It panels.
