Settings

• Force to show notes: Automatically flag journal notes to show on the map without having to have your players turn it on themselves.

• Preview Maximum Length: TEXT PREVIEW ONLY How many characters should the text preview show?

• Preview Delay: How long before preview appears (in milliseconds)

• Default Journal Entry Permission: The default permission journal entries will be created with

• Default Journal Entry Folder: The default folder journal entries will be created in when creating Map Pins with a double-click

• Show by default the icon image of the journal on the map note: If a image is set on the journal by default is the first image set from Pin Cushion

• Enable Player-Only Icons by default: Newly created notes will have player-only icons enabled automatically.

• Default Note Icon for Players: The default icon used for player-only icons

• GM Label: Add the ability for Note tooltips to be configured so that GMs see different text to Players. So secret information can be displayed to GMs whilst players see the 'public' information about the Note.

• Enable revealed state on scene Notes: When enabled, then the 'revealed' state will be used to determine if the Note is visible to players. (The default Foundry VTT behavior is for Notes to be visible to players only if the linked document is accessible by the player.)

• [Only if setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes.' is enabled] Set the tint color of the Note revealed state on scene Notes: Is an option to set the tint color of the Note icon to indicate if the linked document is reachable or not (if the Note has no linked document, then it will always be displayed in the 'unreachable' tint).

• [Only if setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes.' is enabled] Note Tint Color when linked: For PLAYERs, the RGB value to be used to tint scene Notes if they have a reachable link (if left blank then the tint, if any, will remain unchanged). For GMs, this is the initial Icon Tint set during import.

• [Only if setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes.' is enabled] Note Tint Color when not linked: For PLAYERs, the RGB value to be used to tint scene Notes if they do not have a reachable link (if left blank then the tint, if any, will remain unchanged). For GMs, this is the initial Icon Tint set during import.

• Select Specific Folder: Make sense only with the module setting 'Default Journal Entry Folder' set with value 'Specific folder'

• Enable feature Backgroundless Pins: If enabled this setting will let you with a additional checkbox 'Has Backgorund ?' on the note configuration panel remove or not the background box from map notes. WARNING: If you disable this module setting you simply have all your notes with background (the standard way), but the flags on the notes are not delete, so you can re-enable this when you want. YOU NEED TO REFRESH THE PAGE FOR APPLY THE SETTING.

• Enable Sidebar Journal Images for GM Users:

• Enable Sidebar Journal Images for Player Users:

• [Only if setting 'Enable Sidebar Journal Images for GM Users' or 'Enable Sidebar Journal Images for Player Users' is enabled] Thumbnail Position: Whether the thumbnail is left of the journal entry title or right.

• Use mouse position for show the tooltip: When you hover a note on the canvas the tooltip is build based on the current mouse position instead the journal icon position. This solution seem to be more dynamic.

Features

This module add many new settings for many use case on the Note config dialog, here some of the most interesting, but there is more:

• Create Pin on canvas with double click

• Customized note configuration

• Journal preview on the sidebar

• Changes the dropdown of map pin icons into a filepicker so users can select any icons they like
• Adds the ability to double-click the canvas while on the Notes Layer and create a map pin (and corresponding Journal Entry)
• Adds a preview of the associated Journal Entry when you hover over a map pin
• Removes the background box from map notes

• Add the possibility to add a thumbnail preview of the journal

• [Only with setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes' enabled] Add an option to have a 'revealed' state on scene Notes: When enabled, then the 'revealed' state will be used to determine if the Note is visible to players. (The default Foundry VTT behaviour is for Notes to be visible to players only if the linked document is accessible by the player.)

• [Only with setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes' enabled] Add an option to set the tint colour of the Note: Icon to indicate if the linked document is reachable or not (if the Note has no linked document, then it will always be displayed in the "unreachable" tint).

• [Only with setting 'Enable revealed state on scene Notes' enabled] Provide tint colours to allow GMs to see if notes have been revealed to players. Setting the tint to a blank string will remove this tinting.

• Add an option to hide the label text: It will hide the label text when you hover on the note, it useful for avoid the "double" test given from the 'label' and 'title' attributes.

• Add an option to always show the label text: The label of the note is always visible without the need to go to hover the note useful for note on a map or any use case.

• Add an option to do not show Journal Preview: Do not show the journal preview to the player can be useful in some case.

• Add an option for setup the tooltip placement (default: 'e') Placement location of the tooltip relative to the element it is open for. Values can be n, e, s, w, nw, ne, sw, se, nw-alt, ne-alt, sw-alt, or se-alt (as in north, east, south, and west). This only matters if followMouse is set to false.

• Add an option for setup the tooltip stylish color

• Add an option for setup the tooltip smartplacement behaviour: (default: false) When enabled the plugin will try to keep tips inside the browser viewport. If a tooltip would extend outside of the viewport then its placement will be changed to an orientation that would be entirely within the current viewport.

• Add an option for setup the pin is transparent ? behaviour: Now with a simple checkbox on the note configuration it is possible to make the icon transparent without wasting time looking for the transparent image file. Very useful for people who use maps with icons printed on the map and just want to show the tooltip when the cursor is over that image and it saves me a lot of time. NOTE: This configuration is applied only to the icon image of the note , not the image tooltip.

• Add an option for setup the Show only to GM ? behaviour: Quite simply regardless of the associated permissions it shows the note only to the gm, it is very useful when used with this other module Automatic Journal Icon Numbers to prepare notes for the GM or random encounter with the Ironmonk modules, personally it saves me a lot of time in not continuously setting the permissions on the associated journal.

• Enable drag note on token layer if GM: Enable drag note on token layer if GM

• Enable autoscale for nameplates of the note on the canvas: Enable autoscale for nameplates of the note on the canvas",

• Default image icon for on creation of a note Set the path to a image to use as default icon during the creation of the note on the canvas.

• Shows Pages in the journal directory: Adds expandable elements to the journals in their directory to show the journal's pages
