Post Notes move with fixtures in layout
The option (or default) to have notes move when you select all /or draw a selection around a group of fixtures and notes in the fixture chooser and re-arrange or drag it around.

Frustrating when you need to reposition a section of your layout to a different part on the screen and then you have to move all the notes seperately afterwards.

Good point, but you can move the notes in the same step by selecting all the fixtures and then tapping on the notes you also want to move and then moving. That is also the same for moving a group icon.

Yeh I know about that one, but if it have lots of notes for a lot of groups it can be annoying.

I hate the way the notes work. Super un-user friendly. How about a whole revamp of the notes section.

What else can you suggest? My other big one is clicking them to move / select them in the first place. I find if you don't click on the right spot of the note it doesn't select.

I would change the formatting of the text, you cant hit enter and get a second line.
It takes about 5 clicks in just the right place to edit the text.

The option to have text only would be awesome, no bubble just a formattatable text box. So you could have white text on a black background.

Maybe do it like naming a fixture so you have to right-click rename, that way when you click the note you know its only going to select it for moving, not jump into editing the txt.

If you select a fixture before creating a note > The note will be linked to the fixture and move with it.

Is it that you want ? ...
