Rich Text and Images

Formatting

The note editor is a standard WPF RichTextBox with a TX1-themed toolbar. Supported formatting:

Element	How
Paragraph headings	Style dropdown (H1–H3).
Bold / Italic / Underline	`Ctrl+B/I/U` or toolbar.
Strikethrough	Toolbar.
Bulleted / numbered lists	Toolbar or `Ctrl+Shift+L / N`.
Indent / outdent	`Tab` / `Shift+Tab` inside a list.
Text colour	Toolbar colour picker.
Highlight	Toolbar highlight picker.
Hyperlinks	`Ctrl+K` or toolbar.
Tables	Toolbar insert-table dialog.

Images

Inserting

Method	What happens
Drag file	PNG / JPG accepted; embedded in the note.
Paste from clipboard	Screenshots or copied images.
Toolbar insert image	File picker.

Each image is stored as a ProjectNoteImage row with the binary payload and a reference from the note's XAML content.

Resizing

Click an image to select it, then drag the corner handles. TX1 stores the display width/height separately from the source file, so resizing doesn't re-encode the image.

Caption

Right-click an image → Add Caption. The caption is stored in the XAML directly below the image.

Managing Images

The right-hand pane lists every image in the note. Click to jump to it in the body. Delete an image to remove it from both the body and the stored row.

Performance Notes

Large images (> 2 MB) are automatically resampled on paste — full source is kept in the database; the body renders a scaled thumbnail.
Notes with 100+ images open more slowly; consider splitting into multiple notes.

Copy-Paste Between Notes

Rich text copies with formatting preserved.
Images included.
Cross-project copy works — an image pasted into a different project creates a fresh ProjectNoteImage record owned by the new project.

Exporting Images

JSON / .tx1 export preserves images.
Excel export strips them (text only).
PDF report export renders notes as images on the page.

Accessibility

Alt text on images is optional. Add via Right-click image → Alt Text to support screen readers and to have meaningful labels in exported PDFs.
