It would be useful if, in the metadata for each item, there were an Tropy-internal identifier, so that I could use it in my manuscript as a bookmark and could call up that specific item in my Tropy project instead of having to search for the item.
Or does such a feature already exist and I have not found it?
You can copy an item’s link from the context menu:
This gives you a link like this:
tropy://project/current/items/279/280
This link includes two project-internal ids for the item and the photo. Clicking on the link on your computer should open the respective item in Tropy, but currently this only works with the current project. We’ll need to add configurable project ids to support URLs with references to specific projects.
Exactly what I need. Thank you. (And thank you for your customary, astonishing speed in responding.
One more follow-up question:
I am now using these links to items and photos, embedding them in word documents. Every time I click on such a link, MS Office warns me that the hyperlink (e.g. tropy://project/current/items/862/863) may be “dangerous”, with a message like this:
.I realize this question pertains to MS Office more than to Tropy, but do you have a solution to what is, to be sure, just an inconvenience, not a real problem?
From the point of view of MS Office these links are a legitimate concern, because clicking them will activate the application that is registered for the tropy:// URI scheme. I don’t use MS Office myself, but I would consult the settings or docs looking for trust settings: perhaps you can configure that you want to trust tropy:// links in order to skip the warning message.
