About notecards

As is indicated in the bookends guide (pag 89), when we move the mouse over each notecard with the Option key held down, notecard is displayed entirety.
Although, I miss three more features/options:
a) Show bigger displayed text size
b) Possiblity to modify (select, copy, write, delete) entirety or part of notecard displayed from the same emergent window
c) Increase de live time of emergent window notecard
Moreover, is impossible to edit notecards as a result of live search by notecards (at least in my case)

Thank you.

Hello!

I have a question concerning Notecards, so I am writing here, although one has not yet responded to pepemac's questions.
I understood that there are two kinds of notecards, the ones belonging to the pdf, and the ones belonging to Bookends. The last ones show the page in the pdf where the note is found at the beginning of the notecards (let's say @5), precisely because clicking on them does not take one to the page where the note has been made (unlike the notes made directly in the pdf). Is there an option to jump directly to a specific page in the pdf from the Bookends app? I can do this in any pdf reader (there is an option called "go to page..."), but I cannot find one in Bookends.

Thank you!

Please start another thread with your question. One of the uses of the forum is for users to find answers to their questions. They won't find it to yours if it's buried in an unrelated thread.

Please read the User Guide on the use of live search of notecards. It tells you that you can't move or edit notecards found with this search.

As for the pop-up display of the notes, that's simply for quickly seeing what's in a long note (like Quick View in the Finder), it is not a mechanism for editing (double click on the notecard for that). The length of time it is displayed is controlled by OS X, not Bookends.
