Hey — I just looked over the To Do List and I feel very, very guilty about suggesting this since you have so much to do.... but I was wondering if it were possible to have a notes section for imported pictures? I import a lot of pictures to represent characters or places, and it would be nice to make notes in the margin about why I picked the picture or how it relates to the book.
Again, sorry to throw something out there when you have more than enough on your plate....

I have solved this need by writing notes under the picture itself. I open a new document, import the picture(s), then add a note under it. It works for me.

This has been discussed before - the reason I won't be adding support for notes for pictures or any other document type than text (and groups in the next beta) is that it defeats the purpose. Pictures, web documents etc are meant to be reference documents. So you look at them whilst working on the main document (eg. in Compose mode). But in Compose mode, you can only look at the notes of the document on which you are working (anything else would get too cluttered), so you wouldn't be able to see the notes whilst working on another document anyway. The idea is that if you want to take copious notes on a picture, you do it in a separate text document.
That said, if you just want to add a short note on why you added the picture, you can from the next beta. In 0.20b, *every* document has a synopsis index card visible in Binder, Compose and Storyboard modes etc, not just text documents. So you can add the note you want there. You can also add tags, labels etc to pictures and other documents much more easily in the next (delayed) beta. Hopefully that will do what you want.
All the best,
Keith
