@nixsee and @thiago: Does the vanishing only happen after changing colors on a highlight? Or just generally after adding a highlight. If the latter, I need some specific set fo steps to reproduce, as I cannot. The changing color causing notes to go missing bug will be fixed in the next release.
@nixsee: Highlights are stored in the book file already (if it is epub) so you can share them with other people by simply sending them the book.
If you want to streamline the experience, use the keyboard shortcuts. Steps are:
1) Select text
2) Press ctrl+h
3) click the pencil
4) Type your notes
5) press esc when you are done editing the notes
6) press enter to save the highlight
In the above, I can further streamline it by adding keyboard shortcuts to open the notes. So you dont have to click anything at all after the initial selection. Edit, now you can press the n key to start editing notes.
Types and user restrictions only make senses if you have bookmarks as wel as highlights and more than one user creating highlights (via the content server).
As for colors, I am open to better palettes,these are just initial placeholders I have cobbled together.
As for Esc, it is standard for closing dialogs. It clears search only in the main window, because its not a dialog and so esc is available there.
@thiago: Thanks for the sample file I will look into it. Can you give me a sample of the moving highlight as well?
