26.6. Loading and presenting annotations

The Tools/Annotations/Load command tells Amaya to load the annotations that are associated with the

URL of the current document. Amaya will query the annotation servers, using the settings from

Preferences/Annotations, and ask for any relevant annotation.

Annotations may also be loaded automatically whenever a new page is viewed by selecting the Autoload

remote annotations check box in Preferences/Annotations.

Querying an annotation server returns all the annotations that are associated with a document.

26.7. Annotations in the Links window

The link view of the annotated document shows all the annotations.

As with the document window, annotations are identified by a pencil icon. A single-click on the icon

selects the annotated text in the document window and a double-click opens the annotation.

26.8. Replying to annotations / discussion thread

Annotations can be seen as comments to web pages. The Tools/Annotations/Reply to annotation

command enhances the collaborative workspace by allowing users to reply to annotations or to other

replies.

The Reply to annotation command of the Tools/Annotations submenu lets you create a reply to an

existing annotation or to a reply. You can invoke this command from an open annotation or a reply

window.

As a result a new annotation document opens. The fields in a reply annotation can be edited just like in

any other annotation as explained under Creating an annotation.

When the reply is ready, you can post it to a server with the Tools/Annotations/Post to server command

or you can save it locally using the File/Save command. To delete a reply, you can use the Tools/

Annotations/Delete command.

Replies can also be annotated like any other document, as explained in Creating an annotation.

All replies related to an annotation are shown at the bottom of this annotation, in a thread section. Each

item in the thread gives the date of the reply, the author, and the title of the reply.

The content of any of these replies can be retrieved by double clicking the replies in the thread. The

selected reply is highlighted and presented in a reply tab. When another selection is made the same reply

tab is used.

26.8.1. Known issues: incomplete thread

There is no way to control which replies should be posted. In an ideal world, it should not be possible to

save a reply to a reply if the previous reply was not saved in the same server. Likewise, if you delete a

reply, you should delete all replies to this annotation. Not doing that leads to having fragments of threads

that cannot be correctly attached in the thread.

For example, let R1 be the reply to annotation A1 and R2 a reply to R1. If you post R1, and let R2 be

stored locally, then when you browse A1 and only download its local annotations, you will only see R2.

At this point, Amaya does not know that R1 exists, so it assumes that R2 has lost its parent. We identify

these "orphan" threads by putting a question mark symbol ? in front of them. If later one, Amaya finds

new thread items, for example, if you download R1, Amaya will then sort the thread view, inserting the

threads as appropriately. In our example, R2 will become a child of R1, as expected.
