[Sigia-l] Graphical IA generation

[Chris Pallé]

Hey All-
Since the conversation shifted to OG, figured I'd throw a couple easter eggs
in since it's my fav tool for diagramming. :-)


   - Sitemaps can be created by dropping nested folders and files onto the
   OG icon.
   - Using PDF linkbacks (Edit > Copy As > PDF, Paste) makes resizing and
   editing a lot easier, but wait, don't do it to early in your process. If
   you're using shared layers (for navs or footers, etc.), then you'll lose the
   connection that layer. It's a reasonable trade-off for when you're wrapping
   up your deck, annotating, etc.
   - OmniOutliner (another, separate tool from OmniGroup) is an excellent
   list maker. Use these files to create maps as well.

Thanks for sharing all this info about AppleScripting. I haven't yet tapped
that.

HTH,
CP
