Viewing an Attached File:

One of the features about Notes is the built in attachment viewers. After selecting an attachment either use the Notes menu option "Attachment - View", or right click on the attachment and select "View", or use the Properties Box and click the "View" button. Any of these methods will cause a new window to open displaying the attachment. This works for numerous file types including pictures, video, spreadsheets, presentation files, and even Zip files. In the screenshot below we have viewed a zip file, and Notes shows the files contained in the zip. When we select one of the files, its displayed at the bottom of the screen:



Now the goodness does not end there. In addition to viewing files, we can even select the file(s), right click and choose "Extract" and Notes will prompt you for the location where we wish to unzip the file to.

There's more. You can even magnify (25% to 400%) and rotate (in 90 degree increments) files that you are viewing. They save a lot of time vs. detaching files to desktop, opening them with another program, and then deleting them.
