Hide Properties

[opentreeapi]

If I hide the properties they should stay hidden until I click show properties. I clicked the "Hide Properties" button. Then I clicked a node, and properties reappeared. Why? If I want to hide the properties, I want them hidden. I most certainly do not want to have to hide them every time I move through the tree. At

Good point! The current behavior was chosen to ensure that a new user (esp. in a narrow view like a tablet) would always see meaningful data, beyond just the tree structure. This has come at the expense of other users who want to move through the tree without the clutter. I'm sure we can make this persist, once the user has made a choice.

I've added this as an enhancement request in our bug tracking system, in case you want to track its progress:

Would be nice if "i" also displayed a brief definition or description of each node

That's a good idea, Alan. Especially for people who want to keep the properties pan hidden, having a small popup when you hover over a node with some basic info would be helpful.

Please make a way to download your entire database&site so I can make a home wiki if your page gets taken down. It should show like a MediaWiki or similar.

Related to that: OpenTreeOfLife/opentree#403 All the steps for setting up your own copy of the site are documented, and the data is all public. The problem is that the documentation is spread over several documents, and the procedure is bespoke (to put it mildly).
