Read and export widgets

When the answer calls for it, Aureole doesn’t stop at text: a map, a chart, the weather or a card shows up in the conversation, as a widget. This guide shows how to read them, and how to turn them into an image or a PDF to reuse elsewhere.

In short
  • Under each widget, a row of buttons copies or saves it.
  • That row’s menu chooses the format (PNG, PDF or SVG) and the appearance, light or dark.
  • “Add to Library” keeps it, to find it outside the conversation.

A widget in the answer

A widget is part of the answer, drawn by Aureole from the data the model found: you read it like the rest.

An answer with a widget: the chart of GDP per capita for four countries, indexed to 100 in 2014, then the text that comments on it.

A link opens in your browser, an image in Aureole’s viewer.

Copy or save it

Under the widget, three small buttons, faint until you hover over them: copy the image, to paste it into an email or a document, save it, and “…”, whose menu has everything: “Copy Image”, “Save As…”, then:

  • “Drop on Desktop” saves the file to the Desktop, without asking anything;
  • “Format”: “PNG (2×)”, an image that stays sharp on a Retina display; “Vector PDF”, to print it or lay it out; “SVG”, to retouch it in a drawing app;
  • “Appearance”: “Light” or “Dark”, whatever your Mac’s is.
Under the chart, the “…” menu open: Export, Format (“PNG (2×)” checked), Appearance (“Light” checked), and “Add to Library”.
The widget’s export menu, enlarged: copy the image, save it, drop it on the Desktop; PNG (2×), vector PDF or SVG; light or dark; add it to the library.

The chosen format and appearance then apply to every widget, until you quit Aureole. At first: PNG, light.

Some widgets don’t exist as SVG, like geographic maps: the menu says so.

Keep it in the Library

“Add to Library”, in the same menu, files the widget in Aureole’s Library: you find it there, without reopening the conversation.

If you’re stuck

I don’t see the buttons under the widget

They’re faint: hover over the widget to see them. A news or file card has none: it isn’t an image.

SVG is greyed out

This widget can’t be drawn as SVG: choose PNG or PDF.

Exporting a geographic map fails

The map is drawn at export time: unlock your Mac, and try again.
