Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

Not yet. I'm currently wokring on version 0.5. Porting to Maemo 4 style declarations (which is a prerequisite for using transparency) is meanwhile finished. Though I still have to tackle the transparency thing itself. Progress is a bit slow as I currently have other priorities. Also I have to admit that I got distracted from the transparency stuff a bit, by trying to add some functionality for syncing with KDE's Knotes app. :)
Though around christmas I will have a two week vacation where I will hopefully find some time for adding transparency.

I will then also check about uploading to Extras, if the original yellownotes author permits.

Actually my version 0.3 did start based on the coding of fiferboy's version 0.2. So whatever he has changed to the original version should also be available in 0.4.

Great, can't wait to see this app getting an update

Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

PLEASE put this into Extras :)

This app for maemo 5?? It's very useful and awesome. I want it on my n900:)

[ N810, OS 43-7 ]

Just upgraded my yellownotes to 0.4.

Great improvement !
The switching edit/locked icon makes it much easier to see which mode is set.
The erase icon is good to have when you use multiple notes.

Tap+drag to select works sometimes, with the applet movable it probably shouldn't be expected to.
Of course, tap+shift-tap works nicely.

I suppose the behaviour of the scroll bar is also related to non-fixed applets.
But there is on my tablet about half a seconds delay before it turns blue, and again before it moves after being released. Normal?

( In Tear holding down the menu key makes tap+drag do selection. Is this a possibility, perhaps also for the scroll bar?)

Is there a special reason why you prefer to erase content but not the note file?
Checking how many "live" notes you have would be easier if also the file were erased. (You just open the directory with the notes.)

Or, perhaps the up/down arrows could change colour when no further "live" notes with higher/lower numbers exist ?

Perhaps in some future notes can be named ??

Just can't wait for the possibility to draw!


This is a great app!
Now I also use it instead of conboy or leafpad for editing short texts to be pasted, like posts.

Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

Is anyone picking up development of this extremely useful application for Diablo/Maemo4?

The possibility for;
a) drawing,
b) transparency settings, and/or
c) a better scroll up/down functionality would be wonderful.

Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

I second that. I just happened on this great little app a day or two ago. Have been wishing for a while I had some way to jot down stuff while I'm on the handheld, without having to resort to pen & paper, or open up Xournal, and drawing the list and saving the drawing, and making it my background (tedious, that, ey).

Truly one of the handiest little apps there is. Much thanks to all hands involved.

Hi

This is Gabriel Nava, original developer of Yellow Notes.

Today I've published Fremantle port for this home applet, based on iskarion's 0.4 version. This Fremantle version still requires a lot of work to be more finger friendly and improve usability. This is just the initial port having the same look and feel as the Bora/Diablo/Chinook version.

I hope you like and use it. Feedback is appreciated. Many thanks to fiferboy and iskarion for their work porting and keeping YellowNotes available for Diablo/Chinook users.

You can go to Garage and pick 0.4.1 Fremantle package:

Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

Hi gabrielnava. thanks for the application. I installed it but having difficulty using the delete icon. I do get "Erase note content?" with "Yes" or "No" but when I press either buttons nothing happen and its freeze so I have to reboot the device.
Can u help please.

Re: Bounty: Yellownotes Home Applet
 

Hi malfares

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm able to reproduce this behavior related to the 'erase note content' dialog. Device is not being frozen. If you keep hitting 'yes' or 'no' at some moment control goes back to desktop. Also, if you drag your desktop to the left or right, you'll be able to switch to next/previous desktop and you'll recover full functionality until you return to the instance running YellowNotes. Anyway, this is not desired behavior and will fix it.

Another known issue is that you cannot downsize the note using configuration dialog until you remove/re add widget to your desktop (make it larger works fine). This is already fixed and next version will be published soon. I hope it'll include both fixes.

Thank you for using YellowNotes and making this report.
