[Announce] Quicknote
 

For those of us shunning fancy note taking apps for the Palm like simplicity of something like QuickNote, I got permission to add some features and make some releases. So please blame me and not the author if something has broken recently :D

Features

• Interface zooming
• Word wrap
• Persisting of the above settings.
• Moved things around to try and be a bit more finger friendly

I just promoted 0.7.8-7 to Diablo Extras and Fremantle Extras-testing

If you have an n900, please vote on it.

Re: Quicknote
 

Seems to work very well on Diablo. More finger friendly and the zoom works well.
One 'request': Would it be possible to have the date-stamp format pull from your tablet settings?
I'm getting European date-format and 24hr time.

Also: Maybe an icon update? :D

Fantastic little note taking application btw.

Re: Quicknote
 

Yeah, I'd love to have an icon update, I'm just not an artist.

And feel free to file a bug report on the file-format issue.

Re: Quicknote
 

How does one get Spell Checking to work? I installed 0.7.8-7.

Re: Quicknote
 

I hope this means you're also willing to take credit. Thanks! Adding word-wrap was by itself sufficient to make an unusable app into a worthwhile one.

A couple suggestions ...

Highlighting searched-for character-strings in the results would be very helpful.

I'd eliminate "New Note" in the left pane since the Add button takes care of its function.

Re: Quicknote
 

Is there a way to create and assign a Category? Or is the category-selection tool at this point a throwback from the future, a tool for selecting an element of the program that hasn't been developed yet?

Re: Quicknote
 

Spell checking is actually only for desktop Linux. Its not available for Maemo. I filed a bug to clarify documentation.

Please file enhancement requests on these. Yeah, I know, I filed something for someone else just above, but I try and avoid that.

Its annoying to get to work but if you edit the category name and then create a note it will keep that as a category. Feel free to file a bug on improving this.

Re: Quicknote
 

Help..

I'm using 0.7.8 and today when opening up quicknote all my notes are gone. I used the previous version quite a bit and even a few notes in the new version and never had a problem with the old version...now there are no notes.

I've had some re-boots but no re-flash.

Any way to get my notes back - and if there is anything in this new version that makes it unstable, is there any way to get the old version?

Re: Quicknote
 

Sorry, can't help you there Tintin. Would anyone here know whether it's possible to assign multiple categories to one note?
