PNotes 3.0.104

#5 Post by lamer »

Hi!
New version of PNotes is available at:
http://pnotes.sourceforge.net/index.php
What's new:
* Simple edit box is replaced by rich edit - since now any portion of note's text can be formatted separately, applying font properties, highlighting and alignment
* Added hyperlinks recognition
* Added option for autosave mode - all notes will be autosaved in appointed interval
* Each note can now be saved by pressing Ctrl+S
* First characters of note are now used as default note's name instead of creation timestamp
* Added Drag-&-Drop support
* Added "Save All" command
* Because of rich edit format each note is stored as separate file, instead of previous versions, where all notes are saved in single notes.pndb file. Notes from previous versions can be imported by choosing "Preferences->Misc->Get notes from previous versions"
* Command line arguments are changed as well. In previous version swicth -config had two arguments: Notes.ini file location and optional Notes.pndb file location. In the currenct version -config still has two arguments, but the second optional arguments is now "data" directory location, and should not be a file name
* Bug fixed - notes are saved automatically on system shutdown (if option "Save all on shutdown" is selected)
* Skins from previous versions are incompatible with new one

Regards,
lamer

PNotes version 4.5

#9 Post by lamer »

PNotes has been updated to version 4.5

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pnotes ... _5_106.zip

# Favorites system - right click on note's non-client area and choose Add To Favorites (Remove From Favorites).
# Custom fonts - fonts should be in 'fonts' directory within the program directory. Then follow 'Preferences --> Appearance --> Use custom fonts'. Fonts are registered for private use of program and unregistered after the program exits.
# Sending note via e-mail as attachment. MS Outlook users - Outlook tries to treat .pnote files as simple RTF files and even changes their extension to .rtf while receiving - Wit Works Woe! Save the file as .pnote and continue to work with it.
# Loading note from .pnote file.
# Recycle Bin (like in Windows, if you hold left Shift while deleting, the note will be destroyed permanently). Emptying/restoring of Recycle Bin can be made via Control Panel.
# Instead of 'Show All', 'Hide All' there are now 'Show Groups', 'Hide Groups' menu items in the system tray popup menu, allow you to show/hide specified groups of notes (or show/hide all notes).
# Autosave operation will now include newly created notes as well.
# Prompt to load autosaved notes after program crash will now appear only if there is at least one autosaved note.
# New scheduler type - 'Weekly'. It allows selection of 1 - 7 weekdays and time. The program will alarm you each selected weekday at selected time.
# New scheduler type - 'After'. It allows selection of start date/time and amount of [years][months][weeks][days][hours][minutes][seconds]. The program will alarm you after this amount is reached.
# Added option to show Control Panel on program start.
