What's new in notes 1.6

Mar 12, 2020
  • Added: sticky mode: an utra-minimal editor display. Experimental and can currently only be tried out by hitting F4 in an editor window.
  • Added: command to insert the current date&time. Use F2 or the editor's context menu for this.
  • Added: -newNote command line arg to create a new note.
  • Changed: in the editor's context menu: the 'make top-most' command has been moved to the command menu with a visible link on the bottom row (the up or down arrow)
  • Changed: Version info now stored in the assembly properties.
  • Fixed: bug in hotkey assignment with certain keys.

New in notes 1.4 (Oct 3, 2019)

  • Added: Search feature in individual notes. Toggle the search panel via the magnifying-glass link on the note editor. Related keys: press F3 or ctrl-f to show the search panel (or run a search if the panel is already open)
  • Added: Now remembering the caret position in closed note editors.
  • Added: Accelerator keys on context menus
  • Fixed: Bug in save file dialog.

New in notes 1.3 (Jan 3, 2017)

  • Fixed: regression where moving an editor window would sometimes discard unsaved changes.
  • Added: Better handling of notes that are modified externally (ie: in sync apps). Also these notes will now have their modification dates bolded as a notification of the change, instead of popping up.
  • Added: Manager hotkeys; F3 toggles focuses between the filter textbox and the note list. Enter on the filter text now focuses the list and selects the 1st note.
  • Added: Editor hotkey; ctrl+t toggles always-on-top.
  • Changed: Better hide on startup. (Window no longer flashes)
  • Changed: UI tweaks.

New in notes 1.2 (Dec 12, 2016)

  • Added: Undo/Redo context menu items to note editor.
  • Added: 'New Note' command to tray icon context menu.
  • Added: Editor window position is remembered (saved via ntfs alternate data-stream in the text file)
  • Added: Text Drag/Drop enabled to/from the note editor.
  • Added: Drag/Drop of whole notes to/from the Notes Manager (converts to file or text as appropriate).
  • Added: "Open in Editor" setting and commands added, opens the note in a user-specified (or default) text-editor. Closes the note's editor window if it's open.
  • Added: UI change; editor commands (links along the bottom) now collapse if the note is too small to show them all. Also 'last saved' time moved to a tooltip, since autosave means it shouldn't matter.
  • Changed: Back to old icon. Apparently several other apps using the one we appropriated.
  • Fixed: Potential issue on note creation.

New in notes 1.1 (Nov 28, 2016)

  • Added: Option to make a note the topmost window. (In note context meny)
  • Added: Option to linkify URL's (in settings)
  • Added: Grep button & search handling.

  • Added: Note manager list sort is remembered.
  • Fixed: Three character titles should be OK.
  • Changed: Updated Settings Code, plus new window placement code.
  • Changed: UI Tweaks; (Apparently I hate borders now.)
  • Changed: New Icon.

New in notes 1.0 (Aug 19, 2016)

  • Refactored using new template.
  • CHANGED: Using a listview with sortable columns rather than a treeview. Grouping notes should be done by adding text to the names instead of adding directories: eg: create a note called 'shopping.groceries', instead of 'shopping' inside the 'groceries' group. Then use filtering instead of opening/closing groups.
