I was looking for a note manager in this style as well.
I tend to use Zim, that is more for advanced notes/wiki than anything, but this is just ideal to have around. Low resource usage and just the right set of features.
I am amused by the Scripts tab at the preferences menu. However I didn't find any reference in the package, nor any example script to use. I'd like to feature request a few example scripts to see how they can be useful.

Happy New Year!
Thank you for response.
I know about problem with using scripts, it's in my TODO list now)

You can execute added scripts by pressing on button "Commands" on toolbar.
Script is shell command/script.

Happy new year :D
I see about scripts, by the way, maybe this is a bug. When I shutdown my machine (KDE 4.3, Ubuntu 9.10) zNotes blocks the shutdown and the tray icon becomes transparent. After this I can shutdown again and it doesn't keep blocking.
I compiled zNotes from the latest sources as of now.

"KDE logout was cancelled by zNotes" bug fixed in 0.4.0

>When I shutdown my machine (KDE 4.3, Ubuntu 9.10) zNotes blocks the shutdown and the tray icon becomes transparent.

Intresting, that's the first time I've heard about this problem. I'll try to reproduce this bug.

Interestingly enough, this strange behavior disappeared in KDE 4.4 Beta 2. unfortunately I didn't consider a rollback to 4.3 so I cannot provide further feedback. Did you manage to reproduce it in your system, though? I can give details on other running applications if needed.

Sparrowmelody

Actually, please ignore my last message, as this still does happen in 4.4 Beta 2 and RC1 (however the transition messed up startup applications so znotes was not active, my bad).
What information can I provide to help?

>However, to read the new notes, zNotes has to be restarted. Is it possible to add a "refresh" button?

Yes, simular functions are planned (including automatic update of notes list).

(For some reason I cannot reply to your last comment...)
I do, but I am not in a stable residence at the moment, so I cannot sit in front of the computer as much as I'd like...does OpenDesktop.org have message capabilities? Can work...

By the way, I would like to make a small suggestion...I made a small script (nothing complex, just a pipe) to generate notes from text snippets. However, to read the new notes, zNotes has to be restarted. Is it possible to add a "refresh" button?

I'm working on version 0.4 now.
And it's almost ready, I planned to realize it this month.
How I can contact with you to test it before realize?
Do you use jabber (or any other IM)?

Been hoping something like this would come along. Thanks for the work.

Is it something you have planned to be able to have clickable links in the notes? I tend to use alot of weblinks when I create notes. :)

ru-proton

done in 0.4.0!

ru-proton
11 years ago

Yes, it's planned.
I'll add this feature when I find, how to make it.

It's planned to version 0.4

Hi

Nice application. I use it on a Windows-PC too. I created the EXE using MingW32, Qt4.5.3-static and wine. As it is a static build, I compressed it using UPX.

Thanks for answer. So I don't try compile this anymore. You use some features from QT4.5

Who can make beautiful icon for this project?

If I'll open about/settings windows while the main window is hiding, and close them, zNotes will closed too.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English...
