Title: Opie Notes
Post by: Hrw on October 25, 2005, 06:13:04 am

During last days I was working on OPIE Notes application. As base I used NoteZ 1.1.0 with my patches.

First I moved it to use OPIE PimMainWindow so it get the same look as Contacts or ToDoList. Then more work was done on it:

Code: [Select]

version 0.2 (2005.10.19):
- first working version
- info sent to NoteZ author and to OPIE devel

version 0.3 (2005.10.20):
- load/save in UTF-8
- load all files from Documents/text/plain
- create .txt files not .ntz - timestamp used as name
- one variable (documentsDirName) keep location of notes
- code (re)indented and converted to spaces
- variables translated to English (were in German)
- beaming
I added current version into OZ 3.5.3 upgrades so anyone can test it - comments are welcome.

Newer versions will be included into OPIE PIM API so any application could use it - current implementation will be just a frontend. This also means that newer version will require OPIE 1.2.2 (not yet released) - so no upgrades for OZ 3.5.3 - will try to release it for OZ 3.5.4.

Current plans:
- creating Note API
- writing SQLite backend
- writing XML backend
- searching in all notes (in opie-notes and opie-search)
- categories support
- sorting by title, last edit date
- toolbar with Cut/Copy/Paste during edit

Hrw,

That is great news. . . I can't wait to see what this looks like.

Thanks as always for your hard work.  This goes for all OZ/Opie developers. . .

Hi Hrw,

sorry that I just found this thread. Elsewhere I suggested what could be a kind of ics-style backend for notes:

This might be a step to being able to sync notes with KDE's knotes application which also stores notes in ics.

What do you think? -- wylbur.
