Title: Post-its && Notes
Post by: ncarvalho on August 22, 2004, 10:00:33 am

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a simple "paint" software for taking fast notes in my SL-5500.

It should be a really easy paint program... maybe just 2 functions - pen and eraser.

But it would be great that i could access the notes taken, in a list similar to ToDo list.
For example, the list could show date time that note as made.

And like ToDo list, should be possible to make NEW, DELETE or MODIFY my Drawing Notes.

I think this is a usefull program, so i'm asking if someone found some that do this.

Thanks
NCarvalho

hy tehas

thanks for your suggestion

I already saw those two.

FreeNoteQT - is too complicated. i wish something more easy to work

IQNote - i think this is the one most perfect. Unfortunelly i haven't tried yet, because this is not free.
I buy my Sharp 5500 last month and i'm not looking to buy software so soon. But in neer future maybe i buy this one.

Thanks again
NCarvalho

With regard to Freenote QT, is there any way to make this work on a SL5500 with the original Sharp 2.35 rom?

Thanks.

IQNotes used to be free. There's a really old (free) version here: http://www.zaurusoft.com/packages/view/176 (http://www.zaurusoft.com/packages/view/176) .

There is also Drawpad for purely graphical jottings.

Also a search for 'notes' turns up this lot: http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/search.php?q=notes&x=0&y=0 (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/search.php?q=notes&x=0&y=0)

You might want to try StageOne. It's much like IQnotes, but I feel it's much easier to use (mainly better UI). There's also a free trial version.

I have both IQnotes and StageOne.

Actually IQNotes IS free.
It is free software (GPL).
You only have to pay for the precompiled version on Handango.
You can freely retrieve the sources from http://iqnotes.kybu.sk/?page=download (http://iqnotes.kybu.sk/?page=download) and compile it yourself.

But if you are nice, you do that *AND* you pay the author, to show him your support for such a neat application !

Did the same for knights - they could have made their software non-free, yet they decided to keep distributing under the GPL, only charging for precompiled binaries.

Kudos+++
