Manual for KeepNote: Note taking and organization - Documentation - 0 views

  • KeepNote offers a convenient debugging tool for when notes are not saving properly. You can open any note as a raw text file in the text editor of your choice. This is specified with the Text Editor helper application.
    • LeisHowI
       
      eg, using notepad++ instead to edit items. overriding the lack of language support or spellcheck currently.
  • Screenshots can be taken very easily in KeepNote using Ctrl+Insert. KeepNote uses helper applications to actually take the screenshot.
    • LeisHowI
       
      Since it asks for the launch link in the preferences. It works well with picpick as it runs with parameters as well.
  • Additional notes: To be specific, KeepNote expects the screenshot program to take a single command-line option: the output image filename.
  • ...45 more annotations...
  • filename is a tempfile managed by KeepNote
  • After the screenshot program finishes, KeepNote will un-minimize, attempt to read the saved screenshot, and insert the image into the currently open note. The tempfile will also be removed.
  • KeepNote maintains an index of each notebook to facilitate faster navigation and linking. This index is stored as a SQLite database and its file is located at your_notebook/__NOTEBOOK__/index.sqlite.
  • if you happen to create/modify notes outside of KeepNote (which is not guaranteed to be supported in all cases), you should let the index know about these changes by choosing the menu Tools > Update Notebook Index.
  • If you use backup software or a network filesystem with your notebook, you may experience performance issues with the index
  • If this becomes an issue, you can specify an alternative location for the index file (say a location on a local disk). To specify an alternative location, use the option Edit > Preferences > This Notebook > Alternative index location.
  • can use drag and drop in either the treeview or listview to rearrange your notes.
  • envision KeepNote being used in a research setting where you have notes that follow both journal (time-sensitive, linear organization, pictured on the left) and reference (time-insensitive, hierarchical, pictured on the right) styles.
  • istview also allows sorting by both creation time, note title, and manual sorting.
  • Another feature that I have focused on is image manipulation.
  • Notes are most valuable when you can easily access them. That means accessing your notes on multiple platforms
  • All notes are stored in UTF-8 HTML files and nested in ordinary folders on the file system. That means you can read your notes with nothing more than a web browser.
  • Portability.
  • KeepNote can easily save notebooks to a USB drive. The KeepNote application can also be installed to a USB drive, so that moves with the notes.
  • At this time KeepNote does store some user preference information in the Application Data folder, but this should not prevent using KeepNote in a portable way.
  • because KeepNote does not store any information in the Windows Registry
  • shortcut keys Ctrl+N (New Page) and Ctrl+Shift+M (New Folder).
  • KeepNote can store any file as an "attachment" to the notebook.
  • Autosave. Notebooks are automatically saved every 10 seconds. This interval can be changed or disabled in the Edit > Preferences menu.
  • Nesting in listview. Another subtle feature is that the listview can display nested folders and notes as well. The collapse state of folders in the listview is saved separately.
  • listview, you can sort notes by many criteria (e.g. title, creation time, modification time, etc) by clicking on the column headers.
  • For very large notebooks, a treeview (the left side of the window) becomes overwhelming, a problem I have run into with many other programs. In these situations, a listview (top portion of the window), becomes important.
  • none of the columns are activated for sorting, the listview goes into "manual" sort mode, which displays the notes as they appear in the treeview and allows you to drag and drop notes into any order you wish.
  • One very subtle but convenient feature is that the listview sorting is saved on a per folder basis
  • KeepNote also supports links between notes in a notebook.
  • Simply start a link with Ctrl+L or clicking the link button and start typing the name of a note. An auto-complete drop down list will appear allowing you to pick the note you wish to link to
  • Another way to create a link is to use copy-and-paste. First, select a note in the treeview or listview that you wish to link to and copy it (Ctrl+C or the menu Edit > Copy). Next, navigate to the note in which you wish to make the link, and paste into the text editor to create a link.
  • Note: note-to-note links will never break (unless you delete the target note). Feel free to rename a note or move it around. Links will still point to the right notes.
  • Custom note icons
  • Each note can have up to two icons associated with it: a normal icon and an optional open version of the icon. If the open version of an icon is set it will be used when the note is expanded in the treeview or listview
  • After you select a new icon, it will be added to the Notebook-specific Icons list for future reuse. A copy of the icon image is now stored in your notebook.
  • several options for images in their right click menu
  • Resize Image...
  • KeepNote will display the image at its new size, while keeping the original image file unaltered (original size).
  • Double clicking the image or choosing the View Image menu option will display the image at its original size in the image viewer of your choice.
  • feature is convenient for shrinking large images into thumbnails within your notebook.
  • Sorting.
  • Spell checking is available only on Linux and Mac OS X at this time
  • can add/change a keyboard shortcut to any menu option in KeepNote.
  • Simply place your mouse cursor over the menu item which you would like to customize and press your desired shortcut combination (e.g. Ctrl+I)
  • To remove a shortcut altogether, press Ctrl+Backspace
  • Backup and restore
  • Currently, the only format implemented is HTML
  • The hierarchy (as seen in the treeview) will be exported and all note-to-note links will be translated from KeepNote's format (e.g. nbk:///nodeid...) into relative file links that will work in all web browsers.
  • Helper applications are other programs installed on your computer that KeepNote can use to perform certain operations, such as image editing, web browsing, text editing, etc. These applications are chosen from the KeepNote Preference dialog,

  • From the article, you can:
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • Save it for later reading.
  • Annotate it
  • Recommend it to friends
  • Send a note about the article using your Twitter acount.
  • Preview it, giving a glimpse of how it looks from the source site.
  • Due to Feedly's tight integration with Google Reader, the items in the What's New page are segmented by topic,
  • gathered from your folders in Google Reader.
  • The Wall can act as your social springboard to both shared items in Google Reader and Twitter updates.
  • Feedly has developed an extensive tie-in with Google Search and Google Reader on day one.
  • Searches for more frequent terms, like Apple and Yahoo!, had their expected 1000+ results,
  • in reverse chronological order.
  • The goal? To bring a new, graphical, view of feeds, via Google Reader, and add multiple social layers on top of what's already recognized as the world's most-popular online RSS engine.
  • But unlike Google Reader, you can highlight the portion you're commenting on, and make notes,
  • select the desired text, and an option comes up to either "search related articles" or "highlight".
  • selected text is in fact highlighted, and you can add a comment.
  • Tweeting an article is similarly easy
  • click "tweet"
  • opens up with the headline, an automatically generated TinyURL, and a note on how many characters I have before running out of Twitter's 140 character limit.
  • automatically shows contacts you have in your GMail address book
  • Feedly is 100% synchronized with Google Reader.
  • move a blog from one folder to another in Google Reader? You can do that through Feedly.
  • Feedly essentially brings you all the aspects of Google Reader we've grown accustomed to, but displays them in a new, friendly, visual way, while extending the feed universe out to Twitter and e-mail, and adding social elements.
  • should you get bogged down with too many updates, feeds are flagged warm or cool based on your reading behavior and how often you mark them as favorites.
  • If you're the type of RSS power user who wants to read hundreds of items through aggressive keyboard navigation, then Google Reader still can't be beat,
  • but if you want to pick the very best from the many feeds you have, share items with friends and find new sources for news, Feedly is a compelling option.

  • does not ‘spoil’ the image because the notes can be easily removed and also hidden with a click of a button.
  • photos also can be shared across the web along with the comments or annotations.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • with FotoTagger we can pinpoint any element on the photo and place a comment on it.
  • Photos (JPEGs) can be given a caption that’s like a label for the whole photo or a tag which can be pointed towards any element in the photo (also called a callout).
  • An image can be given only one caption but it can have multiple tags
  • Fonts and colors can be customized for tags and captions
  • They can be shown as rectangles or as balloons.
  • Tags and captions do not significantly add to the size of the image as they are stored within the image file in text format.
  • also can be revealed and hidden with a single click within FotoTagger (thus, displaying the image with and without tags).
    • LeisHowI
       
      Viewing enabled only if within a particular program?
  • also lets us publish annotated pictures to our blogs (Blogger and LiveJournal). If the image size is too large for blogs, an alert pops up requesting permission to resize the image.
  • Comment tab is for entering a more descriptive note on the particular image or the whole album.
  • Single images or a bunch with all its annotations can be exported (and imported back) to and from Flickr
  • While exporting, you can also perform a resize operation
  • technically inclined can use the image information tabs in the bottom panel to view specific data like EXIF, IPTC, image properties, histogram and of course the tags for the image
  • Exporting to HTML as whole folders or as individual files is also a two step process.
  • get are HTML pages that include the annotated image with tags which can be hidden with a click of a button. These are viewable in any browser and do not require FotoTagger for displaying the tags.
  • Creating animated slideshows and presentations
  • fourth way is to send annotated images by email. Send it with tags merged into the image automatically through FotoTagger which launches your default email application.
  • But cosmetics aside, FotoTagger does the basic job of captioning and tagging quite well.
  • plug-in which allows us to capture an image straight from either IE or Firefox into FotoTagger is not updated for the latest version of the Firefox browser.
  •  
    I don't know if it counts as 'real' tagging, and it doesn't say if other programs or services read that data. Interesting I suppose, if you like annotating things.

  • ...11 more annotations...
  • mouse over to the edges of the screen, where you will find all the tools that you need to browse, view and tag your images
  • But note that in order to really take advantage of what this program can do you really have to become familiar with the different mouse manipulations
  • (e.g. right-click and move to move selected sets of images around – see the video tutorials). You also might want to become familiar with the various keyboard shortcuts, esp. the ones that concern tagging images, as they will make the process super fast and easy. Note that when hovering over any command icon in the interface a text label will show at the bottom of the screen to explain it (although a tool-tip would have been better, I think).

  • Automatic tag suggestions: for quick tagging, Viewer2 can suggest tags based on other tagging activity.
  • Lasso-type tool: an innovative tool that can be used while tagging to select multiple images
  • Searching: the search function is one of the most versatile and powerful that you could hope for
  • It is able to field sophisticated queries such as give me the word "bla" with "2007" in the path excluding the tag "wallpaper" as an example (see the manual section for an overview).
  • search by tags, by name, location, size, etc.
  • Customization: most everything about this program can be customized in the settings, from the size of the thumbnails to the way various elements behave.
  • Memory use: only 16 megs in memory, despite the nifty, visual pyrotechnics.

Zoundry Raven vs Live Writer: Fight! « Scott's Windows Live Ramblings - 0 views

  • in Live Writer, if you omit the http:// from your blog address, it will add that for you, ZR doesn’t. ZR also detects this blog incorrectly as being “Wordpress (ver 2.1 or ealier [sic])” whereas this blog is actually Wordpress 2.9.2, so almost there, but not quite.
  • Live Writer also downloads the blog’s theme so that you can edit your post as it would appear in your blog (ZR offers this, but in a slightly different way, see later).
  • there is a difference in how much is offered to each blog. Live Writer pips this due to the extra XHTML, Right To Left support, plug-in support, turning on script and embedding support
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Live Writer, it downloads the blog’s theme automatically and offers this as default, so straight away as soon as you start writing your blog post, you’re already looking at the style your blog has:
  • ive Writer’s theme detection has, since the very beginning, been very good at grabbing the theme and formatting it [almost] perfectly within the editor window.
  • where things start to fall down for ZR, when it started to get my theme it ultimately failed with an error:
  • the big difference comes in and swings this more towards Live Writer. As noted above with the themes, Live Writer lets you actually write your blog post as if you were writing in your actual blog, this means you can get the layout just how you want it.
  • ZR does offer WYSIWYG editing, it’s not quite up to that same standard of “cool.”
  • One thing that ZR does have for post editing that has been requested for Live Writer is tabbed support.
  • both editors let you insert images into your blog post and arrange the post where you want them to go, you can create thumbnails of the images.
  • However, Live Writer does come into its own when it comes to editing the image. ZR offers your basic properties of an image, adding alt tags, etc:
  • although at least ZR will let you [in a roundabout way] edit the name of a pasted image, rather than just having Imagex.png. You also can’t insert a web image easily in ZR, although for Wave 3 on Windows 7, neither can Live Writer, not without a plug-in.
  • Live Writer on the other hand has a multitude of different things you can do with the image:
  • crop the image, rotate, tilt, add effects, etc.
  • plug-in architecture in Live Writer for 3rd party developers to write enhancements for it, adding further functionality so that you can do a whole multitude of things. This just simply doesn’t exist in ZR.
  • With ZR, even having done added a blog template, it still doesn’t actually let you write your blog post using that theme, it only lets you preview it using that theme:
  • Another nice feature that ZR has over Live Writer (although quite why this isn’t in Live Writer is beyond me) is search and replace!
  • , there is already one feature that rocks for Live Writer, and that is the split post feature.
  • insert a split into your post, it means anything above it will appear on your front page, and everything else will appear once you’ve gone to the full article.
  • providers are now supporting it (wordpress, Community Server, blogger, to name a few).
  • Save as draft
  • acking in ZR,
  • Through its plug-in architecture, developers have been able to add extra functionality to Live Writer, like Flickr support, ImageShack (of sorts), uploading non image files, and various other services.
  • ZR, however, does this out the box, this is quite cool, especially if you want to keep all your images (blog or otherwise) in one central place, rather than split across different services.
  • Live Writer offers video support for YouTube, both the browsing, and uploading, of videos, right from within Live Writer
