N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 Mugs, etc. -- All participants please read in

« on: January 05, 2012, 12:36 PM »

mouser, are the two glasses as a 'one of the choice' for the 'NANY mug' this year ?

Since my last year mug has similar image as this year one, so I may go for one of the glass.

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 - Pledge & Final Release: Stick A Note

« on: January 04, 2012, 10:39 AM »

Thank TaoPhoenix, IainB and all DC members for the appreciating SAN 
 
- floating note in a small window, for changing size and position.
- find text in all notes
- different folder for notes
etc. are on my mind.

Since I expected the world to know about SAN only after official announcement in Jan 2012, so was working slowing on the points, which already I had in my hand. But the reviews before that made me to fulfill the users expectations sooner. Last update was of few of the points.

GumNotes - freeware and shareware.- http://www.gumnotes.com/
Quick Notes Plus - shareware - http://conceptworld.com/QNP

are similar app of  which I checked GM, but somehow I was not satisfied with it. So I made SAN.

The main goal of SAN is to allow user to keep important notes of features, options, todo etc. of particular program or document at hand. SAN should not be a distraction or create rigidity for the user. It should be slave of user under his/her command.

As a professional developer for 15 years or so, I know that it is the data which is most important than the app. Many app will come and go, based on time and user choice but the data of each user will remain important for him/her.

This is the reason I choose text format over any type of database or rtf etc. If any thing happens to SAN or user finds a better app, he do not have to worry about his/her notes, which he may have made in the long run of time. They are always readable or transferable or copyable in all OS, cloud, app etc.

I try to put my self in all my apps, be it free or paid. I want user to remember me for my work and good apps.

Please give me some time as I have lots of project work to do. Will take up SAN points after that.

One again thank you all.

Regards,

Anand

mouser and kyrathaba thanks for appreciation. In fact the reviews have made me to stop my project works and finish the points which I planned for SAN before close of NANY 2012.

Hope to upload the same before midnight.

kyrathaba I have changed the title to 'Release', so that you can take it after midnight. I will try to add any polish, if possible, before that.

Enhancements based on feedback will continue, as I get time.

rjbull, "Pasteboard" feature is something like when you copy any text in any program, it is automatically saved in a file sequentially. I do not think, I will get time for it now, as I am busy finishing "Stick A Note". Give me another 2 weeks or so.

Thanks Tao for the feedback. I will check in Win7 and rectify it.

Also I am changing the hotkey define option to more straight forward one and will flash tray icon if the window has a note, so that user get to know about it.

Tao, the SAN note gets saved as soon as you press 'ok' button in 'edit note' window.

The note is saved with the title of the window. So if you open a txt file, say 'biodata' in notepad.exe, the title will be 'biodata - Notepad', which is saved along with the note.

Next time you you press the hotkey for the SAN note in notepad, the title must match to show the note, i.e. 'biodata' text file must be opened.

If you want the SAN note to show for any text file opened, then edit the title to only 'notepad' then it will show regardless of the text file opened in notepad.

Please revert if any problem.

Regards,

Anand

Thanks @TaoPhoenix for the suggestion.

I also use 'Remove All Blanks' many a times in a day. Having a locked style will definitely benefit. Also I will try you suggestion on filename. I wanted to make a release before Christmas, but looks like Santa is sending more project work to me now

yes @kunkel321, I wanted this sync system, for my office and home to have the same notes available. I used the 'ResophNotes' data folder and it worked fine.

Presently I am too bogged down with my project works, that I am surprised why in the world all work are just coming now when I need some free time for myself ! Maybe it is the thankful wave of DC which is giving me more work !!

Nzyme you can give Paste Text Like a try. A pledge for NANY 2012.

https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=27967.0

It gives the selected text line and character count along with some text manipulation options.

I will appreciate feedback to make it better.

Official Announcements / Re: DC Server Down for 3 hours on June 4, 2011 due to datacenter power outage

« on: December 09, 2011, 01:52 AM »

I had sweats on my forehead, when I could not get through in the morning session. Though I do not remember how long I kept refreshing the "downforall.." page with the DC link, it did looked like more than hour.

I can not say how I felt relieved when it said DC was running.

One suggestion, since at the time of DC down, we all were asking just one question "what happened ?". Now can we have a mirror/ separate site, with just the official information of current activity of DC ? Mouser or a volunteer can keep it updated once a day in normal cases and frequently in down time (hope it does not happen again). No more that 1 or 2 pages and no comment features, just read only.

Since both will reside in separate place/ server etc. Once can check the other if he/she has problem getting through the first.

What do you think about it ?

Regards,

Anand

« on: December 02, 2011, 03:46 AM »

@joiwind, thank you for checking SAN. I have noted the "note move around option" and will try to implement it, but editing will be in separate window. The reason is, SAN is not a general sticky note, but more related to program/process for which user is writing notes. There will be info. for the program window, along with option to search in earlier notes. All these will be difficult to put in a small note area.

@tomos, sorry for the download trouble, rectified the link, thanks. Win+Y shd work, May be German keyboard is saving something else in ini. Please check the ini file, it shd have "hotkey=#Y" without quotes. Also note that you will have to 'check/enable' the Win checkbox and just press 'y' in the box. Please revert if you still face problem.

Anand

General Software Discussion / Re: New member

« on: November 23, 2011, 11:27 AM »

@mouser,

Is there any way (statistics) of mouse click recorded on links of our DC site ? If yes, we can use it to make larger/button for the links which are used most.

I also agree we think of revamping our site, after all now we are in Pad/Tablet time 

@dongler, if you read this, I hope you must be very happy enough to use one of our App, to get the license key. Rest assured the developer of that App will forward more help to you both for the App and the site, if you may require. Feel free to contact.

Criticism helps to develop better next version, example Win7 after Vista.

Regards,

Anand
