No major issues to report with NFP ß 02.
The search and scroll operations still feel nice and fast with 1,927 items in the stack.
Minor problems:
- When I start NFP from the Quicklaunch icon, it shows up in the systray and closes as minimised to the systray - which is what I expect it to do. However, it doesn't seem to start with windows even though I have selected that option, and when I put it in my startup folder to force it on startup, it started OK, but did not show in the systray and disappeared on close (though the process was still active).
- After entering the Registration Code, the menu item "Go Pro - Purchase NoteFrog Professional" is greyed out, but when you restart NFP, the same item has been restored to black (i.e., is not greyed out).

NF will (correctly) not copy a duplicate of the last clip to be copied, but it apparently will copy a duplicate of any other clip captured before the last one. (Is that correct?)
Is there some way this duplication could be avoided/prevented in NF?
Is NoteFrog indexed? If not, how fast will search be with large databases?A NoteFrog stack is stored in memory as an array. The search is very fast. On a very large database the limiting factor, speed wise, is displaying a very large list of "matching" items - the list display just takes a while (relatively). If you type fast, so we're not trying to display a new list on each character, but rather only a reasonably sized list of matching items, it will be very fast.-rjbull (January 09, 2012, 03:33 PM)
@berry:
Are you intending to add internal hyperlinks, from note to note?-rjbull (January 06, 2012, 04:36 PM)
Please, what's the function of the narrow column on the right of the titles window, see screenshot?
I've been wondering - not very coherently - about the titles list again. I presume that NF works like EverNote and CintaNotes in that the only "organisation" of the note stack is by date. That means that "live search" won't look quite right, because the results won't be in alphabetical order. If the main and recommended way to access data is via the search feature, would it make sense to relegate the titles list to a popup, and to make the search feature more prominent? That would be a radical departure from the existing look, of course. It would also make NF a little like a Windows form of Memory Mate for DOS (a wonderful program sold first by Brown Bag and then by Broderbund), an indexed free-form notekeeper, very fast at finding things. Many of us liked its clean simple interface, preferring it to the InfoSelect of the same era. MM loaded with a screen blank except for the main controls at the top. Apart from moderately powerful Boolean search, you could step through your note stack note by note. See screenshots... ahhh, that takes me back! And to make the screenshots, I found my copy and ran it in a console under Vista Home Premium!
Once proud, I now feel I need to apologize for being American.-berry (January 06, 2012, 04:54 AM)
I don't think we need to apologize for being Americans.-40hz (January 06, 2012, 06:44 AM)
Whatever the outcome, I still get the distinct impression that the SOPA proposals are at least further tangible evidence - if any further were needed - that American democracy, freedoms and liberties have been and are being gnawed away at an alarming rate by various agencies, including powerful corporate, capitalist, communist, Fascist, statist and religio-political ideological lobbies. The freedom of the individual would be largely irrelevant in this greater context.-IainB (January 05, 2012, 05:59 PM)
Note my modifier "reasonably"Neither EverNote nor AllMyNotes seem to give a perfect rendition of a page. However, would it be possible to have a plain text format that at least includes the links? I.e., stripping out HTML tags but preserving URLs?

@berry:
- Do you have any intention of individually "locking" notes in some way, so that they can't be inadvertently edited or deleted?

@berry:
Do you intend to offer something like EverNote does, so that one can paste part of a Web page into NoteFrog and have it look reasonably like the original, in particular, with links intact?-rjbull (January 03, 2012, 04:23 PM)
Using 1.9.0, an oddity? If I'm in the left pane of note titles, and do a "live search" that takes me to a different note, or press Home or End, the note pane stays on the old note, even if I then press Enter. But if I navigate up and down the title list with the arrow keys, the note changes with the title the cursor is on. I expected the body text of the note to always match the note title the cursor is on.-rjbull (December 31, 2011, 04:47 PM)
"Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen"I heard part of a program on BBC Radio that suggested that the Greeks who rowed triremes might have been the greatest every athletes - and that their like has died out.-berry (December 31, 2011, 09:27 PM)-rjbull (January 02, 2012, 01:46 PM)

That's been out for some years, but seems to be getting very popular. My county library stock has multiple copies, at least one of which has its home at the branch I use, but it's never on the shelf and there's a constant waiting list.-rjbull
that bright yellow-green background has to be one of the worser advertisements one can make for oneself through a screenshot alone.-worstje (December 29, 2011, 09:12 PM)
It's nice if software is "fun," but I've thought the same as you, the colour scheme and the frog are maybe doing it a disservice in marketing terms.-rjbull (December 30, 2011, 02:51 PM)
