Correction, I wasn't remembering clearly:

When you declare a var as AnsiString in Delphi, you get the old-style statically allocated string with max length of 255.

The above is wrong. Here's what really happens: when you declare a var as AnsiString, you do get the "huge" string variety. This does not depend on the "Huge strings" compiler switch, since you're explicitly asking for one. The compiler switch only affects declarations of "var s : string;"

But as mouser said, please give a bit more info on your code and the specific error.

Thanks, AbteriX - the version number updated, to 1.6.9. now. The link hasn't changed.

Anyone who downloaded this version before 28 Dec 2006, please update with today's bugfix. When I said (elsewhere) that KeyNote was unmaintainable, I told the truth! There are, for example, several paths in the code that can lead to creating a new tree node, and as a result, the advertised new feature didn't always work: new nodes didn't always get their creation date assigned.

Learning is a good thing, but it makes you cringe when you look at code written six years ago...

(For the coders here - I can't set creation date in the constructor, because all your "old" nodes would appear to have been created the day you opened an old file with the new version of KeyNote. Nodes have no creation date if the knt file doesn't carry this information, so only newly created nodes acquire the date.)

Anyway, this new release fixes that, and I'm hurrying back to my current project, which will hopefully be less jinxed :)

And it has nothing to do with the time of the year :)

About 4 years late I decided to implement one of the major missing features in KeyNote: ability to maintain creation and modification dates for tree nodes. It's one of the relatively few things that can actually be implemented without a rewrite, so here it is. The dates need a place to display them, so I've added a small optional panel above the editor area, to show the active node title and creation/modification dates, and a right-click menu with a few options.

So this, with a couple of other minor edits, is KeyNote 1.6.8. I suppose it will only be useful for those who are already using KeyNote. At the moment I'm announcing it only here; later on I'll post an update to my site.
