I know this project is not to be continued, but...

I wonder how much effort it would be to add some more task functionality.
What I miss very much is a list view, with the fields
- note/node name/path;
- alarm time.

Double clicking on a row would jump to the node.

The list could be sorted by any attribute (or even filtered?).

2 reasons I miss it:
- alarm time is not seen in note view;
- list in the alarm window has too little info.

This list could be either in place of the current alarm list or a
completely new panel (latter would be best).

Extra:
- Clicking on a row of the list would display the notes belonging to it in
the editor panel.
- Filter: with/without alarm time, hide checked.

When applying list styles, the first indent of list (bullet or numbering)
is not homogeneous. It seems like sometimes did a little jump backwards, if
we apply numbering list.
And so, sometimes, if we apply bullet list style, then numbering list, and
again bullet style, the position of bullet list is not the same at the
beginning.

Besides, if line has bullet list style and we click in numbering list style
button, instead of applying numbering list, disappears list style. Idem
with numbering style.

      if ( shift = [ssCtrl,ssShift] ) then
      begin
        //key := 0;
        //Pages.SelectNextPage( false );
        Key := 0;
        RxRTFKeyProcessed := true; // do not handle this key in OnKeyPress
        if ( assigned( ActiveNote ) and ( ActiveNote.Kind = ntTree )) then
        begin
          TTreeNote( ActiveNote ).TV.SetFocus;
          ActiveNote.FocusMemory := focTree;
        end;
      end;

Now Ctrl+Shift+TAB works as follows:
If foucus is on rtf: comes back to tree, if on tree: chooses previous note.

Example: notepad++
e.g.
  test;
if I am at the end of exemplary line I push home
and I am on beggining by now in keynote.
In notepad++ however I am just at first letter t position.
Then next hit of home moves caret to beggining of the line.
And yet another one again to letter t.

Sorry I produce so many key-enhancement requests, but I think
it is easy to work on all of them just together once to make it perfect.
These is small things which make life faster and easier :)

Of course I'm not all that clever, but I can't get the new help file to work.
I copied all the files into a new folder ('Keynote' what else)and the help
file comes up but it can't find any of the pages when I hit the links in
there. How about going back to the old style .hlp files; it could become a
progressive meme among more advanced programmers. Or not.

[deleted issue]

KeyNote NF 1.7.4 accepts Chinese notes.

However, when a Chinese character is copied from the note, and pasted in
the Find window as "Text to find", it becomes a question mark "?", and the
program will search for question marks.

When a node is inserted in the tree from a node in which the immediately
previous one is hidden, the new node doesn't appear immediately before but
as the last sibling. Internally the position is correct but it is not shown
ok. For that reason could not be possible to move the node upwards (with
shift+up), probably because its position is already the first.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open with Firefox or Chrome and 
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Dallas_skyline_1912c.jpg
2. Copy the image(Ctrl+C or "Copy Image" from context menu)
3. Paste it in KeyNote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Image is very long but there are no scrollers enabled and there is no way 
to see entire image- scroll it.

Using KeyNote 1.7.5 - Windows XP 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to open encrypted knt file saved by 1.7.4rev2 version with 1.6.4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
File should open, gray screen can be observed instead.

What version are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.4rev2 winxp home

Please provide any additional information below.
I suppose there is a problem with alarms which were not available in previous 
version and hence unable to read. However I removed alarms,
does not help.

Dear Mr. Daniel Prado Velasco / KeyNote Dev Team
CC: Mr. Marek 

Hello. Thank you for your efforts to enhance KeyNote.
I deeply appreciate your idea and creativity.

I am using KeyNote to make categorized notes for facts.
While I'm using keynote, I came to feel following necessities of 
additional functions.

1. Multiple Instance Execution
   Unikely MS-word for other normal software, user cannot run multiple 
instances of KeyNote.
   I can run only 1 KeyNote in a single computer. I think you made 
protection in the keynote software 
   to stop running multiple KeyNotes at the same time.
   Can you enable this multiple running function so that user can do 
certain comparison job 
   between 2  or 3 keynote documents.

2. Import other keynote document into tree node
   I think this function would be useful, because copy and paste function 
is not allow for tree note.
   Tree node should be allowed for copy and paste.

3. Paste text into the name of tree node by Ctrl+V key operation
    It will save some time and effort of user, unless the user should type 
in all the text.

4. Extended HTML support for Copy and Paste clipboard operation
    Unlikely MS-Word, KeyNote does not fully support copying the text 
attributes and picture image file from url source.
    So I found I can overcome such problem by copying text from Internet 
Explorer and pasting it into MS-Word.
    Then I copy the document with text attribute + JPG from MS-word into 
KeyNote.

That's all of my suggestions. And I hope also to contribute to your 
enhancement efforts by some means later,
such as language localization (Korean) or for your other efforts.
Thank you and best regards

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Push alt+C when having polish keyboard layout.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
ć

What version are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.4 rev2 winxp home

Please provide any additional information below.
Maybe it is assigned to something different?
Once I had simmilar issue with F2 when using UAS integration.
Even in other editors when pushing F2 it did not work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Keynote
2. Set "Allow only one instance"
3. Attempt to start another instance.
4. This causes a crash: "KeyNote NF (New Features) has encountered a
problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See above.

What version are you using? On what operating system?
Keynote version 1.7.4 (rev. 2)

Please provide any additional information below.

Failed to save after erasing a node with hidden childs:
"Error while saving note "xxx": Note contains X nodes, but only X were saved."

First of all look at attachement.
The point is that indent after numbering within same line 
is 2 instead of 4.. well it is visible what I mean.
Additional issue here is - when I push enter, then numbering is reset.
Option of continuation would be nice ;)

Fist of all thanks a lot for implementation of my suggestions.
For the second, sorry I can not put is as low priority - I do
not see option for that? I am blind maybe..
For the third, sorry I am posting so much, but these are nice ideas,
I simply want to make it better, that is all.
You can always delete it, so you did.

I attach 2 photos in order to show you, how useful nfo standard is to
draw arrows etc. Additionally try this software:
www[dot]defacto2[dot]net/download.cfm?file=FNW-NFO_Builder2000.zip

If you do not want to implement free cursor ok, I can use other soft,
but at least reading of these characters (ASCII.jpg)would be very useful,
of course as low priority.

By now with Ctrl+H I can highlight text,
Ctrl+Shift+H remove it, 
but it would be nice to choose colors not only by mouse ;)

Even though it's set the Read-Only option (Note->Read Only) Keynote allows
changes to the leaf text by pressing <RETURN> key.
All other text are not entered but the <RETURN> key allows changes which
it shouldn't

Prado, it would be good if the way Keynote look dictionary to spell sheck 
could be changed. When one wants a spell sheck, the program always search 
in the English dictionary, I try to select Spanish, but it goes back to 
the English one.

It would be great to hold Ctrl+arrow up/down and shift entire document, while 
cursor could be still in the same place, by now cursor moves, so sometimes I 
need to wait until it reaches top or bottom of the page to see what have I 
written before or after.

I have used Keynote for a long time and I have several .knt files generated
with version 1.6.5.
When I open one of those files with the new version on a PC with Win2k I
can see the hierarchy of nodes but I can't see the content (the text) of
any node.
I have also installed Keynote on a laptop with Vista OS and the version
1.7.4 works well. 

Thanks 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create New keynote file
2. make RIGHT CLICK on default tab named 'New Note'
3. context menu appeared on top left corner of screen, but not under cursor

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-

What version are you using? On what operating system?
Release_1.7.3.3

Please provide any additional information below.
i use Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise with SP1

It could be useful to add a new button that behaves like 'Copy format' of
MS Word. This new button will internally use functions already defined:
Copy/Paste Font Attributes and Copy/Paste Paragraph Attributes.

First of all take a look at attachement.
There are 2 nice features there:
1. reoccuring events

2. time of alarm can be set before acutal time of the event
I.e. for example I have a note with meeting at 3pm, 
but I would like to be informed at 2pm still keeping time 2pm.
Of course I can write it in a note, but it would be nice enhancement.

3. By now it is only possible to postpone event by some minutes or day
It would be nice to have it for few months or year as well.
See how Chaos Manager does that. It is really good solution.

I just realized, because we have poor image handling,
it could be good idea to have a mode in which cursor
could move freely so that drawing of schemas would be easy.
I mean so called ASCII art creation.
e.g.

----------
  |    |

is a table.. but.. now cursor moved max to the last character.
If it could move freely, drawing would be easier.
Of course, that could be also an optional mode of editing a note.

It will save some time and effort of user, unless the user should type in
all the text.

John Kim

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In the text of a note, use CTRL+; to increase first line indent
2. Try to use SHIFT+CTRL+; to decrease first line indent nothing happens
3. This problem does not exist with decrease left indent (SHIFT+ALT+;) or
with decrease right indent (SHIFT+CTRL+')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect: first line indent decreases
actual result: no change in first line indent

What version are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.4 on Windows XP; this problem also exists on 1.6 on Windows XP
both using RichEdit DLL ver 4 (msftedit.dll)

Please provide any additional information below.

Desperately need a sound when an alarm goes off.

That's a little error from issue #7. At this moment pasting with
Shift-Insert is like Paste as Text (without formatting)

In version 1.6.5 functions 'Increase First Indent' and 'Decrease First
Indent', didn't work as expected when applied to a selection of several
lines. First indent in all the lines changed to the same value; relative
values were lost.
In current version now this works, but with a 'handmade' solution that it
doesn't work fine all the times.
Now I know that RichEdit control allows to specifiy first indent in a
relative manner, non absolute. This will be the correct solution

This a request demanded by many people, specially non-English speaking. I
have been looking for a solution in internet and I have found a very
interesting utility: Kryvich's Delphi Localizer
(http://kryvich.googlepages.com/index.html)

I have yet to make some adjustments to the program, like allowing to select
the language in the configuration options, and convert many of the strings
in the code into resource strings (localizable).

Besides, I will need people who want to make the translation into various
languages. All it is needed is to translate strings stored in easy-to-edit
ini-style files. 
As the main .ini file (to be translated) is available I will attach it to
this issue, so that next release could be in several languages, if possible.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new file
2. Save it with a name which contains upper-case characters, e.g.
"MyKeyNoteFile.knt"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: file is saved as "MyKeyNoteFile.knt".
Actual: file is saved as "mykeynotefile.knt".

What version are you using? On what operating system?
Both KeyNote 1.6.5 and KeyNote NF 1.7.4 rev. 2.

Please provide any additional information below.
Even after renaming the file back to "MyKeyNoteFile.knt" in some file
manager, the next saving in KeyNote turns the file's name to
"mykeynotefile.knt" again.

Pressing Intro in an empty line with bullet or numbering list style, should
cause list style to be removed.

"...Also, with KeyNote 1.6.5 it is possible to open a file created with a 
later version, but in this case, if the file is saved, the alarms and 
information about checked nodes will be lost..."

hey Daniel, great work taking up keynote dev... just a little note about 
the above compatibility issue, it seems there is no prob opening old files 
using new version but not vice versa...? thanks

Found in v1.7.1:
When browsing through the list in the 'Set Alarm' window, the alarm time
previously set is displayed under the window title (OK), but the controls
for setting the alarm time at the bottom are not updated to this value;
they keep showing a default value. It results in accidentally overwriting
the alarm time with the default value when clicking on the Apply button.

I mean if some code2 and some code3 need to be alligned together to e.g. 6th 
column, by now I need to push tab few times on every line.
It could be great enhancement to mark 2 lines together and push TAB, so that 
all lines will be tabbed together.
{
  some code1
  if
    {
      some code2
      some code3
    }
}

By now when I have bitmap or jpeg paste I can not change it easily.
I have to copy, paste e.g. in paint than again copy and paste
to keynote and rezize to same size that it was before.
The nice idea would be - on double click, create temporary jpeg or bmp
file, than lunch e.g. paint with parameter on that temp file
(could be optional software to edit images) as child process,
finally when saved and child process is closed, copy content of that
temporary file, delete it and put it in place of old data in keynote file.
On the end resize to state from before change.
In that way one could easily edit images, e.g. add some line, or circle,
or apply even some vector graphic software e.g. Diagram Designer.
Very useful when designing conceptions instead of regular paper :)

Tabs context menu 
(issue 1)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new note
2. Click right mouse button on the "New note"'s tab
3. The context menu appears above the cursor, not below it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The context menu must appear below the cursor. 
Instead, it appears above the cursor and current menu's item is "Remove
Note". Several times I clicked it accidentally (automatically) and was
prompted to delete the note (which I did not want to do).

What version are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.5.1, Windows XP


Export... 
(issue 2)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new note or open some existing note
2. Select File -> Export...
3. In the "Export notes dialog", activate "Options" tab
4. Click "Help on headings"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Help on headings
Actual: Unexpected error

What version are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.5.1, Windows XP

It would be very useful to have keyboard shortcuts for text formatting like
underline (Ctrl-U), bold (Ctrl-B or Ctrl-G (for French users)) and italics
(Ctrl-I).

If I may suggest, other keyboard shortcuts that I often use in other
programs are: Ctrl-< and Ctrl-Shift-< to decrease/increase the font size.

Many thanks for continuing the development of this very handy application.

Luc

Since 1.6.5 (at least) changing the font style of a selection causes losing
the styles that are currently present.
For example, if selection is "one two three" and word "two" has bold style,
to apply italic style to the selection makes the selection to be in italic
but deletes bold style of 'two' word.

On converting old links with the prefix "file:///?" to the new format, by
Shift-Click on URL and "Modify"ing from modal window 'Choose Action for
URL', the new hyperlink will not work.
This is not true with links with the prefix "file:///*" The are converted ok.

allowing to define keyboard shortcuts for custom macros...

I see Keynote uses some of MS Word functionality. Keynote being open
source, it would be great if it used the functionalities of Open Office and
better if it could save in ODF 1.2 format.

Thanks for the great update.

I think this function would be useful, because copy and paste function 
is not allow for tree note.
Tree node should be allowed for copy and paste.

Improving the way links are managed. 

MSFTEDIT.DLL (RichEdit v.4) understands the following RTF command:
{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "hyperlink"}}{\fldrslt{\cf1\ul textOfHyperlink}}}
This way links could use internal ID of nodes, and not the title, as
actually occurs, and so modifying titles or moving nodes will not break
links. Besides, it will be possible to distinguish between the text that is
shown (it could be clearer) and the link itself.

(In my other project -TESELA- I use this characteristic)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to search within note

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Results, by now I only get results from treeview, not from content.

What version are you using? On what operating system?
Funny thing is, that in binary 1.7.4rev2 from downloads that works.

Please provide any additional information below.
Either there is some change, or I compiled wrong code?

When the note is saved as plain-text ("Plain text only" is checked in
note's Advanced Properties) the new format of links doesn't work because
they will simply be ignored on reopening.
I will correct it using old format of links for that type of notes.

For example, it is not possible to format a paragraph so that first line is
indented to the rigth, like:

   First line ......
Second line.....

Also, first line indentation should admit negative values, because it is
relative to left indent. 
Another possibility is to rename the negative first line identation as
other type of especial identation (in spanish we named it as 'french
indentation' unlike positive indentation, properly 'first line indentation')
