Download Installation Files & feature request #123

Open goodev2021 opened 2 years ago

goodev2021 commented 2 years ago

Hi,

1 - Is it possible to provide releases or installation files. As i am a normal user but come across your application

2 - Does it have full text search to search the contents?

I am looking for a one which has the following

a. full text search i.e content search b. windows executable file for installation in computer/pc c. typ-ahead search with number of matches found on typing d. highlighting the search results and easy navigation (previous, next, first occurence and last occurence)

thanks

Prebuilts are listed in the README, Windows builds are available (altho quite big) as GHA actifacts: https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit/actions/workflows/windows.yml

For search, the idea is currently to use unix tools like g/re/p, but understandably, that doesn't work that well on Windows. An in-application search is being tracked in #71

I don't see the exe/bat/setup.exe of windows build in the above link. Can you please help me with the link where the executable windows file can be downloaded? download link

you click the latest build (the one on the top). It shows you the result of the action run and under the "artifacts" section a "NoteKit - Windows x86_64 nightly build". You press that and your browser should download a zip with the notekit build for x86_64 windows. The archive contains a notekit directory in where a notekit.exe is located. double click that (and accept that smart screen unknown publisher thingy on newer windowses) and notekit should run. There isn't an installer currently (since nobody automated that process yet, but if you want to contribute... :D ) so you could create a shortcut from that binary to your desktop/start menu/whatever.

  1. unable to see the search window or dialog or text window to search
  2. The current cursor in not shown many times
  3. Tooltip is missing for menus or optons

because there is none? As I've said

for now you need to use UNIX tools like g/re/p, which works quite well since GNU grep is feature complete and NoteKit stores Notes in a simple text format, than can be effortlessly searched externally.

The current cursor in not shown many times

this is an Pango on Win32 specific issue. But AFAIK installing the fonts in data/fonts/ should make it work. Should be listed in the README somewhere

Tooltip is missing for menus or optons

menus and options should either be clearly labeled or self explanatory. If you are unhappy feel free to contribute tooltips, with GTK tooltips are just a GObject property.
