bug report & feature requests

[revast]

hello, I tried newest from git, and it seems that the size of the notes do not get saved. So if I open a note, resize it to my needs, then close the program and open it again, it is at default size again. In 1.08, this still works.

Feature Requests: Would be nice to select the notes from tray icon, so click on the tray icon and then click on the note listed there. Extended version would be to make it configurable if you want to show only the notes there or the notebooks with their notes as submenu. That would be useful for powerusers.

Also, an option to only show the opened notes which were open the last time you used the program, so hide the main GUI at startup, would be nice, as well as "do not show interface at all at startup", so people could use it as a startup item in their session without having popping up nobleNote windows up each login.

What else: it would be nice if there was some auto-formatting for urls, as well as to mark a part of the note and format it as bash, (c, python if easy to accomplish) code snippet, or at least if comments have a different color.

Support for inserting images would be also cool, As I see you use html in the background.

thanks for this great program, it's by far the most lightwight & well working alternative to gnote and tomboy.

hi, thank you for your suggestions and for the praise :) First of all, could you please tell us what OS and version of Qt are you using? You can check the Qt version in nobleNote in the menu help->About. It's at the bottom of the text. I am asking, because I do not have any issues with the size (or position) of the notes. (Qt 5.4.1 on Ubuntu)

Would be nice to select the notes from tray icon, so click on the tray icon and then click on the note listed there. Extended version would be to make it configurable if you want to show only the notes there or the notebooks with their notes as submenu. That would be useful for powerusers.

We shall see what we can do about it. I do not have much time recently because of I might have to go to India in about 2 weeks for a month and then I would move to Japan...

an option to only show the opened notes which were open the last time you used the program Just don't close them. You can simply leave them open and close the program and start it again. ;)

On Debian based Systems an autostart won't be hard. I will have to check for Windows...

"do not show interface at all at startup"

That's easy. I might do that later. ;)

We shall see what we can do about it, but I can't promise you anything right now.

auto-formatting for urls was something we googled before but we didn't find a satisfying solution. The current implementation works by inserting a piece of html. Formatting a piece of text as bash (or any other programming language's syntax) would therefore also involve a dialog were you could paste the code snipped and then it gets converted as html and inserted. But that's probably not what you wanted.

its qt4.8 from repository, ubuntu 14.04 .

Right now the notes AND the main window get opened.

< On Debian based Systems an autostart won't be hard.

<< "do not show interface at all at startup" < That's easy. I might do that later. ;) nice ;)

I just suspected that qt should have that kind of functionality out-of-thebox.

Option for hiding main window at startup: Done. I'll take a look at "opening notes via tray icon" soon. Maybe I will push something on the coming weekend. ;)

thanks. works as expected. Sadly, under qt4.8, If I resize a window, its new size is still not preserved at the next startup of noblenote. In 1.08, this works flawlessly.

[nebomuk]

i can confirm that saving the note size is certainly somehow broken. Qt5 & ubuntu 15.04

[nebomuk]

the resize bug should now be fixed

[revast]

hm. no luck so far with qt 4.8.6 ubuntu 14.04...

[nebomuk]

I just found out that bug you described appears when closing the main window, not only individual notes. I just fixed that too.

[revast]

nice, works as expected now and replaces gnote so far.

[nebomuk]

let's close this issue because the bug has been fixed.
