NoteKeeper 0.9 Splash Screen

Tolon NoteKeeper 0.9.9 is now available.

This release fixes a bug that stopped NoteKeeper 0.9.8 from working on Vista. Apologies for doing another release so soon, but this little bug had a big impact on Vista users.

Thanks to George Fleming for reporting the bug.

The latest version can be downloaded from http://www.tolon.co.uk/software/notekeeper/download.

Best Regards,
Tolon.

NoteKeeper 0.9.8 Released

August 15th, 2009 No comments

NoteKeeper 0.9.8 Splash Screen

Tolon NoteKeeper 0.9.8 (build 20090817) is now available.

This release fixes a few bugs and also brings a few long overdue updates.

The first one you’ll notice is that NoteKeeper now supports Windows XP/Vista visual styles, so it’s now a bit snazzier. Similarly, the Open and Save dialogs have been updated.

There’s a change to the new note logic so that creating a new note on a folder will create it in that folder and not as a sibling. I think this has been bugging a few people for a while, so hopefully it’s a bit more intuitive now (if not, let me know!).

Thanks to everyone who helped in suggesting new features, reporting bugs or just sending me a note telling me how useful (or not), NoteKeeper is.

The latest version can be downloaded from http://www.tolon.co.uk/software/notekeeper/download.

Best Regards,
Tolon.

Enchanté

Welcome to the second article exploring how to integrate the spell checking library Enchant into your Visual C++ applications.

I will be using this library with my freeware program NoteKeeper, which I am currently maintaining/developing in two versions of Visual C++.

  • Visual C++ 6 SP6 with STLPort 5.1.5, Multithreaded DLL
    (cl.exe v12.00.8804, link.exe v6.00.8447)
  • Visual C++ 9 SP1, Multithreaded DLL
    (cl.exe v15.00.30729.01, link.exe v9.00.30729.01)

NoteKeeper 0.9.7 Splash Screen

Tolon NoteKeeper 0.9.7 (build 20090101) has now been released.

This is a bug-fix release that addresses a couple of issues that couldn’t wait for 0.10.0. The specific bug fixes are:

  • Text conversion utils should now behave if there are no Microsoft Converter dlls installed.
  • State of the MDI child windows should now be remembered between sessions.
  • Standard registry settings are no longer changed as part of the installation routine.

Big thanks go to Patricio Silva and Daniel Beardsmore for helping identify the problems.

The latest version can be downloaded from http://www.tolon.co.uk/software/notekeeper/download.

Best Regards,
Tolon.

For some inexplicable reason, I’ve recently started to feel a bit disconnected with all the NoteKeeper users out there.

A few years ago I used Yahoo! Groups to keep in touch with users by discussing various features and announcing new versions. It worked well; users were able to tell me what was good and what was not so good and I attained a wholesome feeling of being on the path to better software. Unfortunately it got a bit neglected whilst I was busy with other things and ended up being hijacked by spammers.
