Version 0.2 released 2006Feb09

ThoughtPad is a simple multi-document editor for taking and organizing notes quickly.

ThoughtPad is still in early development, only the most basic features work yet, and it has no documentation.

What Works:

You can edit in the text area.

Save, Save As, Rename, and Delete do pretty much what you'd expect.

The "path"/filename of a thought must start with a /, each directory is separated by a /, and directories and filenames can only contain letters, digits, dash (-), underscore (_), and period (.). The thoughts are actually stored under the directory $HOME/ThoughtPad.

If you don't like the default editor color or font, use Options to change it. Your colors, fonts, and screen position are remembered after you quit and restart.

Current Planned Features:

• Better text editor.
• Simple rich-text markup, stored in the files as HTML.
• Search all thoughts with regular expressions.
• Publish To Web command.
• Mark individual thoughts private, so they won't be published to the Web.
• Set alarms on items; I may figure out how to tie this into iCal.
