ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About PM Scrapbook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PM Scrapbook is an OS/2 2.0 32 bit application for the storage and organization
of files, notes and personal information. The organization of this information
is stored and graphically displayed in a heirarchical "tree" format. Each piece
of information consists of a an entry in the tree window, it's title and
detail.

PM Scrapbook contains a text editor for textual data as well as specialized
editors for some of the internal data types. PM Scrapbook also keeps track of
the dates associated with these entries for occasional house cleaning.

PM Scrapbook uses the following data formats/types:

Text           Free format text typed in or imported from files.

Address        Internal address book format consisting of name, area-code,
               phone number, extension, address and notes.

To-Do          Internal to-do list format consisting of event, date entered,
               target date, and completion date.

List           Internal general list format consisting of 2 columns of data
               with user definable column headings.

All data type editors allow you to select the font for that instance of the
editor. Each editor instance also remembers it's final window size and position
when saved. All editors (except the text editor) and the "Tree" view use the
OS/2 method of text entry: Hold down the Alt key on the keyboard and click the
left mouse button over the text area to be changed or added. Keyboard shortcuts
are also provided for mouse-free operation.

In addition to double clicking in the program icon, PM Scrapbook may be started
by dragging and dropping a file with an SCB extension onto the program icon.
You may also specify a scrapbook file in the parameters field in the Settings
for the program icon. This will cause PM Scrapbook to open that file on start
up.

Users of the FAT file system also receive the added benefit of being able to
attach long, descriptive names to files stored within PM Scrapbook.

This demo version allows only 7 entries per scrapbook. In the registered
version the number of entries is limited only by the amount of memory/disk
space on your computer.

PM Scrapbook is designed so that future data types and editors can be added or
enhanced without disturbing any files you have already created.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. PM Scrapbook Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Directories and files and the new OS/2 workplace shell are nice for organizing
your stuff. However, it's easy to end up with a cluttered hard disk as well as
a desk covered with scraps of paper containing phone numbers, notes and
reminders. In addition, those of us who are - for what ever reason - still
using the FAT file system have the extra burden of coming up with meaningful
names using 8 characters and a 3 character extension.

PM Scrapbook provides a means of storing files and information in one file
while still preserving the directory - or tree - concept.

Trees and directories are very similar. This document usually uses "tree" terms
to describe certain operations. The following should clarify these terms:

This is an excerpt from the tree window of a scrapbook. Every scrapbook has a
tree window. This window is a graphical representation of the information in
the scrapbook. Each icon (little picture) on the tree represents an entry in
the scrapbook. These entries may also be refered to as "leaves". The following
exemplifies common PM Scrapbook terms:

o "#0" is the "root".
o "#0" is the parent of "#1" and "#2".
o "#1" and "#2" are children of "#0".
o "#1" and "#2" are siblings.
o "#1" is the parent of "#3" and "#4".
o "#3" and "#4" are children of "#1".
o "#3" and "#4" are siblings.

And so on...

Each PM Scrapbook entry has a data - or information - type and an editor
associated with it. The editors vary depending on the data type, but they all
have certain things in common. The term "entries" will also crop up in terms of
the editors as well as the Tree window. For example, in the Tree window you may
have a To-Do List entry. When you open the editor for that Tree entry, it may
contain an number of things "to do". Each of those things will also be refered
to as entries.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Future Plans ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PM Scrapbook is designed so that new editors and data types can be easily added
to the existing architecture. This being an early release, there is always room
for improvement on what is already here.

This section lists the enhancements that I think PM Scrapbook needs or would be
nice to have. They aren't a commitment or guarantee. Whether or not these
enhancements are implemented or not depends on registrations and comments.
Remember, you' vote counts.

Concrete Plans

These are objectives that might, or might not make it into the next release
listed in the general order I plan to do them.

o Add ability to choose icons for entries.

o Store ZIPs. This seems redundant at first, but I personally have a ton of
  ZIPs stored in a huge pile of diskettes that I can't bear to part with
  because I know that, even though I don't need their contents now, I know I'll
  need them someday. It would be nice to organize them by function or whatever
  in a scrapbook. The editor would be more of a viewer and would, at first
  anyway, only allow you to view the contents of the ZIP.

o A directory contents archive/list thing. This would allow you to store
  directory/file info in PM Scrapbook. You could add descriptions for files (
  nice for FAT users ), use it as a diskette archiver, a snapshot taker,
  whatever.

o Store pictures and supply an applicable editor/viewer. What's a scrapbook if
  you can't keep pictures in it ?

o Add alarm type support. This would constitute the usual "once or reoccurring"
  messages and/or program launches.

o Add more function to the text editor.

o Each editor has an action bar (menu) duplicated in a pop-up context menu. If
  you are happy with context menus, you should be able to turn off the action
  bar and make more usable screen space.

o All of the editor windows are confined inside the main window. You should
  have the option of moving and sizing the editors anywhere you want on the
  desktop. In addition, you should have the option to minimize back to PM
  Scrapbook, the desktop or minimized window viewer.

o Any other handy information editors that come up.

Maybe Plans

These are vague ideas that would only get implemented if there was enough
demand from users or myself. These would require, for the most part, huge
amounts of effort which might be better spent on other pursuits. Namely,
working on the above list.

o Add search functions at the Tree level. This would allow you to search
  multiple entries for text, addresses, etc.

o Add a user-definable editor. You specify the number of columns, layout, etc.

o Add drag-drop support. It would be nice to drag information between PM
  Scrapbook instances. It would be nicer to bypass the clipboard and rearrange
  information with the mouse.

o Store binary files in PM Scrapbook. You could store executables, databases,
  etc. along with information about the program used to view/edit that file.
  There's not really much point in this if you can store archives.

o Printing. Being a closet tree-hugger and a big advocate of the paperless
  society, it would take a minor miracle or huge sums of cash for me to do
  this. Or could "huge sums of cash" be interpreted as a minor miracle ? I
  don't want to be redundant.
