What's New in Notepad 5.01
A couple of minor bugs were fixed. Notepad will install correctly now
irregardless of the default disk setting on your S3a.
New Icons by Phil Creed
Misc New Features:
. Tasklist - Pressing Shift<tab> from either view brings up a tasklist.
. When erasing notes, you can now leave the Due Date alone.
. Overall better error handling. (so you don't have to call me.)
New Setting
. Default Drive for Expanding Notes - This lets you set the default
drive for expanding a note, so you don't need to choose a drive each
time.
Project Viewer:
. Added new feature - Tidy - This will remove Due Dates from the Project
Viewer Database, but not from the note itself.
. Added new feature - Write a Report of Past Due (writes to \Wrd)
. The top window in the Project Viewer is open by default now. You can
still press Tab to toggle it on and off.
Text Editor Changes:
. Support for All characters.
. Added Calendar and Calculator to the menu
. Added Ctrl Shift<Del> to delete a word forward
. TaskList support via Shift<Tab>
. Bring now inserts data at the cursor
. Added new feature - Print Screen.
Application Linking
. If you create a new link and the app is already running, Notepad will
correctly assign the link. (This was not working)
Help Engine
. Screens always stay open when going to backround while in Help.
Calendar
. Bug fix - The Calendar was highlighting today in two places.
Alarms / Alarm Server
.If the Alarm Server is busy, having been left in an open dialog,
Notepad correctly says "Alarm Server Busy". Press any key to
cancel. This stops the current operation. Go into the Alarm Server
and get it back to the main screen.
The reason for this is because the Alarm Server and Notepad use the
same Alarm.dat file. Therefore both applications can't be using the
file at the same time.
Custom Piorities:
Added Sort option. This was an oversight that it wasn't in 5.0.
Oh well, you can't have everything. :^}
Priority Fonts:
The Custom fonts have been changed. Larger priority fonts have been
added for use with the two larger fonts.
Log File Change
You can now Append/Overwrite the Log File. This lets you keep the same
Log File without overwriting it each time you print to Log. (File)
Bring
When using Bring, the text coming in gets inserted at the cursor, like
it should.
New Utility
. Open Top Level Notepad - hotkey Psion<spacebar> opens top level.
Printing
. Printing Notepads now lets you set the numbers of lines per page.
Top Level Indicator
. Notepad now shows a Top Level indicator when it is currently display-
ing a Top Level Notepad. The indicator is next to the Alm heading, and
it looks like an arrow facing upward.
Fastnote
. Application has been fixed so that you can have it open while viewing
fastnote,exp in Notepad. However, you can't save a new note in Fastnote
while you have the fastnote.exp open in Notepad. If this does happen,
Fastnote will warn you that the file is busy, and give you a chance
to go into Notepad, change files, and go back to Fastnote.
. Modified the text editor to give an Exit Fastnote menu option when
calling the editor from Fastnote. In Notepad , you won't see this
option. This means that pressing Escape doesn't exit Fastnote anymore.
. Jump to Fastnote from Notepad using Shift<f>
Version Psion<v>
. New Screen design for Version window
