Thanks for your work on this, Samuel! And welcome to the app development team. You now have a developer blog, the developer symbol next to your name, and you're listed on the team page as well.

I made a few changes to the final release you can incorporate into later versions. I added a check to ensure it only switches languages with the platform so users not using it won't have it reset to English, also simplifying the language setup in the process. I added portablization of the recent files list. I added closing of the dbus-daemon since it won't properly close on its own which will prevent ejecting the drive. I also touched up the icon and did a few other small changes to the appinfo.ini.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thank John. Good to have it finally as an official App.

You found the dbus-daemon problem! I though I was having that problem sometimes because of cygwin and not from cherrytree...

Now, where can I find instructions about the upgrade procedures, regarding oficial apps (storage, pubishing...)?

Cheers,
Sam

Yeah, I had to figure out the dbus issue and ensure I only killed it when it was the portable one (and not one from a local app that uses it). You can see in the custom code how it works. I used the ProcFunc functions you can find in the forums here which are embedded into the PA.c Launcher.

For upgrades, you just pack it up and host it somewhere yourself (DropBox, Google Drive, etc) and then email a link and the details of any changes to the developer address on the contact page from your registered email for your account. We'll then download, scan for viruses, recompile, digitally sign, upload to SourceForge, then announce on the homepage with a post credited to your account (same as this one is).

Hi arindamc,
yes there is such a feature, see manual: http://giuspen.com/cherrytreemanual/Getting_Started--User_Interface--Men...

"...If you want to import from a previous note-keeping application, say Keepnote, pay particular attention to the fact that the import option points you to the Keepnote folder, not a file. To properly import from some of the other programs Cherrytree needs to pull information from several files in the other program's data folder. Just select the folder from the import dialog and Cherrytree will do the rest. Separate "notes" or pages will become separate nodes in Cherrytree."

But interesting to see, because due the same reason of not maintained KeepNote i came to Cherrytree ...(and it's worth :))

Kind regards,
Chris

Thank you so much. Looks like Cherry is the way to go.

Since you know both apps well, can you tell me in what ways does Cherry score over keepnote (besides the maintenance thing)?
