PNotes Portable 3.5 Pre-Release 1 (2008-05-05)

Seems very final.
Oooh, when I've got PNotes running and starting the portable one, a red bunny is hobbling all over my screen
Nice!

when I installed this, I lost my notes from a previous release. I'm not sure which release I had before,but I'm pretty sure it was one of the DevTests. What do I need to do to recover my notes? Yes, I do have a backup.

Thanks,

Don

Although it's not exactly relative to PNotesPortable, but definitely relative to PNotes - I've added translation tool for program - PNTranslator. Very simple, just allows to see file against file and translate.

***IMPORTANT***
Requires .NET Framework 2.0
(it's not intended to be portable and, after all, I'm .NET programmer :))

hi there,

pnotes is really awesome! I have 1 issue which is autosave doesn't work for me - this version as well as the stable version.

Is there something I'm not doing right? Please advice! Thanks!

I just tried developement test 8 on Vista Ultimate, and it seems to work without problem and leaves nothing obvious behind.

Some users may be confused by the fact that it just shows up in the system tray with no menu or other interface present. How about we add a DefaultData and a default note positioned maybe 150px from the top and the same from the left of the screen.

Might make it easier for new users.

I just did a quick test with the dev test 10 on vista ultimate sp1, and it seems to work without problem and doesn't leave anything behind that I can see.

I also like Johns idea of have a default note on first launch. The fact that it only showed in the task bar did cause momentary confusion the first time I tried it.

temp files? I think that means we shouldn't be using that until the new menu comes out.
right?
Reason: Temp files are host computer, thus PNotes is leavig things on the host.

I didn't mean temp files in Temp folder. The files are created in the application's "data" folder.

How about we add a DefaultData and a default note positioned maybe 150px from the top and the same from the left of the screen.

I like this idea as well.

Oliver- The splash is ready for your pre-release. When you post tomorrow we'll give this a quick test. I already sent you the zip of the sample default note as well.

Edit: I updated it to use Zach's high res version of the logo. Thanks, Zach

I've just tried Pre-Release 1 on Vista Ultimate SP1, and it works well without leaving anything obvious behind. As well, the welcome note comes up as expected on first launch.

And just the last things...

You'll need to change !define NAME "PnotesPortable" to !define NAME "PNotesPortable" in the source. Change the legal copyright to PortableApps.com & Contributors, (or and contributors), but I spelled it wrong when I told you last time. You have a blank line at the end of the source. : O : P In Other\Source, you're missing AppSource.txt:

The source code for the base application in this package is available from the portable applications homepage mentioned in the help.html file.

In the PNotesPortable.ini, change WaitForPnotes=true to WaitForPNotes=true. In the help.html file, change Zach Hurdock to Zach Hudock (I don't know where everybody gets this r from : P). In the help.html file, genericisize the PNotes Portable-Specific Issues (Check Jooleem html), and if you want to can add a note on how to copy your local settings in the actual PNotes Portable page. There's a Thumbs.db in App\AppInfo, remove it. Compress the PNotes directory with the PortableApps.com Compactor unless it causes problems. Remove the InstallSize and PackageRevision lines from the appinfo.ini. The Catalan and Czech language files don't seem to have the right name. The PNotes executable shows the version as "3.5.0.106". I'd put that as the PackageVersion in the appinfo.ini, and then update the help file, DisplayVersion in the appinfo.ini, etc, to '3.5'.

That's it. Nicely done.

one thing about the german translation:

line 92:

8079=Notizen von älter Version importieren (vor 3.0)

should be changed to

8079=Notizen von älterer Version importieren (vor 3.0)

I let Lamer know it too.
