hott notes 4.1 Released! Loads of bug fixes and new features

Postby joel » Wed May 16, 2007 8:49 am

hott notes version 4.1 is now available in the download section. This release fixes many of the top requested bug fixes and adds some features I think everyone will like. Here's a somewhat comprehensive list of changes:

Bug Fixes:
-Now compatible with Windows Vista.
-Edit dialog should be the correct size for those who experienced edit dialogs that were too small. Edit dialogs are also resizable to adjust size to user's taste.
-Scroll bar issues fixed. This includes scroll bars appearing for blank notes, scroll bars appearing when the note is big enough for its content, and scroll bars sometimes appear for scribble notes.
-Input focus now goes directly to text input when editing a note. This means as soon as you create a new note or double-click to edit a note, you can start typing immediately instead of clicking the text input area first. This was fixed for both message and checklist notes.
-Improved Ctrl+Enter support for exiting edit mode. Now Ctrl+Enter will not create a new checklist item in checklist notes and cause transparency issues.
-Alarm mode "just bring to top" fixed, doesn't play alarm sound anymore.
-Hidden notes, Quick Action box issue fixed. Now when you start hott notes with hidden notes, Quick Action boxes behave like they should.
-Changing note font size with size drop down now works like it should.
-Notebook status bugs fixed, so the Notebook should update to reflect the current state of your notes.

Features:
-Note Desktop allows you to view and edit your desktop notes without the distraction of other running applications. In Note Desktop mode, the screen is darkened except for your notes, which become fully opaque. Also, the main menu is easily accessible in the top-left corner. Since keeping notes visible when giving the Show Desktop command in Windows is not possible, the Note Desktop feature allows for similar functionality. You can also change the Win+S hotkey to show Note Desktop instead of brining all notes to front.

-Special shortcut creation. You can now create special shortcuts that issue commands to hott notes. For example, you can create a shortcut that shows the Note Desktop in hott notes in your Quick Launch toolbar or desktop. These shortcuts can be made from Settings under the General tab.
-Ctrl+Right-clicking a note will show the main menu. This is a fast way to access the hott notes main menu instead of right-clicking the tray icon. Right-clicking a note will bring up the menu for that note, but holding Ctrl while you right-click will bring up the main menu instead.
-Single-clicking the tray icon will bring up the main menu. Now you don't have to right-click it if you don't want.

If this version runs well for people, then I'll release a portable version that can run from flash drives.

Hey just did the install on Windows 7RC with Kaspersky AV. It went as smooth as butter. Now I can get reminded of my appointments ect. I am very tickled to see you are still working on Hott Notes, I hope you get a little money to help out. I am going to send beer money next month, but do not hold your breath...LOL

Be well and happy.
