Add a place in the preferences dialog to add/modify the stylesheet

For example, ctrl+b for bold, etc. This would really speed up the note-taking process.

In order for your application to be fully accessible on the desktop, you will need to provide a desktop file named com.github.philip-scott.notes-up.desktop. This file lets everyone know what icon to use, what file to run, and any alternative actions that can be ran.

• elementary Getting Started

Affects: 1.3.0 release

It's a little weird that links are opened in the notebook... which doesn't have any of my session details or browser navigation 😉

It'd make more sense to hand off links to the system default browser.

I followed the install instructions on the README.md file and was not able to install Notes-Up. In addition, I tried building the application from source and was not able to. Overall, the main cause was that I had outdated libraries; especially the libgranite library.

The preview pane ought to render markdown edited text as well, instead of displaying the raw text.

I would like to have syntax highlight for code snippets on a note, it's one of the most basic features from a markdown editor and this is what's missing for this app become even better.

Thanks for support and this great app.

It would be nice to access my notes from other computers and from my cell. The simplest way would be to allow the notes to be saved in a directory of my choice. The subdirectories could respect the notebooks hierarchy as well. Keep images and .md files within each folder and thats it.

Would you consider something similar? Keep up! Great application!

There should be a simple undo right from the UI when you delete a page.

Pages are actually being sent to the user's trash for the time being, but there should be a one click undo in case you mis-clicked

elementary HIG: Always provide an undo

Header with double hash ##

with single hash #

The title shifts to the center for the main header as you can see. Looks to me like a bug.
Id, wish something could be done to make the font consistent too but I guess that has nothing to do with the application.

Using Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) you get this error:

$ sudo apt-get install notes-up

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 notes-up : Depends: libgranite3 (>= 0.2.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

libgranite-common - extension of GTK+ libraries (common files)
libgranite-dev - extension of GTK+ libraries (development files)
libgranite2 - extension of GTK+ libraries
libgranite2-dbg - extension of GTK+ libraries (debugging symbols)

With custon renderer, we can add more features (like math equation) ourselves.

Notes go missing when there is a character like " / " in the first header. Not sure if it is the only character that provokes this behavior, would be interesting.

e.g. A note that starts like this disappears after closing and reopening Notes-up:

Issue One / Two

Sometimes Notes-up even crashes because of that.

• freedesktop

Affects: 1.3.0 release

If you change notebooks or while the app loads, the current note does not get selected, causing you to loose changes if you select it again :/

I know this app is intended for Elemenary, but it would be awesome to have an AppImage package for other distributions.

Have a look : http://appimage.org/

I would love to be able to use your app on Fedora.

Thx anyway for your hard work !

Select whether to sort pages via:

• Alphabetical
• Creation Date (Current)
• Modification Date

It would allow for integrating between different apps easily, and allow actions such as "Send by email" and print directly.

Hi,

Any chance getting spell checking functionality into Notes-up?

Thank you.

It would be great if it supported check list items, like Github itself. This would allow you to also use this app as a todo app.

I want to see an ability to create your own themes for editor part.

When trying to build the updated the Notes-Up application, I am getting the following error message:

From what I can gather, WebKitNavigationAction only exists in webkit2gtk-4.0. I saw in the CMakeLists.txt file that there is a check for both version 3 and 4 of webkit2gtk. But when adding the dependencies to the compilers, webkit2gtk-4.0 is specified. Below is a link to what I am referring to.

Notes-Up CMake File

I've noticed that there isn't an option to have a title, subtitle etc. by the controls, but it's available if written manually. Have you considered this? I'm willing (albeit inexperienced) to work on this, if you tell me how you want it. I've already succeeded in adding a button that adds h1, /h1 tags in the same way that other tags work, but I think that some kind of spinner or something that would group those different title sizes would be better...

Well, would be it possible to implement a more complex notebook stack? For example "chapters" as a subtree to a notebook? Should help with large quantities of notes.

One of the deps is not found: E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gtk-3.0-25-dev'.
It is probably one of those two, I assume the 2nd.

libwebkit2gtk-3.0-25 - WebKit2 API layer for WebKitGTK+
libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev - WebKit2 API layer for WebKitGTK+ - development files

When calling cmake I get:

Now there are a few possible deps that could fit:

libgranite0 - extension of GTK+ libraries
libgranite-dev - extension of GTK+ libraries (development files)
libgranite-common - extension of GTK+ libraries (common files)
libgranite2 - extension of GTK+ libraries
libgranite3 - extension of GTK+ libraries

libgranite-dev made it.

Now vala is Missing:

There are tons of vala packages, but I installed valac and cmake finished fine.

So the final deps are:

sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libgtksourceview-3.0-dev libgranite-dev valac

Now I ran make and tried to start notes-up and get the following error (using the latest git):

./notes-up 

(Notes:5925): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.notes' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I could not resolve this issue for now.

I tried glib-compile-schemas ../schemas/. It gave me a gschemas.compiled file, but that did not help.

I found the same file in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled so you probably have to place the xml to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/? But I guess there is something wrong with the cmake in this case.

This solved the issue, but is probably not the best solution:

sudo cp ../schemas/org.notes.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

When starting the app I get the following errors:

./notes-up

Also I am wondering if notes-up would work with other distributions, especially for arch linux.

Sorry, to flood requests but a search feature would be nice, preferably full text.

Have the app auto save every minute to avoid data loss in the event of a power-surge or having the app killed. Currently it saves when you change pages, view your notes & after closing if there was a change

The app is not displaying accents

Maybe the app encoding is not UTF-8?

When a new notebook is created and the marker color chosen it always switched to default black color.
So I have to go to editing the notebook properties and selecting the color again - then it works.

be able to open markdown files with this app. The window that appears will be a "simplified" version of the app, with no notebook & pages list

Unless there is a specific way of deleting multiple pages from a notebook, I believe this would be a good feature to add. Right now the process is to select a page and click the delete button.

A possible solution would be to:

• Hold down Control to be able to select multiple pages
• Either click the delete button or hit the delete key on keyboard

Hello, when i try to export the markdown file to pdf it only creates a file of zero bytes

When performing an out-of-source build, e.g.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd .. 

files in the source directories are changes/created (src/config.vala and various files in deps/discount). I would expect that the source directories are not touched and instead all files are generated within the build directory.

I'm gonna reinstall Loki soon, how can i save my Notes Up content for a new Notes Up installation ?

Thanks,

I am using Notesup in combination with Seafile and am not sure the following problem is as a result of this.

My .notes folder is moved from its native location to the Seafile folder, with a shortcut to that folder is pasted in the native folder. Suppose I write a note "This bug is destroying my work," and close Notesup in the "edit view." Next time I open it up, the contents of the note are gone. The note file "This bug is destroying my work" shows up as a 0kb file in the file browser, and looks like this in the application;

The Future is Plugins!

There should be some kind of plugin API where you could easily do things such as charts, insert websites, and even more advanced stuff like LATeX support.

Plugin ideas:

• Attach Documents: Use some kind of viewer like http://viewerjs.org to display PDFs, Word docs etc
• Import code: Instead of copy-pasting code, have it so you can link to the document on your computer
• LATeX
• Simple Graphs & Charts
• Syntax highlighting
• Insert videos without embedded code
• Color chooser

Is there any possibility of adding syncing via SimpleNote or other online note syncing service?

Thank you.

When I create a New Notebook and i select the color, i have to edit it so it select the color and it saves it.

And well...
I don't know if it is a bug but when i open the window to create a new notebook and then i open another program the window to create the new notebook keeps at the front until i cancel it or i create a new notebook.

Cheers

Well, I think I have complained enough, here is a contribution. Make your pick for the icon;

I am using the rightmost for myself at the moment. Looks more playful.

You should create a github release and also add a date to the readme of version 1.1

First Line of the Notes is taken as Notes Title.
But If I add any markdown to first line to make it bolder or something, Note Title was taken with Mark Down.

OS: Ubuntu 15.10
Kernel: 4.2.0-35

Was not able to rename any notebooks by right clicking inside the notebook list.

Or introduce a keyboard shortcut to go straight to the edit pane, as an additional choice to the "view" and "edit" buttons on the header bar.

When writing some snippets of code in Notes-u, it highlights the spelling in edit mode and shows a blank page in view mode. Maybe it's a good idea to keep the script highlighted in view mode and not to try to execute it?

Oh, and remembering my prior report. This is my system configuration:
Elementary OS Freya 0.3.2 64-bit
Processor: Quad-Core Intel Core i5-2300
Graphics: NVIDIA GF116 (GeForce GTX 550 Ti)

It would be great to have pandoc export capabilities. My notes are scientific in general, and sometimes I need to produce handouts. If I could export them into LATeX, so I could print them with a nice template like tufte-handout, that would be awesome. If you have some time, have a look at the Rmarkdown package, it works wonders already, but have it bolted into this app would be amazing. Please share a bitcoin address for donations!

It's all in the title. But here's the boring terminal output in case you need it.

** (Notes:14818): ERROR **: Notebook.vala:66: Error renaming directory: File names cannot contain '/'
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Are there any plans in the future?

Dragging and dropping notes (or right click to move functionality) from one section or subsection to another is absent. Should be a useful enhancement.
