You non-conformists are all alike.

Notae 2.1 is knocking at the door, but I need some people to break it first. If you like integrating apps into your workflow, I’d love it if you poked at a beta Notae 2.1 for me. I think it’s done, but I do need some folks to test it, first.

A sample of what it can do:


tell application “Notae” activate make new document tell the front document make new note with properties {name:“Note 1”, note text:“Note 1”} set noteTwo to make new note with properties {name:“Note 2”, note text:“Note 2”} make new note with properties {name:“Note 3”, note text:“Note 3”} make new note with properties {name:“Note 4”, note text:“Note 4”}

make new tag with properties {name:“Tag 1”} set tagTwo to make new tag with properties {name:“Tag 2”} make new tag with properties {name:“Tag 3”} make new tag with properties {name:“Tag 4”}

add tag (tag “Tag 1”) to note 1 add tag tagTwo to noteTwo add tag (tag “Tag 3”) to note 3 add tag (tag “Tag 4”) to note 4 add tag (every tag) to note 1 add tag (tag “Tag 3”) to every note

export note 2 as native to (“Kalyke:Users:ahknight:Desktop:export” as alias) export (every note whose name is “Note 2”) as HTML to (“Kalyke:Users:ahknight:Desktop:export” as alias) without replacing export (every note whose note text contains “Note 2”) as text file to (“Kalyke:Users:ahknight:Desktop:export” as alias) with replacing

set theImportedNotes to import (“Kalyke:Users:ahknight:Desktop:export” as alias) set theImportTag to make new tag with properties {name:“Imported”} repeat with aNote in theImportedNotes add tag theImportTag to aNote end repeat

get the properties of every note whose tags contains tag “Tag 1” end tell
end tell

Result: {{paragraph count:1, creation date:date "Monday, July 16, 2007 2:55:57 AM", modification date:date "Monday, July 16, 2007 2:55:57 AM", size:360, editable:true, class:note, comment:"", note text:"Note 1", name:"Note 1", word count:2}}

If you’re interested, please use the contact form and let me know (use the Notae category).

If there’s something you want to be able to do via scripting that I didn’t demo above, please leave a comment and I’ll investigate doing it.

Sorry for missing the expiration date on this one. To self-update, move the date to 2007-01-14 and start Notae. Wait for it to start downloading and then move the date back. Or, download it below.

This is probably the final beta before I start calling RCs. Some things will have to wait until 2.1 at this point. I need to release sometime, and it’s looking pretty clean aside from one or two drag-and-drop issues with tags (that about five people will run into, really, because most folks use tag autocompletion).

If you’re waiting to see what 2.0 looks like, please get this and let me know if there’s anything crazy that doesn’t work the way you’d expect. Now’s the time to change it…

2.0b4 (310)

Bugs Fixed Since 2.0b3

  • Tag fields no longer require an extra return to save.
  • Dragging a tag to the table view now updates the header and info panel.
  • Added an “All” item at the top of each column in the tag browser.
  • The tag browser now filters out unused tags in the first column.
  • Resolved an issue where windows would not properly rotate with cmd-‘.
  • Resolved issue where the scroll bar would be clipped on new documents until the header was hidden then shown.
  • Resolved an issue where the relative date cell would display white text even when not key.
  • Resolved an issue relating to the Notes menu and notes without titles.
  • The split view now collapses properly to hide the table view.

New Features Since 2.0b3

  • Notae can now import URL clippings (webloc files) as web archives (drag a URL to the desktop to create one).

The third beta expired today, I know. I’m going to have something out later today. Check back in a few hours or tomorrow morning.

If you need to use it right now just set your clock back for a moment, open Notae, and then fix the clock.

I just pushed out 2.0b2. The first beta will expire in a few days (the 15h) so you should get the new one if you’re using the betas. It should auto-update to the new one (just tested it) if you have that turned on.

Participate

Head on over to the development site and get a copy of the program. If you want to file bugs, the instructions are on the front page of that site. If you just want to see what’s changed, there’s a change log available as well (delta log is below).

I just posted 2.0b3 to fix a resizing problem with text notes. Damned Interface Builder busting up my NIBs …

Just to clear up some confusion for many of the folks emailing me: the beta really is an open beta. The registration is just to file bugs. Now, of course, I’d love to have everyone filing bugs on 2.0, but it’s not strictly required. Just hit the development site and download a copy to start playing with it. That copy will expire on December 15th.

Also, if you’re testing, it would be very good to subscribe to the beta mailing list as well. It’s linked off the main development page.
