My Jreepad is filling up with more and more data, and just becomes more and more useful all the time. I use it throughout the day. Love it. :) I find that one of the things I'm using Jreepad for is to help keep track o= f tasks that need to be done for various projects at work. It would be awfull= y handy if nodes could be created with a little checkbox next to them. I don't know what the best way to implement that would be. You wouldn't really want a check box next to EVERY node you ever create. Just the "tasks= " ones. Maybe that's how to do it... Have an special button for creating "Tas= k nodes" that have a checkbox. Thanks, ~Steve |

Any chance that encryption will be implemented in Jreepad? The way I'd envision this is that the program would prompt for a password upon launch. If the password is correct, the data is decrypted and the program opens. Closing the program would automatically re-encrypt the data. I run Jreepad from a thumbdrive, so currently I'm a little reluctant to store pins, account#'s, passwords, etc in Jreepad, in the event that I might lose the thumbdrive or it gets stolen. Encryption would be a very good thing. :) Thanks, Steve -- "Reason and Respect in all you think, say and do" |

Hi Dan, Another little suggestion... Would it be possible to save the state of the outline tree so that when you open up the program again, the tree will open up like it was when you closed? As it is, when you start the program, the tree is always completely collapsed, and I have to go thru and re-open all the nodes that I prefer would always stay open. (for example, I always want my "Todo" nodes open, s= o I immediate see the ticklers as soon as I open Jreepad without having to do any extra clicking) Oh, and by the way, I really like how you implemented the search feature. The incremental search works very nicely. ~Steve |

Dan, I get the feeling that you and I are the only two people on this list. :) Oh well. That's OK. It's fun having a "direct connection" to the author of an app I use. :) It's a "no go" with the 3Day app I mentioned the other day. It runs off of my thumbdrive, and it runs fine on my PC. But it won't run on my Mac, and for me that's a showstopper. At this point, I think I'm going to stop looking, and kinda stay put with Jreepad. It works very well for me. And if you keep tweaking it here and there, it'll only get better. Is there any chance that you could make the font configuable? The default font/size is pretty small for my 50 year old eyes. :) Thanks again Dan. ~Steve On 12/21/05, Dan Stowell <dan...@gm...> wrote: > > Thanks for the comments Steve.

Thanks for the comments Steve. I'll be working on a new release (only minor changes/improvements most likely) in the new year.

As a follow-up to my last post... I actually found an interesting java app. It's the 3Day Organizer from 3DayComputing.com It's not really an "outliner" (although it does have that functionality to an extent). Something that it does have that looks interesting is a "Lists" feature. The program seems to have a fair amount of "spit and polish". But it's also not free. :( It's $35. There is a trial version, but the list feature doesn't seem to work in the trial version. Anyway... It's pretty interesting. It's a Java app, and it runs off of a thumbdrive fine. ~Steve On 12/19/05, Steve Dowell <sd...@gm...> wrote: > > Quick note... > > I spent some time this weekend looking for Java based outliners.

Quick note... I spent some time this weekend looking for Java based outliners. I wanted t= o see what else was out there. Not much. :) I found JOE (Java Outline Editor) on sourceforge, and a programming editor called jEdit. jEdit was overkill, and is really focused more toward coding rather than outlining. I couldn't even get JOE to run. I found one other one, but I can't remember it's name. But it was TOO basic= . No bells and whistles whatsoever. So anyway... Jreepad appears to be the best general purpose java-based outliner app out there so far. ~Steve |

I recently got a 1GB thumbdrive at Thanksgiving. So I'd been keeping an eye out for some interesting "portable apps" (not necessarily thinking about outliners) that I might be able to use on it. That's how I ran across Ecco Pro a couple of weeks ago. I've been running Ecco from my thumbdrive on my PC, and really enjoyed it, but was annoyed that I couldn't access the data from my iBook. So then I started doing Google searches for things like "cross platform PIM java PC OS X", etc, in hopes of finding a PIM that I could use on a thumbdrive from both my PC and Mac. That's how I ran across Jreepad. It doesn't have all the nifty bells and whistles that Ecco does, but the fact that it's cross platform makes up for it. Yeah... I do see it on versiontracker (and it's got 5 stars!) :) =20 Maybe you should add something to your description like "Will run from a thumbdrive on both PC's and Macs". You know... Push the fact that it's a "portable app". If you're thinking of changing some keyboard shortcuts, then I'd like to toss out a couple of ideas for making shortcuts more intuitive... Currently the arrow keys let you move your focus around existing nodes. I think it'd make sense to use ctrl-arrow keys for moving existing nodes up or down, in or out (currently you're using U, D, ]=20 and [ for that). This idea might also be used when adding siblings and children. Hitting ENTER from a node currently adds a sibling. Ctrl-ENTER could add a child (but even if you accidently hit ENTER, you could easily turn it into a child with a ctrl-right arrow). :) I also think the normal DELETE key should be able to remove a node (rather than ctrl-K). About the floppies... Yep, I definitely remember floppies. :) I'm 49= . Thanks again, Steve On 12/17/05, Dan Stowell <dan...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > Thanks for the message!

Hi Steve, Thanks for the message! You're right that there's not a lot of community activity around Jreepad - it's still just a one-person project which I develop occasionally (but I use it every single day). Development will continue, absolutely, but I'm not currently intending to make it an all-singing all-dancing program, so don't expect many jazzy new feature announcements. I like the idea of it being a slimline simple app that can fit on thumb drives etc. (It can even fit on a floppy disk! Are you old enough to remember those?) Someone else had a problem with Ctrl-\ and so I'll change the shortcut in the next release, to Ctrl-H. (For the time being, there's an alternative on Windows: Alt-E and then C.) What would be helpful for me would be to know where you looked when you were searching for a suitable outlining app. I do put information on software-categorising websites such as versiontracker and freshmeat. Did you use sites like that? Or did you just search the web, or...?

I just downloaded Jreepad this morning, and thought I'd join this list to say "Thanks very much!" to the author. Doesn't look like there is anything happening on the list. Bummer. :( Maybe you could provide a link to this list in the Readme or something. At any rate... For the past couple of weeks I've been looking for an outlining app that I can run on my thumbdrive and use on both my personal Mac iBook AND on my laptop PC that I use for work. Jreepad does the trick perfectly! Thank you very much Dan for making this available. The only funky thing I've run across so far is that, when running the java version, some of the shortcut keystrokes don't work (for example ctrl-\ to create a child node). But I can still just click on the icons on the menu bar, so no big deal. In a way, this is sort of like "coming back home". I used Treepad a number of years ago when it first came out, and even corresponded with the author a couple of times. Now, several years later, I'm back using Jreepad, which is nearly the exact same thing. Pretty cool. :) So anyway... Thanks for making this app available Dan. I really appreciate it. I hope that you continue development on it. Have a look at the Ecco Pro app from netmanage (it's freely available now). I'm sure you may be able to pick up some good ideas from that (like some special templates for appointments, todo ticklers, and phonebook). Thanks, Steve D. |

Well hello there! I've just established this list for users of Jreepad. Of course, there's nothing happening on the list yet, since I've only just created it. Best, Dan |
