A propos
Apropos is a simple interface for keeping notes. I've intentionally tried to keep it pretty simple.
The interface looks something like this:
--------- | 1 | 2 | |-------------------------------------------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------------------------|
The notes are automatically loaded on startup, and saved on exit. No need (or possibility) to choose a file name.
It has the following functions, activated by keyboard shortcuts:
- create a new tab
- (re)name the current tab
- delete the current tab
- switch to the next tab on the right-hand side
- switch to the next tab on the left-hand side
- save all tabs
- load all tabs
- hide the application in the system tray
- exit the application
- list all keyboard shortcuts
- change language (for help and such)
Usage
The root of this repo contains a file called start.py which - as the name suggests - starts the application. It can be called without parameters, or with a filename. If no name is given, the notes file is loaded from the directory you started the application from- using a standard name - and is created if it isn't present.
Functionality is not guaranteed for Python < 3.5
It's possible to have what explanatory texts there are displayed in a language of choice, however currently only Dutch and English are available.
Some history
I started building this app using wxPython. To make it work under Python 3 I had to change GUI toolkits so I made a PyQt version.
Since the release of wxPhoenix, the wxPython version was reinstated and brought up-to-date. Just for kicks I also wrote a Gtk version.
Requirements
- Python
- either PyQt(5), wxPython(>=4) or Gtk(3) for the GUI part
Note that the current implementation uses pickle for storing the data, I'm in the process of changing that to something safer.
