#1 Interface Bugs

[J-G]

I would like to first say, I find this a small but beautiful program that fits my needs. I enjoy using it and would like to help make it better. To that end I would like to note a few bugs:
1) After filling in a line of text in a child note, I inserted a symbol (Insert-Symbol), I chose the symbol font for the insert, and then chose a symbol. The correct symbol was inserted and then the entire line was changed to that font.
2) I copied an pasted a line of text that contained a symbol font character and all other text changed to the symbol font on pasting.
3) When starting the program it opens as a very small box in the center of the screen. It would be nice if it would open the previously used note file.
4) The menu item Format-Color-Choose Note Color does not do anything. The same is true for the icon to change Note Color.

I am running Windows-2000.

I am eagerly awaiting updates and would like to express my gratitude for the availability of this program.

Thanks for your comments. EasyNotes is entirely based on the wxRichTextCtrl of the wxWidgets library. As such I can't directly control most of the problems with the actual rich editor control. However there have been some changes to wxRichTextCtrl and when wxWidgets 3 becomes available I will see if it has resolved some of these issues. I will forward these bugs to the developers of wxWidgets.

The same is true for the color support, wxWidgets 2 doesn't have support for note color yet, but it is supposed to be available in wxWidgets 3. I will check to see if the latest stable includes it (wxWidgets 2.8.7).

I will implement #3 by 0.5 which shouldn't be long, and fix a few more small bugs.

I have applied the following to SVN:

- Load the files from the previous run of EasyNotes (TODO: make it an option)
- Properly handle end session events to correctly save options during shutdown

0.5.0 has been released, but due to a bug in session handling in wxWidgets, end session is not handled as it should (shutting down/logging off Windows). However, if exiting the application it will save the currently open files and reload then the next time it is loaded.
