KeyNote NF Last version (Beta)
For those of you who want and can test new funcionality before new version is released:
This executable (1.7.7 Beta) includes the following issues:
- Issue #101 : Import files by dropping them on the tree
- Issue #96 : Search -> Find... only works on one note, won't search all notes
- Issue #74 : The treeview in the options dialog is editable
- Issue #71 : Node can become unchecked when moving, in a special situation
- Issue #70 : Status bar doesn't reflect correctly the modified state of the file
- Issue #62 : Keynote NF won't open in maximized window state
- Issue #58 : Minimizing button does not work
- Issue #29 : Sound for Alarm
- Issue #73 : Allow to enable or disable alarm popups
The executable can be downloaded from: http://groups.google.com/group/keynote-nf/files
I forgot to say that language files (.lng) are specific to each version. So, if Beta version doesn't include languages files, you will have to try it in English
Soon I will publish a new BETA (this one with language files included, probably) with the following improvement: all the functionality of the program will manage properly UNICODE strings.
20 sept 2009: I have uploaded a new executable (
1.7.7 Beta 2) that includes the issue mentioned:
Before releasing the new version of KeyNote NF I will correct some of the defects identified in the issue list.
07 june 2010: Soon I will release the version 1.7.9, but I think that maybe many of you will like to test the corrections and prefer not to wait to the other few issues I will include to begin using the new beta.
So, I have uploaded a executable (1.7.9.1 Beta 1) that includes the following issues:
- Issue #61: Improve lists (bullets and numbered lists): different styles, sublists, ...
- Issue #325: Relative paths in Links (relative to .knt file)
- Issue #251: Alarm Text Entry can make KeyNote to crash
- Issue #258: Alarm date displayed incorrectly when the day was the same as today
- Issue #224: Alarm window - date/time selection conflict - see screenshot
- Issue #306: Exception setting alarm in no saved files (untitled)
- Issue #77: Note display corrupted on resizing
- Issue #107: Name of new nodes created by 'New node from selection' and clipboard capture with option 'use clipboard text' may be too long
- Issue #264: Clipboard Capture with 'New node name' set to 'Use clipboard tex'" can cause the program to crash
- Issue #136: Find with 'search all notes' can cause Keynote to close
- Issue #198: Chinese characters detected erroneously as UTF8 in import
- Issue #202: Cyrillic plain text in old .knt files is shown as Western characters
- Issue #200: Inconsistent bullet indentation
- Issue #208: Notes with links scroll on save
- Issue #213: Clicking URLs in About menu results in Unexpected error: Invalid class typecast
- Issue #242: Links incorrectly formed in Windows 7
- Issue #227: Tab key causes tab to be inserted even if Note is set to "Read Only"
- Issue #247: Exit with automatic saving causes Keynote to open minimized next time
- Issue #279: Search all notes function can cause address violation
- Issue #288: Underscores are dropped while exported to single target files
- Issue #294: Minor bug on "Set Bookmark" and "Jump Bookmark" keyboard shortcuts
The executable can be downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/keynote-nf/downloads
Note that the language files you have for the actual version (1.7.8) will not be applicable to this version. With the release of the final 1.7.9 version I will incorporate all the language files updated.
08 aug 2011: I have uploaded a new executable (
1.7.9.2 Beta) that includes the following issues:
- Issue #395: Keynote NF doesn't open my file, "buffer error"
- Issue #325: Relative paths in Links (relative to .knt file)
18 aug 2011: A new Beta is available (
1.7.9.3 Beta) that includes the following issue:
Keep up the good work! :)
Coud not load the Beta. Link not valid.
It's a temporary problem of Google Groups. Please, try it later.
Keep up the great work!!!
Vamos que te ayudo como pueda con esto, traducirlo al español si queres...
Hola Juancho, me parece fenomenal. Como habrás comprobado incluí una traducción parcial al español, como ejemplo de cómo funcionaba. La podría haber acabado pero he estado volcado con otras cosas. Ahora por ejemplo estoy relizando numerosos pequeños cambios para que KeyNote? NF trate adecuadamente los códigos UNICODE en cualquier parte del programa: árbol de nodos, nombres de notas, mensajes, etc.
En la incidencia número 23 explico cómo realizar las traducciones: http://code.google.com/p/keynote-nf/issues/detail?id=23
Si tienes algún tipo de duda, pregúntame sin problemas Muchas gracias
The Unicode encoding management is needed cruelly!! Thank you in advance..
Hola. Primero agradecerte el tiempo y la dedicación que estas poniendo en mejorar Key Notes. Dicho esto, hay un detalle que me gustaría preguntarte y que he echado en falta en esta herramienta. Seria posible mejorar la inserción de imágenes sin que el archivo generado engorde ostensiblemente. No tengo conocimientos de ingles ni de programación, al menos al nivel que tu te mueves, pero si en algo te puedo ayudar házmelo saber, estaré encantado. Un saludo.
Hola lennykg Sobre la cuestión que señalas de las imágenes y cómo hacen engordar el archivo .knt ya se han abierto varias incidencias. Todavía no me he podido poner con ese asunto aunque te adelanto que no es trivial por la forma en que se almacenan las imágenes en el formato RTF. Como mínimo una cosa que haré muy pronto será ofrecer la posibilidad de trabajar directamente con el archivo .knt comprimido. Eso mejorará algo las cosas. Sobre la posibilidad de ayudar al proyecto: de momento usando la aplicación y señalando errores o posibles mejoras ya es una ayuda; especialmente si pruebas la versión marcada como Beta.
Un saludo y muchas gracias por tu interés
I love this program! keep up the good work.
Sweet. Thanks.
nice program, I love it to replace my unregistered mybase desktop... keep up the good work...
This is one of three or four applications I use EVERY DAY. Thanks for continuing work on this great piece of software! :)
Great Work. I've used for years and wrote the wallcalendar plugin. If anyone has a copy of UAS could they email to me please I have lost mine. Many thanks. Wallace
Please please add the ability to resize the alarm window in your current version release. Fantastic aplication, great work, thanks!
I'm going to include some improvements to alarm management in 1.7.9
Great tool. I have used it for years and because it doesn't require installation i carry it with me. Great work.
Thank you for keeping this tool updated. I've been using it for compiling all the church service songs chords and lyrics. I use this with my photography - techniques notes projects. Most of all thank you for keeping this free ! open source too!
@frankgmr you mean it's portable already?..as in the new vesrion .exe file is independent and can run from USB? I better try it!
Very very useful little app. Muchas gracias!
Just discovered Keynote NF. I'm using Keynote as a local database. The first thing I'm missing is an option to duplicate a note. Would be great if this could be added.
hi daniel. am very happy to see you picked up development of keynote (and will be happy to provide feedback on bugs/etc.). @wembley
hi Daniel. I am a big fan of KeyNote?. Used KeyNote?-NF a year ago but it was buggy back then. I've just tried the latest version & LOVE IT! Thanks for your effort. Been taking notes for like 3 years! :)
Hi, I'm so sorry That your excellent program cannot build relative paths. For this reason it could not be fully used on a Stick!
Hi armandmaas, there is an easy workaround to duplicate notes. You can use Tools -> Merge notes.. and select the same file you have open (save changes first if its necessary). You can then select one or several notes to include (in this case to dupplicate)
Hello, dkfm.mayer, I see you have posted and deleted later two comments related to problems with links. I suppose that you were not using last (beta) version of KeyNote? NF. If you finally installed that last version, have you looked inside Issue #325: Relative paths in Links (relative to .knt file) ?
Don't forget that not absolute paths are relative to the folder where the file .knt is found. And that when you insert a link to a file it will be absolute by default, although you can delete part of that reference to make it relative. "c:\somefolder\myfile.knt" to "myfile.knt", for example.
Please, if you have problems with that functionality, include the comments in the corresponding issue. Thanks
I tried the original keynote way back in the day and loved it. I am so glad to see that someone has taken up the torch and continued development on this wonderful software. Keep up the good work! It's awesome!
It's fantastic this programm. I looked a long time for something like this. Please go on in with it!
I downloaded it last night. Great program. I'm trying out the Beta. Will there be an update soon?
Everything works but spell checker. Any suggestions on how to get this working will be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work. I've used the trial offers of several expensive outlining programs, but I like this better. Amazing!
Please add "Find Previous" function!
About the increase in size when importing images, I'd suggest creating a subfolder where the application could copy the pictures and refer to them similarly to the way the HTML does (if it is not easy for the application, we could do it manually, and link them), I mean only showing them instead of storing them. Personally, in this situation I use to copy the images to a specific local folder and then create a link to the image file. It is not perfect, as I can't see the image inline with my text, but it works.
Yes, that's one of my ideas of new features: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/keynote-newfeat/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=24
This is a great program, I've tried several and Keynote stands out. There is one thing I miss, though:
Besides nodes, is it possible to add checkboxes to text and make todo lists?
I get lots of e-mails with lists of things to do, and I need to copy them and add checkboxes. I would love if could do that in Keynote.
Hi Daniel, I like this program enormously and I use it all the time. Thank you for your truly great work. I have a question regardig beta. At the moment I'm still using the 'true' version (1.7.8.1), but would like to try the newest beta. I understand that all I have to do is to copy the un-rared executable to the installation directory, is that right? Also, with those many new features, is any new 'help' available?
Hello Mariank49 I recommed everybody to use the last version. It solves many questions, as you can see in this wiki. In the following direction it is explained how to use beta versions:

Hi Daniel this is Mansi from India. I just loved ur work and many many thanks for carrrying forward such an intelligent concept. Finally i was able to give up ever classic " The Guide" bcoz the features i saw in ur program were simply superb and this increases my hunger even more.And thus some doubts. Since i m not much techie can u plz tell me if i can password protect my .knt file, bcoz i read that it offers strong encryption but i was not able to find this option anywhere. plz help me if i m missing sthg. Secondly i did notice that inserting even small images like 50Kb types makes the total file size run into MB's. Thirdly is there a feature in software where i can keep the screenshots of webpages as treenodes? dont want it to refrence html file seperately but just make a snapshot of webpage which consists of text and images(not necesarily in exact format but just for reference) Also when i enabled clipboard monitoring , it worked like a charm , except it cud not pick up "print screen" images.
I m sorry if i bothered u with my bombarding questions, but plz do help me if u have some spare time. Thanks , MANSI
Hi! I love this program. I'd like to be able to give different nodes different passwords.
Hi Is this an active Wiki...not sure it looks very active, but I've been a long time KeyNotes? (though not very sophisticated) and glad to see the newer version.
