Dear Matt Rasmussen,

Thank you very much for the release of version 0.6.2 with many bugs fixed. Here I would like to request some new functions and I hope these can be added to the later version of Keepnote.

1. Drug to import folders. As I decide to use Keepnote for daily files arrangement, I found it was not so easy to attach a lot of files. So it should be very ease if Keepnote might import a folder/folders already exist.

2. Open the folder where the page located Often, I should open the physical folder where a page located. Yet I can not find such a function in Keepnote and I must open it use a file manager such Nautilus and search the target file one by one manually. If the page is featured with a right-click function to open the containing folder, it will be very useful.

I know there were many people who requested different kinds of functions and it is really difficult to meet the interest of everyone. But I still hope my request be realized later at your convenience.

Sorry, the type of this issue should be "Enhancement"

Hi leon.yuxia,

isn't the 2. request "open the folder where the page is located" already implemented?

try menu: "view" -> "view note in file explorer" or the same from the context menu of the tree-view...

but mybe this function is only present in the windows version?

greetings...

Hi nudels0815,

The nautilus is used as the helper application of File Explorer, but I could not "view note in file explorer" in my Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome 2.28.1 environment. Dolphin can run but I usually use nautilus.

Thank you.

sorry - I have only little experience with Linux so I can not help you with this :(

Thank you anyhow! I installed Thunar, a file manager works in Xfce and Gnome similar to Nautilus, and it can load the folder in Ubuntu 9.10.

Hi,

I believe feature 2 is supported with "View Note in File Explorer". The application you choose for File Explorer (see Edit > Preferences > Helper Applications) must be able to take the full path of a folder as a single argument. Therefore, if your file manager of choice is not working (expects a different command line syntax), you could write a shell script to wrap the file manager.

As for feature number 1, I think it is very interesting. I myself would like that feature, and may add it some time in the future.

Hi Matt,

Thank you very much for answering all my questions in detail. I have sloved these according to your instructions. The other day I recommended Keepnote as a primary document manager on http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/ because Keepnote looks concise but very easy to manage than other similar softwares.

By the way, I read your CV and found you engaged in bioinformatic researchs and published good quality articles. I am a molecular microbial researcher and I planned to learn bioinformatics by myself from scratch. Hope you might give some help too when I encounter problems :-).

good day.

Leon

Hi everyone,

The View Note in File Explorer was implemented very well with Nautilus(2.30.1) in the new testing version of Keepnote Linux edition (0.6.3; deb). The Chinese language has been embeded in this version. Yet there seems some uncompleted language translations existed.
