NOTE BOOK program improved March 8 2018
Post by michael on Mar 4th, 2018, 04:45am

REQUEST: could someone test this program on BBCSDL android?
ANDROID: You will have to change the file write and read to:
(@usr$+"memo.txt")
----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: THIS VERSION TESTED ON

*** BBC BASIC for Windows, MAC (BBCSDL), Raspberry Pi 3 (BBCSDL)
**********************************************

>>>> FOR BBCSDL (all platforms) <<<<
IMPORTANT: you will want to change the write and read directory to (@usr$+"memo.txt) and be sure to save the program also in @usr$ to keep everything running smooth.

**********************************************

* I use this program for my recipes on my pi3 and Programming reference notes beside BBC Basic for windows. So it has become a useful tool.

On raspberry pi3 it runs cool 28% (you can modify WAIT times to reduce it. (but 28% is good)

NOTE: The first time you use, be sure to create a NEW FILE

Re: NOTE BOOK program

Hi Michael,

Is it more like a card file, rather than a note book? It looks like it has 4 fixed entries per "page", plus a title.

Would a table into which you could write make it clearer how it worked?

What are the limits on the length of each item?

Could you make the "card" pattern configurable by the user when they open a file? Perhaps a dialogue asking how many items, and how big they should be? Perhaps options to have numeric as well as text fields?

Best wishes,

D

Yes. I designed it for small notes. (Because I actually wanted a small one for a tiny slide show reminder for recipes and other things.)

Its spread out to make it easier to read and I am thinking of improving it with a better layout and make it BBCSDL compatible because I have devices that need it.

My mac nor raspberry pi 3 have anything attractive for simple note management. So that's part of why I made it.

I may add more border decorations to make it aesthetically pleasing to view. And I may also have a fixed amount of cards so that it stays compact, because too much info can be an issue.

So I could have a list of files that you could name, each with 10 cards. So maybe 10 files and 10 cards per file?

I think that might be best. Then a person only needs to relocate the app in a folder and make a link to each one with different subjects.

Ideas anyone? (mind that it must remain very simple and small)
