WELCOME TO WMENOTES AND THANKS FOR USING IT... IT'S a Post-it-like program to stick notes on your desktop...
Now the 5th release... see the ChangeLog. But mainly, Enotes has now the reliable XML format to save the notes and the default note. Now fully Windowmaker compliant. Removed use of C++ list. Now you can create your own program to configure the notes. I gave you mine: wmEnotesConfig. You can specify parameters from the command line.
YOU NEED:
-a descent version of GTK and Co.
-Windowmaker
-Xerces to read xml files. (make sure the include files of xerces are in the include path)
to install xerces, the easiest way is to copy the content of
-xerces_includes directory into your /usr/local/include
-xerces_lib directory into your /usr/local/lib
you can find these directories in the file xerces_wmEnotes.tar.gz
that I have prepared for you at http://vigneron.free.fr/enotes
!!!if you are affraid of compiling wmEnotes, download the binary file of wmEnotes.!!! Don't forget the xerces library as well!
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
//for the configuration tool
cd configtool
make
make install
//for wmEnotes
cd wmEnotes
make
make install
HOWTO RUN:
wmEnotes -h
- usage
- -config <configure program> program used to configure the notes -notes <notes file> xml file where to store the notes -temp <note temp file> xml file where to store the temporary note info when configuring -h this help screen -v print the version number
eg.:
wmEnotes -config wmEnotesConfig -notes /home/philippe/.notes.xml -temp /tmp/note.xml
HOWTO USE:
The first time you launch it, you might get an error message. That's because the xml files where not found. So a red led will tell you something is wrong. That's ok for the first time. It is not if you already started wmEnotes previously.
GUI: clock, note number, new note (check sign) and configure default note ([C] button)
[new note]
Once you click on the new note button, the led should turn green to tell you the program saved your note in /home/philippe/.notes.xml
[configure note]
click inside the note to configure it. If the config program cannot be found, a message will be displayed in your shell....and the program will not be executed :)
[delete]
right-click inside the note to delete it.
THANK YOU
Please tell me what you think about it, if it is usefull and what we could add to it.
