Hello All,

I'm happy to announce a version of Notes that actually saves the notes you create.

Get the source here:

http://www.sillypages.org/sgi/notes-0.9.tar.gz

Please read the README - it contains all the information you need to run the applet.

enjoy!

Uhm...having a bit of trouble compiling.

cstdio needs to be in usr/local/lib?

Ammended the Makefile to include /usr/nekoware/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix6.5/3.4.6/include/c++ where the file lives, still getting errors I'm afraid.



#gmake notes

Any pointers?

Hello Spidy - thanks for taking an interest in Notes

As far as i know cstdio doesn't belong in /usr/local/lib at least not for MIPSpro.



It seems that you're using gcc and I haven't tested compilation with gcc as I've been using MIPSpro for a while now. I am terribly sorry, but I have no idea why your seeing these errors.



If you don't have a copy of MIPSpro handy, I'm afraid you may have to wait a couple more days till I release an officially blessed-and-holy-pee-sprinkled sillypages.org tardist

jimmer, I have MipsPro.

I may be missing something. Maybe if you tell me exactly (ie, like I'm a very stupid 4 year old) what to do to compile, I'll try your instructions.

Jimmer I love your Notes app !!!

What would be really nice is to have just a little more features added to it like different fonts and fontsize, Bold , Italic , underline.
And a way to resize the window.

But for a 0.9 version it's 'tha bomb' !)

You're welcome



Wrt. different text size/colour etc., i thought about it and then I ran in to issues with Motif. The stock Motif 1.2 text widget is annoyingly primitive, but I might try something with Motif 2.x 'rendertables' one of these days. Of course 'right way' to do this would be to write a new ViewKit component that does Fontconfig/Freetype AA text. But I simply don't have the time atm to learn how to code such a beastie. Sorry.

Wrt. window resizing, that's a function of the window manager borders. If I want non-bordered notes, which i want, then I sacrifice resizing. Adding a popup-dialog just to enter a new note size seems a little 'cumbersome'.

In the end I decided that fonts and resizing weren't essential to the applet and left them out.



You da' Man!

I see !)

No worry's, I still think this is quite an asset to the motif desktop!!!

It seems to run fine if I first manually create a "~/.notes" directory, but seems to reliably segfault if this doesn't exist!

Still can't get this compiled. I to have MIPS Pro installed. I get an error just like above abouit CSTDIO. Any help?
