After a few months of silence, we’re preparing a first beta of the next version of AM-Notebook, v5.1. This version will bring some nice new features and improvements. If everything goes well, we can release it in the last week of January 2009.
Quickly open notes
Something that often annoyed me was the process of finding and opening a specific note, especially when you have hundreds of notes stored. Version 5.1 has now a search field in the “Notes by date” dialog, that lets you quickly search and open notes with just a few keystrokes.
1. Use Ctrl+F5 to open that dialog
2. Enter one or more search words
3. Use the arrow keys to select a note (more notes can be selected by holding the shift key pressed)
4. Press the Enter key to open the note
In the meantime I mainly use that way to open my notes, it just works fantastic.
Locking tabs
Tab-locking was a very often requested feature that is now finally implemented in version 5.1. Having it available is a really nice thing, I never thought that I use it that much. Locked tabs will stay open permanently, it’s not possible to close them or open another note in the same tab. If a locked tab is selected, then opening a new note will automatically open it in a new tab.
