Skwyrul PRO click here for Skwyrul PRO on-line help file
Skwyrul PRO is a very easy to use Notes/Information Manager, it runs on Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0. The basic idea of this program, is to store notes in a tree like structure, with quick searching and retrieveal. I use it for storing program code segments from Delphi and PL/SQL, phone numbers, record/CD lists, General ideas, dates, to-do lists, images, WWW addresses, phone numbers etc.
It is fully internet enabled, with export to HTML, WWW page launching, and its own SMTP emailer for sending messages from the stored email addresses, export selected folder and notes to HTML or Text. Save deleted notes in the Windows recycle bin. use multiple data files, auto publish to an intranet on startup, remembers your last note and cursort position and restores for you, user defined templates, encryption and compression, bullets etc. etc. (Skwyrul is now used in over 38 countries around the world, by hundreds of users.)
What are the plans for Skwyrl PRO?
I will try an make Skwyrul PRO the information manager of choice, for all users worldwide who appreciate simple, clean and powerful easy to use feature, in a fast loading small footprint application.
Multi Lingual is a priority now, I already have a very kind person who has offered to transcribe all the help files, screen messages, menu/button texts etc. into Spanish for free, I am looking for the same for all other major languages. If you are willing to help please drop me an email. This is a major undertaking, but at least it will be able to be fully enjoyed by more people around the world.
I will also be looking into Unicode support.
Improved Alarms, diary facilities.
If you have any ideas or comments, then please let me know.
Tip Cyrillic Fonts, can be handled very nicely now, if you download and install a new TTF(truetype font) from:
YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR EXISTING "skwyrul.dat" AND "skwyrul.tre", AS THESE WILL BE MERGED INTO A SINGLE FILE CALLED "skwy.dat". I HAVE DONE MUCH VALIDATION, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS, BUT DO THIS TO BE SAFE.
YOU ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA THOUGH, RIGHT? #:p)
Tree Manager, allowing you to move notes anywhere in the tree as well as, add many notes very quickly.
There is now a save changes dialog on exit.
A new SMTP client, including attachments, multiple To's can be used as long as they a seperated with commas.
Key shortcuts on Merge note screen.
Font Switcher, allows for all notes to be viewed in a non proportional font.
Smarter tree sorting, manual arranging, Hold down the Ctrl Key, and drag a note to any location, where it will be inserted.
Save note / mergenote can now be saved as plain text
Now you can call RTF exports any name in any directory, as opposed to the defaults in 3.2a
Removed the taskbar option, as have there is now a system wide hotkey + system tray support.
To easily detect if a note has any children, just move the mouse over it, if the hand points straight up, then it does
if it points at an angle to the left, then it has no children!
Fixes/improvements:
Problem with changing colour in tree and root node text could be over written, has been removed.
Animated Icon removed from Alarm, taking up too much system resources.
Improved printing Font/Wordwrap (Do not print, if you have a non TrueType font selected.)
Improved modem detection routines
Selected Font color on MRU menu now corrected.
Always explore the right mouse menus of the tree and note, to access the new features.
And it is still Careware as it will always be, and just 402kb in its bare feet!!!
