Temporarily lager editor / notes list | Ctrl+Up / Down |
Depending on the work, it may be advantageous to
make the list of notes or the editor larger in order to get a better
overview. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
to Notes list | AltGr+N | Goes directly to the list of
notes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
to Global search | AltGr+G | Goes directly to the list of global
search. The list of stacks is controlled directly with F5 . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
to Tag list | AltGr+T |
Goes directly to the tag list
panel. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
to Editor | AltGr+E | Goes directly to the editor.

Backup of all stacks |
A backup is created outside of the
automatic backups. This is e.g. very
advisable for search/exchange in all stacks. As with the automatic backup, these batches can easily be opened
temporarily with ALT+F5
. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Import/Export |
Note, individuals and groups can be exported and imported. This 3 encodings (Unicode, ANSI and ASCII) are supported. There are several stands between the notes the file delimiter . It can also be absorbed. "Data files" to import. These are files with one record per line in various formats (csv, tab delimited, etc.). Then the data are relatively easy to bring with F12 in the desired form.
The import can take some time for large data
sets!
The new notes stands always at the
beginning of the stack. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Read file links | Alt+F6 |
Reads in folders or entire folder structures files (documents, images, media etc.) and creates for each a note and the file link (and a folder link) with the 3. template - but only for those files whose link in the current stack is not yet available Afterwards you can check the links with Shift+F11 and delete notes with links that are no longer valid or files that no longer exist. It is always advisable to save the stack beforehand ! To try it out, the contents of the corresponding stack can easily be copied to a temporary stack with F10 (group). The 3. Template should be adapted to your own wishes, also with the help of ";" before the respective variants of the 3. Line in the editor (Shift+Alt+T). A standard file filter can be set, the default is "*.*". Thus, e.g. "*.pdf" and similar. This makes it possible to create an effective "document management" and to create further notes on files (media, documents, archive, images etc.), which can then be found and retrieved very quickly. You can also sync with Synchronize file link (see below). This allows all possible notes on the same files. This function can also be used as
the "opposite" of Shift+F11 if you wants to
know if unlinked files (and which ones) are present in a
directory. These are always placed at the beginning of the stack, so that they are easy
to check.. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Global search file link | Shift+F6 |
Here, the file links of a running program can be searched globally - a "redirected" Synchronize file link according to the same rules. (see below) This can be a "preliminary stage" to the actual synchronization. For example, A document / media file / photo etc.,
can be searched for a corresponding link in the whole
Info-Base. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Synchronize viewer | Ctrl+F5 |
If a viewer (e.g. IrfanView) is specified , and on the notes a file link (always only the first one per note !), Then it can be used e.g. Photos and small videos are viewed. This is very useful if you have several monitors on the PC. Attention: With the IrfanView, "only one instance" must be activated in the settings ! This can also be done with the command line option "/one". This synchronization will be automatically
terminated as soon as the notes list no longer
has the
focus
; likewise with
a repeated Ctrl+F5. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note: |
The two types of synchronization are completely separate and fundamentally different:
Only
one of these two types can be started at a time
! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Synchronize file link | Ctrl+F8 |
This option is intended for Viewers and Media-players. Without having the Info-Base in the focus, this looks in a stack for the suitable file links and synchronizes himself with the Viewer or other program. However, this works only with programs , that shows in the window title (visible or not) the file names (no unicode) ! The programs should be associated with the respective extensions (also with OpenWith.ubi ), so that they start automatically when you click on the link. In the settings the desired window names are to be given (very exactly, case sensitive !) to distinguish in the order of the priority and with "*" of each other. Square bracket ("[]") are automatically removed. The default ("- IrfanView*- PDF-XChange Viewer*- VLC media player") considers the frequently methods. Attention: Of course, only one window with the specified name may be open. For example, if one is at the same time on the web page of "foobar2000", the synchronization to foobar2000 may not work. Normally, a file link is always clear, but it can happen (in playlists and cuesheets) that the file name displayed in the window title is slightly different from the file link. As can auto reduction of sync file links possibly help. The synchronization always refers to the stack in which this function was called. If another stack was loaded in the interim, Info-Base loads automatically that stack again, if scroll the Viewer or call this function again . Once synchronization has been established (visible on the icon !), you can work in the Info-Base as you wish. Ctrl+F8 or a click on the icon to return to the stack and the linked note or to switch off synchronization. The program (viewer/player, etc.) to which the synchronization relates automatically receives the focus when it is initialized. When the editor while an active synchronization is exited or the minimized Info-Base is reactivated, the focus automatically returns to the synchronized program. If the editor is read only a click on it will do that also. So there are 3 different states of synchronization:
If in the settings the option "Read only / synchronize file link" is activated, the editor is automatically set to read only. This prevents unwanted changes to the marked file link because you are too focused on the medium. Macros that access the editor cannot function correctly with read only of course ! But the read only can be switched off manually (e.g. with F8 or double click on the search field while an active synchronization) at any time if you want to write something on the note etc. Most other functions works as usual, but Info-Base must have the focus. With the previous function (read file
links ) archives of pictures, media
files, documents or others can be managed and provided with any additional informations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Synchronization off | Shift+F8 |
The synchronization can be switched off manually with Shift+F8, whereby nothing changes in the current status (note, filter, etc.). Otherwise this happens automatically when the linked program is closed. In the synchronized state (where the linked
program normally has the focus) you can either press
also Ctrl+F8 or click the icon, or twice if the
focus is on a
note other than the linked note. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note: |
The 4 following "pickers" (picker, clipboard, calendar and calculator) are available almost everywhere.
If they are called in the editor or in both searches, the
result is inserted at the cursor position, otherwise it is copied to the
clipboard (is visible in the title). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Picker | Alt+P |
With the picker any text (including placeholders) can be entered in the editor or in both searches. This may also serve to standardize the spelling of names. Individual entries can be deleted or moved and the
width/height of the window can be set in a Popup menu
(right mouse
button) or with the corresponding hotkeys. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clipboard | Alt+C |
This calls up an internal clipboard that stores the last texts of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and the links of Ctrl+H and Ctrl+I . In input fields (F3 and F4) for the search, only the first line is copied from the clip text ! Individual or all entries can be deleted and the width/height of the window can be set in a Popup menu (right mouse button) or with the corresponding hotkeys. A small side effect: If the clipboard is called
with "to Clipboard", the entry is quasi put at the beginning of the
list. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Calendar | Alt+D |
The small calendar is self-explanatory and is used for quick entry of the date. You can scroll with:
Accept the date with Enter (mouse
click) and abort with Esc
. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Calculator | Alt+Q |
A small calculator for fast calculations with 2 decimal places. In addition, the whole "calculation strip" can be copied into the cliboard or the cursor position.
The arithmetic operations are retained until "C" is pressed or Info-Base is exited. The calculator can be closed with Esc. To operate the calculator with the numeric keys of the numeric block (independent of NumLock!), but also with function keys (notebooks):
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spell checker |
Ctrl+F7 |
Can be also automatically with Esc when leaving the window after making changes. In this case, the completion message is not displayed. If a single word or a part of text is selected, only that is checked. There are only the enclosed
dictionaries ! You should therefore not delete languages that are not
required ! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Options |
The dictionaries to the spell checker and options can be set. The user dictionary specified at the first start
is automatically formed from the user name of the PC. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Auto correction | Ctrl+F6 |
Normally, this correction should be automatically upon leaving (no matter how!) be the Editor window after changes. This function refers to the AutoCorr.ubi file and can easily be adapted to your own needs. This function is partially overlaps with the spelling checker or the picker, and it
is up to personal taste as you would like to use
it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Monthly calendar Weekly calendar |
Generates a simple, linear calendar for one year. The completed month or week can be pushed to the end (backup) of the note with Roll up (Alt+F11) or with split (Alt+F10) can be divided into individual notes or the completed entries can be deleted individually with Ctrl+Y. Entries are made as desired after the date. The individual anniversaries, birthdays, etc. must of course be entered beforehandwith the appropriate editor! A distinction is made between monthly and weekly
calendars (with or without calendar week numbers). The language of the names of the days and months depends on the Windows setting. (cf. settings under Date ) With Search/Replace (F12 or Shift+F12), a calendar generated in this way can easily be adapted to your own requirements, e.g. the "----" in a longer line. Best with a replace file (*.rpl), examples are enclosed. Or you want to be reminded of a backup every 1st day of a month: search: "{{CR}}02" replace: "{{Cr}}{{TB}}{{TB}}Backup !{CR}}02".
Or an entry last
day of a month: search: "{{TB}}----{{CR}}" repace:
"{{TB}}{{TB}}Payments{{CR}}{{TB}}----{{CR}}" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short Menu |
This menu is a bit long and can therefore be
displayed without the easily noticeable 4 "to ... options". The
AltGr+N/G/T/E keys remain
active. |
