The Unusual Suspect... One man. One website. No coincidence.

Note is a little application for creating simple plain-text notes with a minimum of fuss. It is the first proper application I created. I wrote it to have some fun learning a programming language and because I wanted a Post-it note like application that didn't look like a Post-it note!

Features

• When you run the program it creates a Note. When you close it it asks you if you want to save it. Once a Note is saved then opened again, closing it automatically saves it.
• You can right-click to alter the font & background colour which are remembered along with the window size & position on a per-note basis.
• Ctrl-Enter acts as a keyboard shortcut to close (and save) a Note.
• If there is a file called Default.note in the same folder as the program itself (Note.exe) then all new notes will inherit their settings from this file.
• Right-click > New > Note is a good way to create a new note on your desktop or in a folder.

Installing & Uninstalling

When you run the program it automatically registers itself with the .note extension. There's an Uninstall.reg file included in Note.zip file which will remove this association along with all other info added to the registry by the program.

Warning

As this program automatically, without warning, saves whatever text is present when you close it, be careful when making changes to your notes - don't open a note, delete all the important stuff you've saved in it, then close it - you'll lose it all forever!

Source Code

Note was created with Delphi for Win32. The source code is available to download below and should work fine with Delphi 2005 and above (including Turbo and Personal versions).
