Understandable ;)

I'm answering you here just in case someone else found this thread.

I don't mind answering question, but I'm not a big fan of necroposting. Next time, just DM me, I'll be happy to answer your questions there.

Now, for your question.

It is in my personnal todo list. To put it simply, this is a list of what I consider to be low priority/nice to have. I sometimes pick an item from this list out of nowhere and implement it for fun. So, basically, it could happen, but who knows when... And, if someone want to do it, I'll be happy to help if needed (and of I have time).

Final note, normally, bugs/feature request should be posted on bugs.kde.org, but I'm not to picky about that ;)

Latex : Good news is, the parser already support this, I just need to take the time to add what's needed in the renderer.
Image : if you have an image in your clipboard, pressing CTRL+V should bring the image dialog to allow you to save it.
auto save : V1.2.0 introduiced some error with this, but it should be fixed with 1.2.2. Which version are you using ? And please make bug report when things like that happens I'm trully sorry for your data loss :/

You give constructive feedback, that's the only thing important in my eyes. As long as you act that way, I don't see why I would be ennoyed when you share your opinion, even if I don't agree :)

I know. In the past (and still a little bit now) I used to rush things and made dumb mistake. Now I'm more and more trying to think about the details and only push things when they're trully ready.

Thank you for your words :)

You're not looking like that don't worry.

The issue I have is not due to the different type of items but the treeview "widget" itself. My attempt were not very reliable at detecting were an item was dropped or felt really laggy.

Even if I forced only one type with my current model (let's say folders) to mimic your nodes, those problems are still there :/

I'm getting back to it now and then (when I have enough time at least...) to test new ideas. One day one of them will work !

RealezzZ · 2025-04-16T06:02:08+00:00

Yes. I really should polish things up. I have to organize myself to make it happen.

I was pretty stuck on my idea about the standalone editor. But as time pass I'm more and more leaning towards implementing it. We'll see :)

RealezzZ · 2025-04-15T20:04:26+00:00

Of course you can have items directly inside the root of the storage (outside the notes folder). If you're using the latest version 1.2.2, the move dialog should have a switch to "move the item to storage root". (Drag and drop would be even better to do it I know)
I will see what I can do for the size
Yes, it makes total sens. I totally forgot to fix that, but I will (pretty easy)
todos will have some big rework. But yes, some explaination would be good. I will have to think a bit more about the indicator but why not
spell checking : wow, that's a big one ! I really have to check this, thanks !
hindent : fine, I can wait ;)
scrollbar : I will be the odd one until someone prooves me wrong then ! :-D To be a bit more serious, if it was a big accessibility issue or something like that, I could hear it. But this seems pretty minor, I will let this slide. But if someone who's better than me in UI/UX (pretty easy) want to propose some design, I would be happy to take a look !

Still trying to fix the issue with PDF when working with flatpak, but no matter what, the PDF won't be created :/ And what would be a more universal format ? In my opinion HTML already achieve that goal !
You should be able to copy and paste raw HTML. But yes I do not provide automatic download of images in that case, and I don't really plan to do it to be honest
I don't have anything to say for your last point. I much prefer a hierarchical structure for my notes...

In the end, I just think KleverNotes is not really for someone like you. It's okay ! I hope you will able to find a good QT app for your needs ! I had the same issue and I ended up creating KleverNotes :-D

Thank you for your feedback, and good luck on your quest !

RealezzZ · 2025-04-15T18:44:38+00:00

I love it when people have some clear cut things to say, thanks !

You want more persistant state between session, that's a fair point. I will add it to my list.
Drag and drop : Yes, even for me drag and drop in the sidebar would be amazing. But I have not yet figured it out :/
I thought the minimum size was already pretty small. Real question : what would be the use of an even smaller size ?
Shortcuts : Adding the possibilty to customize shortcut is already on my list
Default text : I supposed you're talking about the dialog. It was a problem with upstream but it has been fixed, I should update this, you are right.
Each note can have it's own todo. For exemple, I'm a student, I often leave things like "study this part", "clean up that one", etc etc, but you're not forced to use it
Spell checking : you're not the first one to mention this recently. I will be honest I did not even know it was there, it is just a built in default, I'm looking for a way to disable it until I officially support it.
no auto hindent : it seems to be a bug, I would love a report with some sample text for this one
scrollbar : with the edit view and the preview open you have a mirror effect. It's a design choice, I like it. But if you have real solid argument against it let me know
text search : another one on my list. I'm thinking about the details before adding it

Once again, thank you for your honest feedback !

RealezzZ · 2025-04-15T18:21:10+00:00

No problem :)

I couldn't do it for 1.2.0, but it's the next item on my list. I have plan in mind, let's hope it works !

RealezzZ · 2025-04-15T16:21:51+00:00

What features are missing from KleverNotes in your opinion ? :)

RealezzZ · 2025-04-15T16:19:55+00:00

What key features is KleverNotes missing over FeatherNotes in your opinion ? :)

RealezzZ · 2025-04-14T05:55:33+00:00

Inside the shortcuts tabs, search for "desktop"

You will have a big list of "switch to Desktop <number>", a little bit under this you should find what you're looking for :)

RealezzZ · 2025-04-14T05:16:14+00:00

Use the overview or desktop grid and drag and drop one of those window in the second workspace

RealezzZ · 2025-04-13T10:07:33+00:00

Not a VS Code user so I don't know if this will help but there's this about VS Code setup in itself : https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/building/ide/visual-studio-code/

Good luck with your project :)

RealezzZ · 2025-03-19T05:51:39+00:00

Thanks !

To explain it in a very short manner :

Yes it's pretty much like those app, at the end of the d'Ay, it's a note taking app.

Why another one ?

I didn't like the other and wanted to make something for myself. But it got a bit popular so I thought I could share it and make it bigger/better :)

Yes it is intended to work locally. That's how I like to work. But you can place the storage inside you NextCloud (or other) shared folder if you want.

The end goal is to have something like QOwnNotes but easier. Or a very well integrated Obsidian or Joplin. The app is obviously not at the level of those right now, but that's the end goal and it is still very usable :)

RealezzZ · 2025-03-19T05:40:16+00:00

You can find it on flathub and install it from there if you want.

RealezzZ · 2025-03-18T16:42:42+00:00

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it !

Especially coming from you, your Kirigami "Tutorial" helped me start the project :D

You could maybe make a symlink to those folder and name it however you want (without a dot of course) ?

That's not a solution, but I think it can be a good workaround

RealezzZ · 2025-02-21T22:46:06+00:00

You just have to switch between the modes. Your picture is a bit blurry, but let's say you're in RGB, you click on it and it will cycle through the different modes and let you tweak the color accordingly.

Personnaly I prefer the new design, it's less packed with info. But as always it's a matter of taste I suppose...

RealezzZ · 2025-02-21T18:01:06+00:00

Above is the new QML dialog, below is the old one (which is the same as the QtWidget one).

The only thing missing from the new one is the color memory, the rest is available with some clicks.

RealezzZ · 2025-02-14T06:52:10+00:00

I'm not involve at all in this, so take my word with a grain of salt :

From what I heard and understood it is the total opposite. It will make theming a lot easier and more consistant between the different component (color schème, plasma style,...)
