Read the full changelog

When it comes to taking notes there is a huge number of computer programs to choose from. On one side of a performance chart you have simple, basic text editors with a save function, on the other you find more complex tools that are feature-packed, tailored for more advanced users, and at the middle, between proper for novice users and professionals, you have CherryTree.

CherryTree is designed and delivered as a hierarchical note taking solution that allows you to create, store and organize any number of notes in an easy to navigate structure.

Practical and easy to use

CherryTree is both simple and complex at the same time. It’s simple because it displays a more than comprehensive user interface which makes it accessible to just about anyone who wants to use it. As far as complex goes, that refers to what’s behind the graphical user interface as the list of what you can do with the application is quite long.

Using this note editor you benefit from an advanced text editor, syntax highlighting, along with table, codebox and image insertion, alignment functions for all types of content, exporting to various formats and much more.

A wide range of handy features

CherryTree enables you to do more than just insert text and save it for later use. Each note, or node as it is referred in this case, can be customized to a large extent in a variety of ways. Besides being able to choose the font and its size, you can also highlight specific portions of it, change alignment, toggle subscript and superscript, add bullets, insert images, files, timestamps, etc.

In a lot of ways it’s more advanced than a good deal of text editors out today and that becomes a certainty when you have to consider that CherryTree makes it possible to import notes from formats that are created using other similar applications and can export content to PDF, HTML and simple TXT files.

On a closing note

With the above to consider and a lot more to discover about what else CherryTree can do, it’s safe to say that if you’re looking for a sturdy and reliable note manager, then you can certainly give this one a try.

Conclusion

I love CherryTree and I love that it’s still being developed regularly. I have high hopes for it as an organizational tool and I’m excited to see where it ends up in the next year or so. For those of you still looking for the perfect note-keeping tool, I implore you to try it out. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If you’d like to try some alternatives, there’s always Zim (our review), wikidPad, and TiddlyWiki, which I still love and endorse even after discovering CherryTree.

Description

Content

This project was intended to be the follower of Hyper Patcher 1 v1.3 and should later contain all its features, of course. Unfortunately, it had to be cancelled. So this version is just a demo.

Features  []

• Analysis of the project based on the used patches (not all) including the version of the RPG_RT.exe, respectively the actual runtime file
• Automatic installation of Ineluki’s Key Patch v1.2 into the project folder (after confirmation), so that players don’t need to install it on their computer by themselves
• Change the game title and the RTP dependancy
• Test play with all options (hide/show title, window/fullscreen, debug/normal, battle test)
• Increase number of picture IDs up to 126 for all version or up to 9999 for RM2k v1.07 and now also RM2k3 v1.08
• Reverse display priority of battle animations and pictures (RM2k v1.07 only)
• Apply IPS patches as well as patches in my own “Hyper Patch” format (HPD/HPA files) – Unfortunately, the IPS feature isn’t working correctly in the demo!
• Show and export maps (→ Map Exporter)
• Recreate map tree in case you had a Map Tree Data Break (→ Map Tree Creator)
• Change ingame fonts (→ Font Changer)

English instructions  []

Unfortunately, the tool as well as the documentation is only available in German, so I am describing here how to use it.

• Open hyperp2.exe
• Choose your project folder
• Click OK

A property window will open.

Tab 1: “Allgemein”  []

• Spieltitel: Here you can change your game’s title
• Spiel benötigt RTP: Untick this to stop your game checking for the RTP
• Spiel starten: Test play (the options to the left are test play options). Pressing F9 at any page will do the same.

Tab 2: “Maps”  []

• You can export maps to BMP files here. Select a map and click “Vorschau” for a preview or “Exportieren” to export it. Click “Alle exportieren” to export all.
• On the right side, you can repair your project in case of a “Map Data Tree Break” error, which normally makes your project unusable. Click “Map Tree erstellen” to repair.

Tab 3: “Anzeige”  []

• Anzahl Bild-IDs: You can change the picture limit here. You can increase the number up to 126 (if you are using RM2k v1.07 or now also RM2k3 v1.08, even values up to 9999 are possible).Important: This option needs the RPG2000.EXE/RPG2003.EXE to be changed too: Open it in Resource Hacker, then go to RCDATA → TFORMEVCMD11110 → 0. Then scroll downwards to “MaxValue = 20″ (RM2k), “MaxValue = 50″ (RM2k3 version 1.08) or “MaxValue = 40″ (RM2k3 version 1.04) and change it to “MaxValue = 9999″. Then click “Compile Script”. Do the same with RCDATA → TFORMEVCMD11120 → 0 and RCDATA → TFORMEVCMD11130 → 0 and then click File → Save. But keep in mind: Though you can set higher values in RPG Maker, you can only use as many pictures as you have configured in Hyper Patcher 2.
• Bilder über Kampfanimationen anzeigen: If this option is checked, Pictures are displayed “over” Battle Animations. Change it to reverse the priority of pictures and battle animations.

Tab 5: “Sonstiges 3″  []

Patch anwenden: You can apply HPD/HPA-Patches (my own patch format) here.

At the end, click OK to apply all changes and exit.

Information for users of Windows Vista/7  []

Please start Hyper Patcher 2 with elevated privileges (rightclick → Start as Administrator), if the project is located inside the “Program Files” folder or a subfolder of it! To use the German documentation, you need to install WINHLP32.EXE for Windows Vista (KB917607)!

Особенности записной книжки для Linux Cherrytree

Языком программирования на котором написана записная книжка Linux Cherrytree, является Python, что позволяет с лёгкостью реализовать запуск программы в разных операционных системах. На официальном сайте разработчика можно скачать установочные пакеты формата deb и rpm, а также портативную версию подлежащую запуску в системах Microsoft Windows.

Практически все дистрибутивы Linux имеют в своих репозиториях установочные пакеты данной программы. Также существуют портативные версии для их запуска, достаточно распаковать архив с программой и активировать исполняемый файл. Например для того, чтобы установить блокнот Linux Cherrytree, можно воспользоваться менеджером приложений Ubuntu либо загрузить из репозитория выполнив следующие команды.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vincent-c/cherrytree
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cherrytree

Структура заметок в Cherrytree организована в иерархическом порядке, что в свою очередь помогает не запутаться даже в сложнейших проектах. Все папки, подкаталоги и заметки называются узлами. При создании каждому узлу присваивается уникальный тег. Это решение необходимо для упрощения процесса поиска требуемых записей. Вся информация хранится в едином файле, который можно защитить с помощью пароля.

Основными элементами главного окна Cherrytree являются меню и панели инструментов. Для удобства работы все лишние объекты можно скрыть с помощью раздела «Настройки». Для форматирования текста заметок на панели расположены специальные кнопки. Именно ими необходимо пользоваться для придания тексту нужного вида.

Чтобы отформатировать в Cherrytree Linux текст, достаточно кликнуть правой кнопкой мышки на выбранном слове, после чего появится обширное контекстное меню. Помимо стандартного набора операций, которые есть чуть ли не у всех редакторов тут также существуют дополнительные опции, они могут помочь со многими действиями, например поиск текста Linux.

С помощью раздела «Настройки» можно изменить не только используемые шрифты, но и цвет фона Cherrytree. Чтобы минимизировать манипуляции мышкой, можно активировать соответствующие комбинации клавиш для большинства действий. Также существует очень полезная возможность экспорта данных из многих программ с аналогичным функционалом.

Creating and Editing Notes

You’ll be working with notes in the main CherryTree window, which consists of menus, a toolbar, tree view of all “Nodes” in the current file, and the editing area. You can hide all elements except menus and the editing area, and the tree view can be moved to the right side in the “Preferences” dialog.

The toolbar has buttons for formatting functions. Use them to change the text color, make it bold, italic or superscript, turn text into lists (including to-do lists with checkboxes), align text and create subheadings. The “Preferences” dialog lets you select which buttons will be visible in the toolbar.

CherryTree allows you to insert different kinds of content into your notes. You can insert entire files, paste items from clipboard, insert, resize and rotate images (PNG, JPG, TIFF…), add current date and time, generate a table of contents, and insert regular text tables, which can also be imported from CSV files. If you want to add pieces of code to your notes, insert a

If you want to add pieces of code to your notes, insert a codebox – it supports syntax highlighting for more than 70 programming and scripting languages. Items can be inserted from the right-click menu in the editing area and tree view, or from the “Edit” menu.

• Password protection (using http://www.7-zip.org/) – NOTE: while a cherrytree password protected document is opened, an unprotected copy is extracted to a temporary folder of the filesystem; this copy is removed when you close cherrytree
• Tree nodes drag and drop

Ways to Use CherryTree

If you’ve gotten this far and you’re sold, great! Just head on over to the CherryTree website to download and install it ASAP. But if you’re here and you think it’s a great program but can’t think of any possible uses for you personally, then here are some ideas to get you started.

• Novel writing. CherryTree makes it really easy to set up various sections to keep track of notes for characters, geography, plotlines, and other important details. The inter-linking between pages makes it even easier for navigating your notes after they’ve inevitably grown into a massive pile.
• User manuals. CherryTree’s own manual is written in a way that it can be downloaded and read directly within CherryTree — and it’s awesome. With CherryTree, you can organize and write a user manual, then use the export tool to convert it into a more common format, such as PDF.
• Class notes. This is the big one whenever anyone mentions note-taking software. With CherryTree, you can set up individual sections for each of your courses, then break them down with individual pages per lesson. The inter-linking is a great way to reference related material and the export tool makes it easy to share notes with colleagues.
• To-do list. One of the ways I use CherryTree is to keep track of blog post ideas as they strike me in moments of inspiration. This allows me to ruminate and scratch down additional notes over time before I actually pop open WordPress and bang away at a full post. Each page, then, becomes a sort of to-do list of its own. Of course, this could be applied to activities other than blogging, such as errands, home improvement, working out, dieting, and more.

Start Organizing Notes

In CherryTree, your notes are organized hierarchically, which is great for complex projects and study guides because it helps you arrange information in a meaningful way. All items in CherryTree – folders, subfolders and notes – are called “Nodes”, and they can be one of three types: Rich Text, Plain Text or Automatic Syntax Highlighting. Choose the latter for notes that contain code.

When creating a “Node”, you can assign tags to it for easier searching. Your notes can be password-protected, and they are all stored in a single file – you can pick the format (XML or SQLite).

“Nodes” can contain “Sub-nodes”, which then makes them the equivalent of “Notebooks” in Evernote or MyNotex. You can set “Nodes” as read-only, sort, move, expand and collapse them, and bookmark them for quick navigation.

One of the most useful features is linking “Nodes” to each other. Any selected text can be turned into a link with the “Insert Anchor” option, allowing you to create a repository of information, like your personal Wikipedia.

Features

• can be used with any view and data framework
• nested routes are great for nested UIs
• generate links in a systematic way, e.g.
• use pushState with automatic hashchange fallback
• all urls are generated with or without as appropriate
• link clicks on the page are intercepted automatically when using pushState
• dynamically load parts of your app during transitions
• dynamic segments, optional params and query params
• support for custom query string parser
• transition is a first class citizen — abort, pause, resume, retry. E.g. pause the transition to display «There are unsaved changes» message if the user clicked some link on the page or used browser’s back/forward buttons
• navigate around the app programatically, e.g.
• easily rename URL segments in a single place (e.g. /account -> /profile)

First Impressions

My immediate impression upon opening CherryTree for the first time? Clean, compact, and efficient. One of my biggest gripes with the personal wiki-style notebook market is that apps tend to be feature-packed without much polish or intuitively designed but lacking in advanced features. CherryTree, on the other hand, is pleasant on the eyes and advanced enough to satisfy both newbies and veterans alike.

As far as performance goes, CherryTree is as good as it gets. With a sizeable notebook open it only consumes about 30MB of RAM and it runs quite fast even on older machines — my netbook from four years ago can handle it without a problem. On top of that, it’s available on both Windows and Linux, which is great if you want cross-platform versatility. Combine it with Dropbox or another cloud storage service to synchronize notes across multiple computers.

Conclusion

You can export selected text, single, multiple and all notes to PDF, HTML, and plain text. If you’ve previously used another note-taking software, CherryTree can import notes from text and HTML files, as well as from a long list of apps (Basket, Gnote, Keepnote, Keynote, Tomboy, Zim…).

It’s a truly amazing app because it can do so much while being light on system resources. I can imagine it being equally useful for organizing recipes, collecting writing ideas, developing business plans or sorting notes for school.

The list of planned features is exciting: CherryTree might soon get support for tabs, a word counter for one or all notes, import from PDF and export to LaTeX and Markdown, and an Android version. It could easily replace Evernote even for Windows users; the only thing that’s missing is online syncing, but you can always set that up with Dropbox or another online storage service.

Core Features

As a note organization tool, CherryTree brings all of the core features that you’d expect from a program of its kind.

• Content linking. Individual pages within CherryTree are called “nodes” and you can hyper link directly to other nodes, making it easy to create a cross-web of information similar to a real wiki. However, CherryTree can also link other types of data, including web addresses, images, files, and folders.
• Rich text formatting. CherryTree can handle rich text formatting, which means your pages will look as beautiful as you want them to. Rich text features include coloring, bold, italics, headers, superscripts and subscripts, bullet lists, and more.
• Syntax highlighting. On pages that have rich text formatting disabled, CherryTree will resort to standard syntax highlighting that you find in most text editors these days. This is a wonderful feature for when you have certain pages that are code-based, since you can have documentation pages in rich text while code pages as syntax highlighted. CherryTree supports over 50 language types out of the box.
• Full screen editing. When you want every bit of screen space dedicated to editing your notes, full screen mode will be there for you.
• Advanced search. Instead of being limited to searching only within the current page, CherryTree allows you three types of search: search within a page, search for a page, or search within all pages. Absolutely crucial for notebooks that grow to be immense over time.
• Import. Are you hesitant to switch to CherryTree because all of your notes are already inputted on a different personal notebook program? That’s alright because CherryTree can import projects from a range of other programs, including KeepNote, Gnote, Mempad, Tomboy, Treepad, Zim, and more.
• Export. If you’re worried about sharing your notes with others in more conventional formats, fear not. CherryTree can export your pages in the following formats: plain text file, multiple plain text files, HTML, PDF, and CherryTree Document.
• Password protection. Using 7-Zip’s algorithms, CherryTree can password protect your pages so only you can see them. Great for data sensitive projects and documents.

What I like the best about CherryTree, however, is the fact that it’s in constant development, even at the time of writing this article. Looking at the program’s update history, I see new versions being put out weekly, sometimes even faster. The developer is really on the ball with changes and I think that speaks well for the future health and quality of this program.

How does it compare to other routers?

• Backbone router is nice and simple and can often be enough. In fact cherrytree uses some bits from Backbone router under the hood. Cherrytree adds nested routing, support for asynchronous transitions, more flexible dynamic params, url generation, automatic click handling for pushState.
• Ember router / router.js is the inspiration for cherrytree. It’s where cherrytree inherits the idea of declaring hierarchical nested route maps. The scope of cherrytree is slightly different than that of router.js, for example cherrytree doesn’t have the concept of handler objects or model hooks. On the other hand, unlike router.js — cherrytree handles browser url changes and intercepts link clicks with pushState out of the box. The handler concept and model hooks can be implemented based on the specific application needs using the middleware mechanism. Overall, cherrytree is less prescriptive, more flexible and easier to use out of the box.
• react-router is also inspired by router.js. React-router is trying to solve a lot of routing related aspects out of the box in the most React idiomatic way whereas with you’ll have to write the glue code for integrating into React yourself (see plugin). However, what you get instead is a smaller, simpler and hopefully more flexible library which should be more adaptable to your specific needs. This also means that you can use a like approach with other inspired libraries such as , , , , and so on.

Usage

var cherrytree = require('cherrytree')

// create the router
var router = cherrytree()
var handlers = require('./handlers')

// provide your route map
router.map(function (route) {
  route('application', {path: '/', abstract: true}, function () {
    route('feed', {path: ''})
    route('messages')
    route('status', {path: ':user/status/:id'})
    route('profile', {path: ':user'}, function () {
      route('profile.lists')
      route('profile.edit')
    })
  })
})

router.use(function render (transition) {
  transition.routes.forEach(function (route, i) {
    route.view = handlersroute.name({
      params: transition.params,
      query: transition.query
    })
    var parent = transition.routesi-1
    var containerEl = parent ? parent.view.el.querySelector('.outlet') : document.body
    containerEl.appendChild(view.render().el)
  })
})

router.use(function errorHandler (transition) {
  transition.catch(function (err) {
    if (err.type !== 'TransitionCancelled' && err.type !== 'TransitionRedirected') {
      console.error(err.stack)
    }
  })
})

// start listening to URL changes
router.listen()
