Re: Notes - Changed File Information Without Contents Change - PProAll

It seems that you have set your backup software to keep additional
copies of files whenever the date has changed, even if the file size
has not changed, and you only noticed after accumulating 60 mb
of mostly duplicate notes that this is not a good backup strategy.
Then you blame Powerpro for the result of your mistake.
In fact only YOU are responsible for what you did.
You could fix it by setting your backup software to use a changed
file size as the condition for making a backup.

I don't believe "many people here" wrote that nonsense.

There are several features of Powerpro which Bruce does not
use much himself but he continues to improve them anyway.
That includes Notes. Look at the most recent improvements:

May 2005
Added note.find
Note recycle dates now accept forms like 3 days 5 hours 10 minutes
Added lastnotehandle function
Fixed keyboard focus problems with note.openmenu

September 2004
Right click menu for notes can optionally be 2-column and now includes
entry for running selected text as script.
You can show notes only when selected windows are active and foreground.
You can now set the tab size for notes.
Added Note plugin.
Category setting in note now correctly updates window text caption
Date category no longer includes blank in caption

For example, writing a new plugin for Notes, with 51 (yes 51!!!)
services in it -- obviously it is not true that Bruce "is not very
interested in improving them".
