[Important] Introduction

First line of the note becomes the same font style as the first line of the previous note. This specification is part of the Cocoa view.

First I tried to change the specification. And when I thought about it, I noticed that convenience.

The font style of the second line of the new note do not take over the font style of second line of the previous note.

In other words, the font style of the second line of new note take over the font style of first line of the new note.

You set the font style if you like the first line of a "previous note". the subsequent note becomes to treat it as the default font style.

"Previous note" and is as follows.

  • If you add a new note to the first of an existing note. The first note of an existing note is "Previous note".
    (which is the default of this App.)
  • If you add a new note to the last of an existing note. The last note of an exisiting note is "Previous note".

This two can be chosen in "Preferences" panel. Then without rebooting, become effective immediately.

Tutorial

Explains how to use of the Jotter in tutorial format.


■ First note

When you boot Jotter the first time. A blank note is provided one. You can enter immediately.

The plans for tomorrow. let's write ToDo. When you added some text. When you deleted some text. The black dot is appeared in the close button of upper left of the window. This black dot means that there are changed data, and represents that it is not saved yet. "Save" of the "File" menu choose, or [command + S] key is pressed, the black dot disappears data is saved.

"1 of 1" in the bottom of the window means following.

  • The first number means an ordinal number of current note.
  • The next number means the total number of notes.

As the title of the note, the bottom right of the window the first line of the note appears.



■ Send email

Send "To tomorrow" to the iPhone or other mobile phone. "Mail" of window click the button. The title of the note is Subject automatically. The text of the note becomes the body of the email automatically. You need only specify the destination.

In addition, the default ofJotter remembers the window position and window size when last used. When you start again Jotter. The window will appear in last position and size. If you want to appear the window in center. In the preferences panel please select "Center". This setting take effect the next boot.



Sending e-mail. Synchronization of data. Such as. When specification of "iCloud" becomes clear. I think Situation may change.
Futhermore. The minimum window size is width 480px height 270px. The maximum window size is width 480px height 720px . Width is always fixed at 480px.


■ Deleting a note

"To tomorrow" Want to leave note. Or want to delete? This time let's learn to delete.

To delete a note, click "-" button. Then the alert sheet come down. And if you really want to delete a note. Please click "Delete" button. if you want to cancel delete. Please click "Cancel" button.
When you delete "To tomorrow". The number is "0 of 0". However, Jotter makes "1 of 1". Jotter provides a new blank note automatically, when note becomes 0.



■ Smart Links

Jotter automatically detect e-mail address and URL. And link them. This link is called "Smart Links". Here, let's make a list of bank accounts. This is a list of for my own account, fairly can be useful.

URL or email address and a link will take effect after you enter a line break.



If you created an app in OS X 10.7 and Xcode4.1. Smart Links works fine in 10.7. However, don't work fine in 10.6. Also Jotter was created by 10.7 and Xcode4.1. I think that Smart Links of Jotter1.6.5 do not work properly in 10.6 sometimes.



■ Add a note

Next, let's add a note. Click "+" button in Bottom of the window, and the new note will be provided and the page number column becomes "1+ 2". This is becouse Jotter adds a new note at first of all notes. This setting can be changed to "Add to end" in the Preferences panel. In that case, the page numbers column will be displayed "2 of 2"
Scroll bars appear automatically when turning off the note into the window. Or you may want to maximize the window by clicking the resize button.



■ Viewing Notes part1

We have 2 notes now. There are 2 button of "◀" "▶" in bottom of the window. please try to click them. "previous note" "next note" can move to. When there is no more previous note or no more next note, each button can't click automatically.

Previously had been able to specify position to insert a note. However, It was just simply confused.


■ Viewing Notes part2

Next to the right of "1 of 2" . There is the button of three parallel lines. Please try clicking on it. The window would change to the note list. Please click the title of the note to see note you want from this list. Go to the note you want. "×" button appeared instead of The three parallel lines. You "×" click, you could return to the original note screens. Futhermore in the list can change the order of the notes by Drag.
Furthermore, The window has been maximized, in order to have a look at just the purpose. No rules that you must maximize the window to display the list.



■ Viewing Notes part3

Last browsing notes, would used pop-up button (pop-up menu). Please move a mouse pointer over the title of the note that displayed in the lower right of the window. You would notice there is a popup button in there. Please click the pop-up button, and select menu item. the note is displayed.



■ Jotter termination

Jotter can to terminate in the following three ways.

  • Select "Quit Jotter" in "Jotter" menu. Or [command + Q] keys press.
  • Select "Close" in "File" menu. Or [command + W] keys press.
  • Click the Close button in the window.

■ Alert sheet of Save

When terminate Jotter. If there are unsaved data, an alert sheet displayed. Explain each button of the alert sheet.

Save
Save unsaved data and terminate the application.
Cancel
Cancel the application termination itself. Unsaved data will not be saved.
Don't Save
Without saving unsaved data, exit the application. Furthermore, using this button, even if you delete a not wrong note wrong, can restore that deleted data. However, unsaved data of the other notes would do not save, too.

Cheers for good work.

Concludes the description of Jotter easily. I think we can use color and ingenuity. Enjoy Jotter.
