Enough of this banter and persiflage; this blog is starting to read like the Pack Rat of Sumatra storyline from Daniel Pinkwater's NORB. Someone wants to know about Notebox Mismanager 3.
NM3 has a long history of false starts and dead ends¹, and has in fact started over again with a project whose source code you will find in the Files section of the Squirrel Technologist site under the name Scratch.zip. As of this moment there isn't much of a reason to download that file unless you're into compiling Qt projects. It's pre-beta, maybe pre-alpha; some of the false starts and dead ends got as far as being compiled on Windows, but this one hasn't.
What does it do, besides compile without errors on Linux? Upon startup it scans through the system's Documents folder and subfolders therein looking for .txt, .htm and .html files, which it loads and then displays in the traditional grid format, presenting each subfolder as a category. There is a popup category navigator. Files can be edited; changes to files are held until the Save Changes function is invoked. And you can select a different folder to scan.
My current intent is to import and upgrade functionality...I'm going to say daily for the sake of the amusement value...with commentary placed here when it happens.
You may now burst into tears.
