About Malkov Notes

Malkov Notes provides users with more tidy and pleasant working environment that gives notices right in time. Malkov Notes is a notebook that will always contain a page for one more note.

Next features make this program interesting:

-	simple, intuitive and customizable user interface

-	a maximum of 16000 notes per group is practically out of reach

-	the organization of notes inside of groups is customizable and free to change, similar to organization of files in your computer system

-	it is possible to search for desired text among all entered notes or inside a group of notes

-	notes can be printed in self-evident form

-	automatic saving makes all entered notes safe

-	connection with WWW browser and Email software

Conception

Notes are divided in some groups. Into any note a new note can be added, so every note can act dually: as writing note and as folder that contains other notes (that can contain other notes, and so on...). Any note can be moved into another one, inside the same group. Groups of notes are separated sets of notes.

Commands can be ordered using object menus and keyboard.

Hardware And Software Requirements

Malkov Notes runs on the IBM PC family of computers based at least on:

-	386 or newer processor with 4 MB RAM

-	MS Windows 3.1, MS Windows 95 or MS Windows NT installed

-	about 1 MB free HDD space

Registration

This is a fully functional unregistered version for evaluation use only. Any other use requires registration and purchase of a license. Unregistered version use requires acceptance of shareware license.


Window

Malkov Notes window contains five parts:

Header is placed at the top of the window and contains titles of two main parts of working area: title Notes marks a note tree, while Text marks note's text editor. The most important element of the header is the vertical line that splits header in two parts. By dragging this line left or right, user selects working area parts sizes.

Note tree is positioned at the left side of working area and contains the note tree hierarchy of the active group. Any note that contains other notes (and acts as a folder) can be opened or closed. Note tree is used for selection of desired note by clicking its title using left mouse button.

Text editor is positioned at the right side of working area and is used for notes editing and reviewing.

Alarm line is placed at the bottom of the text editor. If there is an alarm connected to active note, its activation time is displayed here. White clock marks alarm that is not made active yet, red clock marks activated alarm and blue one marks an activated alarm that is snoozed for a while.

Group tabs are placed at the bottom of the window. Every note group is represented by a tab with a note group title. Clicking tabs, user selects groups.

    Group Commands

All notes are organized into groups. It is possible to create up to 20 note groups. In every group an independent hierarchy of notes is formed.

Group can be activated by choosing the appropriate group tab inside the bottom part of Malkov Notes window, or using shortcuts Ctrl+Tab (next group) and Ctrl+Shift+Tab (previous group). Before changing the group, the active note is memorized. When making a group active, the last used note in the group is activated.


Creating A New Group Of Notes

A new group of notes can be created using New Group command (see Group Commands or Main Menu). Before a new group is created, the user is prompted to enter the group title, which can be changed later.

and

    Notes Commands
    Editing Commands

Every note can contain other notes, and it is possible to create desired notes hierarchy inside every group of notes. To make the use of Malkov Notes easy and intuitive, use a few groups of notes and a complex hierarchy of notes inside them.

Any note, which contains other notes, can be opened by double click, which makes all subnotes visible. The active note is marked with black line. Notes could be activated using left mouse button, or shortcuts Alt+PgUp (previous note) and Alt+PgDown (next note).


Creating A New Note

There are two commands for creating notes: New Note and New Sub-Note (see Notes Commands or Main Menu). The difference is in the place in hierarchy where the new note will appear. New Note command creates a note in the same group and the same hierarchy level where the active note belongs. New Sub-Note command creates a note inside the active note. In both cases a new note appears at the end of notes list at the appropriate hierarchy level.


Editing A Note Text

There is a Text editor positioned at the right side of Malkov Notes working area. It is used for notes editing and reviewing. Usual Windows editing commands are available using standard shortcuts and menu.

See Editing Commands or Main Menu.


Removing Useless Note

A useless note can be removed using Delete Note command (see Notes Commands or Main Menu), if there are no any sub-notes inside it.


Changing A Note Title

Every note can be titled manually or automatically. Title can be created automatically by copying few words from begin of the note. Using Rename Note command (see Notes Commands or Main Menu) user can enter desired note title.

A new note is automatically titled. An automatically created title begins with a period ('.'). If the first character of the manually entered title is a period, the note is automatically titled, too.


Reorganizing Notes

Sub-notes can be moved from one note to another using drag&drop technique, while any of Shift, Alt or Ctrl keys is pressed:

1.	Point the note to move, and press the left mouse button, without releasing;
2.	Press and hold any of Shift, Alt or Ctrl keys;
3.	Point the note to move into;
4.	Release the left mouse button and the pressed key;

Below the alarm list, the exact activation time of selected alarm is shown, together with time of its next repetition. Actual time and date are shown in the left bottom corner of the dialog.

Every alarm in the list is marked by a clock. A white clock marks an alarm which activation time has not passed. A red clock marks an alarm that is activated and waits for the user reaction.
