CherryTree

A hierarchical note taking application, featuring rich text and syntax highlighting, storing data in either a single file (xml or sqlite) or multiple files and directories. The project home page is giuspen.net/cherrytree.

Written by Giuseppe Penone (aka giuspen) and Evgenii Gurianov (aka txe).

Features

• Rich text (foreground color, background color, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, small, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, subscript, superscript, monospace)
• Syntax highlighting supporting several programming languages
• Images handling: insertion in the text, edit (resize/rotate), save as png file
• Latex math equations rendering
• Embedded files handling: insertion in the text, save to disk
• Multi-level lists handling (bulleted, numbered, to-do and switch between them, multiline with shift+enter)

cherrytree's Issues

Open multiple nodes at the same time.

crash after select a piece of text, right-click on it, and choose Insert/Edit Link

In both the latest and the previous version of CherryTree, I have occasionally 
lost some work due to unexpected crashes. This always happens when I select a 
piece of text, right-click on it, and choose Insert/Edit Link. Apparently the 
program crashes while loading the Link dialog, possibly because of loading the 
tree list.

The exact same action works well 99% of the time. When I re-open the .ctb, the 
problem does not reappear.

My files are all .ctb files around 55 MB. All nodes are RTF. There are at most 
3 levels. Node titles are up to 40 characters long. I work on Linux Mint 17 
64-bits. During my edits I typically move nodes around a lot, having them 
change title, father, and depth. I also make many new nodes. Current number of 
nodes is up to 250.

My best guess is that these problems emerge because my tree structure is big 
and frequently modified, so that occasionally something goes wrong when the Add 
Link dialog has to load the tree structure.

--------------

I have only recently started using CT, so I have never had a version that 
didn’t have this bug. Current version is 0.35.2, previous version was 0.34.1.

Zim import does not handle links

When importing a notebook from zim, the note links in zim (IE: links from one page in the notebook to another) are not converted into node links in CherryTree, and must be manually recreated.

Scrolling in Codeboxes causes freeze

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get an ammount of Code (maybe 50 rows) and put it into a codebox.
2. The codebox is shorter than that text inside.
3. NOw klick into the codebox and begin to scroll.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected scrolling in a codebox with defined static height. Issue: On scrolling 
the codebox increases length and cherrytree freezes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CherryTree 0.35.2
Linux Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Kernel 3.13.0-32-generic x86-64,

Please provide any additional information below.
Issue starts perhaps with version 0.35.1

Anchors in tables

Placing an anchor (Edit > Insert Anchor) to a row in a table, places the anchor outside and at the bottom of the table. (Version: 0.35.7)

Todolist enumeration does not work if text font is changed

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Preferences, Fonts tab, change Text Font for eg Consolas Normal
2. Create a To-do list by pressing the button or Ctrl+Alt+3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to have an unchecked tick box as bullet but I get a symbol that looks 
like a square with four zeros inside. When I click on the symbol, nothing 
happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.35.5 on Widows 7 64-bits

Please provide any additional information below.

Scala syntax highlighting

It would be nice to have a Scala support. I was a bit surprised to not see it in the list, because it's more popular than e.g. F#, VHDL, Prolog or Haskell (at least according to Tiobe index).

Long node names are badly formatted in the tree

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a node with a long name (say, 60+ characters)
2. Look at the tree, the node name text will be wrapped to fit the tree area 
width, effectively creating a node 3+ centimeters high (on 1920x1080 screen 
resolution) which looks very ugly, takes lots of extra space and hinders the 
navigation.
3. You may take a look at this screenshot: http://joxi.ru/1A5b5BZFJP60rE

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Probaly some better formatting, like making it a single line with ellipsis at 
the end, shoring the full name when mouveovered or edited.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CherryTree 0.35.7 portable, Windows 7 Professional

Please provide any additional information below.
A very useful and promising program, please keep improving it.

Ctrl+C shortcut for copying not working properly within tables

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a new table, write some content in a cell
2. select the content and use Ctrl+C to copy it
3. then try to put it somewhere else using Ctrl+V

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the copied content of the cell reproduced, instead it will 
create a copy of whatever string was in the clipboard buffer before 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.35.6, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
If I use mouse right click + copy from the menu on the selected cell's content 
it works correctly.

Allow tabbing to a new cell in table cell edit mode

In table cell edit mode, currently a hard return navigates to the next available cell. Please map the tab key to the same behavior. Also, shift-tab should navigate in reverse between cells.

On a related note, pressing tab or return within the last visible cell should automatically create a new row without having to invoke 'ctrl-,' or use the menu.

Copy text from any app to CherryTree does not work

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Windows 8.1 x64, Notepad++ 6.6.9, CherryTree 0.35.3
2. Copy text from Notepad++ to CherryTree FAILS. No copy/paste, pressing Paste 
does nothing. Copying and pasting to all other apps works. 
Actually, copying and pasting from regular Notepad also does not work. 

It works from CherryTree to all apps. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Copy and paste should work, I suppose.

RFE: simpler way to create links to other nodes

This is a request for enhancement.

At the moment, the process to create a link to another node is as follow:
1. Put your cursor in the location where you want the link to be inserted
2. Type Ctrl+L (or use the menu)
3. Type in the name of the link, usually it will be the name of the node you 
want to link to. 
4. On the popup, select "To Node"
5. Navigate to the node you want to link to and press OK.

Issues:
1. you have to type and remember the name of the target node before the link is 
inserted.
2. the process is long


There might be several ways to address this. Here's one way which I think is 
not too bad, that's how OneNote solves the issue:
On each linkable objects (which could be only nodes for Cherrytree at first), 
provide an entry in the context menu labeled "Copy link to node".
Then, you can simply use the "Paste" action (ctrl+V, item from the context 
menu, ...) to paste the link to the other node.

The mechanism might not be immediately discoverable if you don't know about it, 
but once you know it is very efficient to create links to other objects. It is 
also generic if you want to create links to paragraphs, or links to other 
cherry tree documents and so on.

Outline maybe is needed in Cherrytree.

if time is enough.

Possible useful features

Hey man, nice work so far.
Have you thought in when saving instead saving into a unique xml file, breaking them into sub-xml files like folders so when i change only a page that xml is the only one that is update? (this would be faster if i modify a file that for example is on dropbox or something).
Also, it would be nice to have some menu where I could choose to take a selection screenshot and it would auto add into the page.

keep up the good work ;)

Feature Request: Insert Today's Date should be placed under the level you right-clicked from

Regression with quick-formatting

At first I have to describe, what I mean with ‘quick-formatting': While 
entering text in a rich text node I often make formatting as bold (for example) 
directly when I write the text. Until 0.34.x I was able to simply press ctrl-b 
after having written the whole word (without the following space), and the word 
got marked completely and formatted bold.

In 0.35.2 (probably also in 2 previous releases) I get a message box in this 
case, telling me, that no text was selected. I have to place the cursor 
somewhere in between the word (no marking is needed, so the error message is 
partly misleading), to make ctrl-b work. Even placing the cursor directly left 
of the first letter of the word works (as in previous versions).

This is cumbersome, because it destroys the working-flow and obviously it needs 
at least 1 additional key-stroke (on the left cursor-key).

The regression is obviously related with the new feature for double-clicking 
words with special sign in between. This relationship gets obvious, if I place 
the cursor at the end of a word, which is followed by a period (or @ or 
whatever is defined as special sign in the setting). If I place the cursor in 
between the last letter of the word and the following period, CT does not 
complain about missing text selection, but does the formatting the same way, as 
in previous releases.

Remember position of last time you visited a node

Suppose you are in node "A" , you scroll across the content and you are now in the middle of the page.

Then you exit program.
Then you execute it again, you start up in the same node but not in the same "scrolling" position.

(as expected)
4. If I do scroll down the scroll bar or hit the down arrow, Cherry fails ! 
a message box says  title : "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" text : "The 
application has requested the runtime to terminate in a unusual way..."

Cell selection in tables not perfect

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a new table
2. try to select a cell by clicking on it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to have the text cursor placed in the cell or the cell's content to be 
selected. Instead most of the time (not all the time!) the whole row is 
selected first and I have to click on the same cell again to be able to edit 
the content. I don't see the advantage in selecting the whole row first - on 
the contrary it slows me down if I try to insert data into a table.

This leads to a situation (e.g. with CS keyboard) when pressing <CTRL>+1 does not behave as <CTRL>+1 but as <CTRL>++. Mapping of symbols on Czech keyboard on a key 1 is +/1 not 1/! (EN keyboard). Similar problems will be undoubtedly with many non-EN keyboard layouts.

Question about update and suggestions

Hi,
i currently have cherrytree 0.35.2 ( and really like the program ! )
And want to update to the latest version, which i think is 0.35.8

How is the recommended way of doing it?
I would suggest if it could be done from the program interface, by entering the form ""Check newer version" , it would ask you if you want to update and so download latest version and auto-install it , it would be great for non-expert linux users.

Additional info:
This is from my terminal:

whereis cherrytree
cherrytree: /usr/bin/cherrytree /usr/bin/X11/cherrytree /usr/local/bin/cherrytree /usr/share/cherrytree /usr/share/man/man1/cherrytree.1.gz

No handling of list indentation levels

Right now I'm trying out CherryTree as a possible replacement for Zim. However, I have found two issues with it.

With every rich-text editing app I've tried, when at the front of an item in a bullet list (IE: the caret is before the text, but after the bullet and space), pressing tab will indent the bullet item's level. CherryTree does not follow this pattern, and instead indents the text while leaving the bullet alone. In order to indent the list item's level, you need to indent before the bullet.

The second issue is that when you are on a list item's line and press return, the indent level is not preserved.

So, if you had a list like this:

• One
  • Two
    • Three

And then hit return, the indentation level goes back to the first one, instead of matching the indent level of the third item. So, you would get this:

• One
  • Two
    • Three
• Four

Instead of this:

• One
  • Two
    • Three
    • Four

These are the only main issues I have so far that I find problematic. Based on other observed quirks (such as line-wrapping behavior), the real issue is that CherryTree doesn't support proper list indentation levels, in which case this report can be treated as a feature/enhancement request.

Style monospace text

Currently, plain-text and monospace-styled text are difficult to distinguish from one another within Cherrytree. Would you consider adding a style to monospace-styled text so that either it either (1) has a grey background or (2) has a border around the text--as is typically found when styling monospace markup output?

Here is an example of what I'm suggesting: ctrl-c, ctrl-v, if...then

Undo causes unexpected formatting errors

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a a node with any amount of text. Apply different rich-text formats 
to discrete portions of the text, such as bolding some words, highlighting 
others, adding bullet lists, underlines, etc.
2. Use ctrl+z or Undo command to revert some of these changes, and observe that 
the rich-text formatting gets distrupted (e.g., a whole section might now 
become unerlined).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Using cherytree version 0.35.6 with Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit.

Nested lists?

Would it be possible to have nested (hierarchical) lists?
I'm not talking about complex 1.2.3 notation, just a simple indent in/out to allow a new list to be created inside an item of an outer list, without breaking the counting or style of either lists.

On a more general note, I love Cherry Tree. IMO, it is by far the best notebook application I have seen on Linux, compared to many others. This is one of the things that keep me motivated in contributing to the community as well, seeing the great products that come out. Keep going strong!

I have not seen any kind of error before, thought I use CherryTree on daily

Please help me!
Best Regards
