I finally decided to address a problem that has been bothering me for a long time. Until now, all cookies were stored in the application’s memory, causing them to be deleted when restarting the application. The problem mainly occurs when we keep links in the application to some cloud resources that require us to log in. In such a case, every time you launched Keepmark you would have to log in again to get to them. In the upcoming version there will be a Cookie Manager that will store cookies permanently.

It’s time for another release - Keepmark 1.39.0. In this release, there is a mechanism for discovering news from web pages (as I mentioned earlier) based on RSS/Atom feeds and headlines on the page - you no longer need to search what is the address for a given page for feeds, Keepmark will do it for you. Another change is the ability to export documents from a given folder in the repository. I also spent a lot of time on improvements to the markdown/textpack editor.

One of the characteristics of Keepmark (an advantage or disadvantage - depending on the context and the problem you want to solve with Keepmark) is that it stores information/meta-data about documents in sidecar files. This makes it easier, moving the documents along with the meta-data, but also makes it a bit “messy” if we want to view these files outside of Keepmark. In the upcoming version, I wanted to mitigate this problem a bit by providing the ability to export files located in a selected folder.

The new release will bring more convenient way to add Feed/RSS channels. Until now, to add a news feed you had to enter its name, and find the URL of such a feed. In the new approach, you only need to know the address of the site from which you want to download news. By pasting this address in the window for adding a new feed, Keepmark itself will try to recognize all the information. However, if the site does not have its own RSS/Atom feed, Keepmark can try fetching news from the page based on the headlines. The new component also shows a preview of the selected source so that you can verify what news is published for each available source.

Today I’m releasing the latest version of Keepmark - 1.38.0. The most expected new feature here is the introduction of spell check for notes. This way, you don’t have to open the typed text in an external application to verify if there are any typos in the text. To start using this functionality, you first need to import dictionaries in the concerned languages (the app will also help with this). In addition, there are more smaller improvements and fixes. One of them is, for example, the presentation on the list of tasks the information about the project to which the selected task has been assigned.
