I did it! As of today, the new Keepmark 1.41.0 is available for download. There’s not much new this time - it’s a more technical release. The biggest visible change is the new view for tags. From now on, access to tags is in the folder list view, or filters (instead of a separate view), which makes it even more convenient to filter the documents of interest. In addition, these tags can be organized into groups to more easily reach the ones expected, and when working with them, you can select many of them at once. I’ve also worked on increasing the smoothness of the application.

When it comes to me, one of the less frequently used functionalities is just the document review based on tags. Which is strange, because they add quite a bit of value when searching for documents. I decided to change this a bit and look into why this is the case. I came to the conclusion that the problem here is that they are not very convenient to use in Keepmark, and I set about redesigning this panel. I removed the dedicated view for them and moved them to the filters view (which should also be redesigned) and folders. From now on, tags can be used to further narrow down the filter or folder of our choice. That’s not all though - take a look at the screen below.

Another month of work and another version of Keepmark ready for download. Within this release you can find 3 new features - cookie management, icon assignment to selected folders (along with minor changes to the folder view), and the ability to add notes to documents. I’ve already mentioned the first 2 in earlier posts, while the 3rd feature seems the most attractive to me. It allows you to add and display notes on the side of a document, making it much easier to work with a particular document, both when creating it and when extracting important information from it.

When you organize documents within folders, you may have trouble locating the right folder in which you want to place a file, or where the documents you just need are located. Choosing the right folder name is very helpful in this. In the upcoming version of Keepmark, I have introduced the ability to mark folders with icons. This is an additional marker for a folder, so that you can locate the right one faster, without having to read through their names.

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.
