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.

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.
