Published on| October 22nd, 2014 | No Comment.
oulbook

I customized TuxCards in 'Portable TuxCards (MultiLanguage) for Windows'. But I found a few bug in TuxCards.

First, I thought bug fix in TuxCards, but I gave up,because it was included basic problems.
Second, I thought new software like TuxCards. So, just it is OulBook.
I have else a few factors for development of OulBook.

  • Stopped TuxCards version 2.21
  • Included a few bugs in TuxCards
  • Require more features to TuxCards
TuxCards is
outline processer with Qt and Licence is GPL, so it is open source.
It will manage your ideas by structuring tree, and the structuring document will convert to HTML format. Linux user was many this software's users, Linux users were this software's users, but windows users can use it, and Mac users too. So this software was not launch as binary for Windows or Mac.

OulBook was developed as backward compatible of TuxCards. And it will launch on this page, now.

On "OulBook Package in OulBook page ", you can download all files with the features described here.

Difference OulBook and TuxCards

OulBook was developed as backward compatible of TuxCards. So, it means OulBook can use ini file and xml file created by TuxCards.


Known problems in TuxCards

TuxCards has at least the following problems. But OulBook does not has it.

  • Can not create a entry of same description in same level
  • May lost a entry when execute drag & drop in tree widget

Difference OulBook and TuxCards on major features

OulBook has the following difference on major features of TuxCards.

Portability

TuxCards could use as portable software by that post. OulBook can also use as portable software. But default icon feature will not be able to use.

Detail informations of some features that provided by that post is the following.

  • Portability

    You will be able to use just now if you copy some files any directory of your pc. and you will be able to move its directory to another pc or another directory very easy.

  • japanese language file(tuxcards_ja.pm)

    You will be able to custom to your language if you translate oulbook.ts, and convert to oulbook_xx.pm.(MultiLangeage)

  • Removed CactusBar and Donation informations
  • Can select theme like windows xp

    You can select theme like windows xp if you edit configure file(.tuxcards) like following. But you can edit only themes(windowsxp or windowsvista) provided by Qt 4.8.6 .

    [General]
    ...
    WidgetStyle=windowsxp
    ..
  • Can not set default icon of entry

    Custom TuxCards(by that post) can set icon for each entry. But OulBook can not set it.

  • Splitter works smooth within any width
  • Sample lua script that convert from "."(dot) text format(WZ Editor) to TuxCards xml format

    WZ Editor is famous outline processer in japanese.

Ini file name

Ini file name was changed from '.tuxcards' to 'oulbook.ini'(Windows). And it will be '.oulbook' on Mac and Linux in near future(?).

GUI of entry(node)

You can edit attributes of entry(node) on main windows. You had must edit on property windows in TuxCards, but case of OulBook, it will be able to edit very easy on main windows.
So, icon and description and expiration date and font color etc....

And you can change document format (RTF,ASCII) at anytime. But if you want to change from RTF to ASCII, you will lost some attributes of document(font color, etc).

Search

TuxCards had only one window for search and its result. But OulBook has each windows seach and its result. As many times, you can search any word, and its all result will be sent to other window, of course be shown on it until you will remove.

Command(CUI)

Command(CUI) does not work on TuxCards for windows.
OulBook has other execute file('oulbookc.exe') for Command(CUI). Its file will work as CUI.

Export to HTML

TuxCards had exported to HTML that used frame tag.
TuxCards will export to HTML that will not use frame tag. So, it means one html.

Insert Entry

TuxCards had one method for add child entry(node). TuxCards has a few methods for add entry(node), for add root entry, for add above select entry, etc.
And you can hide root item.


Installation and Execute

  1. First step, you should download OulBook Package on OulBook page OulBook(MultiLanguage) for Windows, extract it to any directory.

    it may not work if you extract it to directory that everyone can not write.

  2. And if you want to use another image format of png, you download "Qt images plugins" and extract to installed directory.
  3. Next and final step, you can execute oulbook.exe.
