Cherrytree

[Wirezfree]

Looking for a great way to keep Notes, create simple e-books, keep code snippets or just about anything you need to type/paste/save/file..??


Try Cherrytree, been using it now for just over 18 months, a life saver for notes and with it's search feature,
just type your notes, and find all refs in the future. I've only scratched the surface of using it.


Install via Menu > System > Install/Remove Software search for Cherrytree (it is now kept at latest version)


and if you still use Windows, there's a version available also.
So keep the file in a shared location, and access it from LL & Windows

Hadn't seen this post until now.

Just wanted to say Wirezfree turned me on to this program when he first started with LL and I was helping him get installed.  It really is an excellent note program and I've been using it every day since he pointed it out to me.  So, I second his recommendation of this for those of you looking for a good note program.

Thanks again Wirezfree.

I have a certain approach to my installs:

- On my live USB stick I also keep an updated copy of latest cherrytree.deb and my most recent install.ctb file, the cherrytree data file with all my notes.
- I did have systemback on the stick, but that is now already in LL
- I do my install, do the absolute minimum config, then use systemback to create restore point.
- Then install cherrytree, and open my install.ctb with all my notes.
- I then proceed with all my set-up config and tweaks/changes
  >> Networking, Binding separate data partition folders to /home/folders etc... (no extra software installed yet, apart from cherrytree)
- I then use systemback to create another restore point. (I now have 2 restore points to recover from)
- I then take a "belt and braces approach", and image the disk.
- Finally I start adding the programs I use.

Going forward, depending on what I have been doing.?
I periodically create restore points, and the odd complete disk image.

It works for me

Wow!

Everyone's got their own system that works for them.

I don't do anything remotely close to all of that.  Just have all data on a separate partition that gets re-used on new installs (and backup copies of it elsewhere).  Have a list of programs I get rid of immediately after install and another list that I add to install.  Basically I just install, remove unwanted programs, run updates, install wanted programs, then link to the data partition ... done!  No Systemback, no clones.

I guess it may seem a bit OTT.
But ever since I started using XP end 2001 I had similar approach to SP's and a cautious approach to updates...
I only ever did 1 reinstall in 13 years, and that was by choice after I created very slim NLited install.

Will respond further via PM because we've veered way off topic here.

Thanks to both of you for highlighting Cherrytree,
I've been looking for a note app, which would do almost anything and keep things in one place.
first look at Cherrytree it seems well worth a try
So thanks.

Thanks for sharing, Dave!

I actually also started using Cherrytree some time back. It's no doubt a great program.

However, I've meanwhile moved on to Zim - A Desktop Wiki, which covers my needs even better.
What I like most about it:

1. In case I don't have Zim available I can use any text editor to read or edit my files.
   
2. Due to 1. I can simple synchronize my Zim notebooks to my phone and read/edit my files even on the go.
   

Just to chuck in an alternative
