NANY 2015 Release: Active Text Notes
Description We already have many electronic post-it-notes like notes for our computer. Most work just like paper paper version. Well they do most of the job, we normally require from them. They act as a static object, the text of which are added/ edited by us manually. Well I needed similar desktop note but active. I wanted it to show the text content from a text file. The text file will get altered either manually by me or from another program. Not a big deal here. Well I wanted more. I want the note to run the program generate the text and display it. But, it should not disturb me. It should do it's work silently and update the text on the note on the desktop. I will, when I feel like, will glance at it to get the information. My free app "Overlap Wallpaper" gave me an idea. I made Active Text Note, which is similar to it, but shows a text file content. Features Active Text Note runs a given program and displays the output text file on the desktop. We can display directory listing of a network folder, auto backup log file text, latest text info. from a url etc. I made few helper programs for downloading url, html to text conversion, text extraction etc. Screenshots https://sites.google...xtnotes/screen-shots Usage Installation To install, extract the zip file in a folder, say "Active Text Notes", and run the "Active Text Notes" exe. To uninstall, right click on tray icon of "Active Text Notes" and select 'Exit'. Then delete all files in the "Active Text Notes" folder and remove the "Active Text Notes" folder. Using the Application In settings option set the program to run and the text file name to be read. You can leave program name blank. |
