NeoMem

July 17, 2008

New Version 1.2b released March 1, 2006

• Index View includes ability to filter by class
• Use Ctrl+D for strikethrough format
• Bugfix: pasting large amounts of text (~5000 lines) would crash the program.
• Bugfix: Incompatibility of password protected files between Windows 2000 and XP.
• *Important* If you're on Windows XP and use password protection on your files, please turn it off and resave the files before upgrading to version 1.2b. You can turn it on again after the upgrade. This had to do with the different platforms offering different cryptography providers - NeoMem now defaults to using what is effectively the Windows 2000 provider.

Version 1.2a released February 20, 2006:

• Export entire file or selected object (recursively) to csv (this has limitations, as far as being imported to other programs - Excel has a 32k character per cell limit and Access a 64k character per row limit, which makes this feature less useful than one might hope. But someday there will be an export to XML feature...)
• Uses an ini file instead of the registry for storing options
• Added File, Folder, Email, and Website property types, to replace the Hyperlinks type (which is still available, though deprecated)
• Added Strikethrough format
• Insert date/time from Edit menu or F5 key
• Use Alt+, and Alt+. for back/forwards
• Use Alt+Backspace for undo, in addition to Ctrl+Z
• Various bug fixes, including the one of printing extra blank pages

Introduction

NeoMem allows you to store and organize all kinds of information in a cross between a word processor and database. The interface is similar to Windows Explorer, except that instead of dealing with files on a hard disk you deal with objects in a file.

It can be used to store to do lists, books, website passwords, addresses, account information, and collections of all kinds. You can define your own classes for items that you want to store information about, and define properties for those objects. Each object can also store formatted text in a simple word processor view.

• Class Wizard walks you through creating your own classes and properties for new objects.
• Comes with an example/tutorial file to help you get started.
• Comes with dozens of icons, and you can also easily import your own from standard .ico files.
• Small program size - designed so that you can leave it open while you do other things on your computer - have all your information accessible at all times.
