Welcome to the Notesbrowser User Manual!
Here is an overview of the main screen of Notesbrowser. The main screens of our products Notesbrowser Lite and Notesbrowser Editor look a bit different because they have less features.
Most important is the
area in the middle of the screen where the notes are entered. You can see five
notes fields with their description lines.
The search is in the
icon title bar.
Just enter some letters and press
the Return key. Immediately you are at the position where the text is (Key F4). Continue your search
with Key F3.
The reminder for
scheduling appointments can be accessed with this icon from the title bar icon
or with the
key F8. You can set alarms to your appointments.
The icon title bar
with many useful icons. Can be switched on/off with CTRL + F2.
On the right side are
categories. Each of them can have multiple pages with notes.
At the bottom, below
the notes, is a tab bar where you can select different pages of the selected
category.
With the small arrow
below the categories you can access the next column of categories.
There are 3
columns with 20 categories each.
The installation is typical. There is one difference, because Notesbrowser can work on a stationary computer or in a portable environment:
1.) During the installation you need to decide: Do you want to use Notesbrowser only on this actual computer? This is default and valid for most users. Or do you want to use it on a portable drive or on a cloud drive?
2.)
If you want to use it on a single computer, just
install it in the recommended folder, usually C:\Program Files\Notesbrowser
This option is default.
3.) If you want to use it on a flash drive etc. install it there, e.g. E:\Notesbrowser (E: = Flash-drive-letter)
This decision is made during the installation, so you decide where exactly the program is installed. In the next step, you decide where the data will be stored.
At the first start, Notesbrowser greets you with a welcome screen.
Here you can select where Notesbrowser saves its data:
At this screen you decide where Notesbrowser saves its data:
· in the standard Windows directories (this option is default) or
· on a flash drive or similar (portable mode).
Your choice will decide where database and settings are located. Installation directory was chosen by you in the in step.
1.) Save into user profile and documents folder
With this choice the default Windows directories will be used:
C:\Program Files\Notesbrowser Installation-directory
..\Documents\Notesbrowser Database+appointments
..\User Profile\AppData\Roaming\Notesbrowser Settings
If you don’t want to use a flash drive or similar: This is your option.
Notesbrowser saves settings and data in the standard Windows folders.
With this option you can choose button Change to select a different path to put your Notesbrowser database. Only if you know what you are doing.
This is for example useful if you want to store your database in a directory on the network or in a cloud folder, e.g. Dropbox but want wo keep the installation/program on your local computer.
1.) Save into the Installation directory
This option is useful if you want to take (physically!) away Notesbrowser with the installation, the database and the settings.
Example: you have installed Notesbrowser on a flash drive (which you could take away) and this means it has to save its data also on this flash drive. No data will be saved outside this flash drive, because relative path will be used.
Typical structure, if E: is your flash drive:
E:\Notesbrowser\ Installation-directory
E:\Notesbrowser\Database Database+appointments
E:\Notesbrowser\Settings Settings
Now you can take the flash drive with you and use it on different computers - with your personal database always in place.
Example for portable mode with a flash drive:
Wrong mode selected (For experienced users!)
If you later want to use Notesbrowser the other mode, you can do this:
1.) Make a backup (with the inbuilt backup in the settings).
2.) Better also make a full copy of your database with the Windows File Explorer.
3.) Deinstall Notesbrowser.
4.) Delete the settings files manually, or move them to a different location. If you don’t do this, Notesbrowser will detect the settings files and will use them. It will not ask you about the mode which you want to change!
5.) Install Notesbrowser again and choose the right mode at first start this time.
6.) Recover your database and settings from the backup path. The recovery will use the mode chosen at installation.
Important basic features
Settings:
You can open the options with the key F10
Freeform: Use the key
F5 to
start the Freeform Mode where you can set the size and position of the notes
fields (Pro Edition only)
Backup:
Key F9

Help:
To open the help, press key F1
Categories
The 20 buttons on the right side are called categories.
The first category is named Tutorial at the first start of Notesbrowser and is
usually indented, which means it is selected. Select categories with a mouse click.
A category is best described as folder and can hold multiple pages with notes.
With a right mouse click on a category a menu pops up where you can change the name and color, e.g. use red color for important categories.
Pages
Every category consists of pages. They can be opened with the tab bar at the bottom of Notesbrowser:
You can change the names of a page. Just do a right mouse click on a tab and a menu will pop up.
You can delete pages with this icon:
You can add pages with this icon:
You can change the sequence of the pages with drag & drop of the mouse.
Columns (only Notesbrowser Pro Edition)
In the Professional Edition are small arrows
below or above the 20 categories. They look different for every skin, for example:
or
You can switch between Columns of 20
categories each with the arrows. If you are in the first column, there is only
one arrow below the categories, if you click it, there will also appear an
arrow on top of the categories where you can get back to the first 20 categories
.
There are 60 categories at all.
Collect notes
The main task of Notesbrowser is storing your notes.
Notesbrowser is designed to do this fast and the best way we can imagine:
First, it is always at hand: Notesbrowser launches
in the system tray and stays there, consuming nearly no CPU time
and memory until it is needed. If it is needed by you, for example if you have
an idea or find some useful information in the Internet, just press the Hotkey
F11 and
Notesbrowser is in the foreground in less than a second to take your notes. If
you are done with the note, press the hotkey again or press key F12 and Notesbrowser
is in the tray again, lurking. Your notes are saved automatic.
Easy note organizing
If you later open Notesbrowser, the last saved note is visible, because Notesbrowser remembers the last opened category and page.
The many categories and pages give you space to save to-so lists and address-lists, project information and more.
Launch Internet pages, files and folders
In every notes field you can start these links:
· Internet links can be launched with a single mouse click
· Files and folders, entered with full path, can be started with a double click
· Email addresses can be started with a double click – your Standard email program will be launched
· You can move files per drag & drop from the file explorer in Notesbrowser:
o You can move and drop the files directly into a notes field to insert them as OLE links.
Attention: This will work with single files only, and is only basically implemented at this time.
o Or you can drop the files on the border(!) of Notesbrowser to insert them with full qualified path - this will work also with multiple files. They are inserted in the first notes field on the page.
· You can start mp3s with full qualified paths, for example: C:\Music\Wham - Last Christmas.mp3
· A program needs to be installed that can handle the file type, for mp3 e.g. Winamp, because Notesbrowser does not launch files directly but directs them to Windows to start them
Notesbrowser is easy to learn
Most of the icons and buttons in Notesbrowser have a helpful tool tip hint if you move the mouse over the element. Do this with all icons you do not know!
If you don’t know what an icon or button does, just try it. You cannot destroy anything! Also try a right mouse click in different areas, because there are many different menus!
To change the arrangement of the text fields, you can:
· Change the page layout
· Use the Freeform mode (next chapter!)
To change the page layout, right
click on a page name in the tab bar below. Select Page Design
These are the arrangements for page layout:
Text fields can be arranged completely free in the Professional Edition. (And in Notesbrowser Editor and Notesbrowser Lite).
Click on this icon (or key F5) to start the Freeform
mode.
You will have new icons in this mode:
Here is how the icons operate:
Add a new
field to the page (also with the Insert key). Be sure there is space for a new field.
Split a
selected field in two text fields (key End).
Delete a
selected field (key Del)
Toggle
description line of selected field (key Home/Pos 1).
To change the arrangement of the fields use your mouse and drag & drop the text fields with it.
To resize text fields, click at a boarder, hold the mouse button and move the mouse around.
You can exit the Freeform mode with the buttons Ok or Cancel – you can alternatively use the keys Return or ESC.
Keyboard support
Use the keyboard in the Freeform mode: E.g. key sequence F5 - Insert - Return comes in handy to add a new field very fast.
If you click on a category button with the right mouse button, you can choose some useful actions from the menu. You can rename it, delete it, change color, open the print preview and more.
Move a category
You can move the selected category up or down. You can also change the sequence of the categories with drag & drop of the mouse.
Move a category into a different column
If you have the Professional Edition, you can drag & drop a category below or above an arrow to move it to a different column.
Notesbrowser saves automatic, if you:
·
click on this icon or press CTRL + S
· exit Notesbrowser (also at shutdown of Windows)
· change ore move the category
· minimize Notesbrowser
· open the settings
The search is a main feature. It is very fast and direct: Enter some letters of what you look for and start the search.
The search
box is located at the top of Notesbrowser. It can be accessed with the Key F4. With Return or key F3 you can search
subsequently! To stop a running search press ESC.
At the end of the search the page will be opened where the search was started. If the search was not successful, the text in the search box is red.
Notice: Reminder and calendar will be removed in the next mayor version of Notesbrowser!
Reminder
The scheduler (or reminder)
is a central feature which you can access from every page with the key F8. Another way to
the scheduler: You can click on left icon of the date preview bar.
Date Preview bar
The date preview shows the next date. If a date needs your attention it blinks. A click on the left icon opens the corresponding date.
You can turn this preview off in the configurations (key F10) and you can also move it to a different location with the mouse.
Enter new dates
You can enter
dates with the button New date from the reminder or from the right click
menu. If the calendar and the scheduler are both open, you can double-click on
a date in the calendar and you can then set up a new date for this day.
If you have entered a new date press Ok to confirm. You will see the new date appear in the reminder.
Change dates
Open the reminder with F8.
You can double-click on a date or select it and choose Change from the right click menu to change a date.
Attention! Please note that the scheduler does not allow you to enter a date or time in the past. If you try to do so the scheduler will automatically correct it. At the beginning, this is a bit confusing, but remember that you can always leave the change date dialog with Cancel and the date will not be corrected.
Set alarms
You can let Notesbrowser remind you to dates. Notesbrowser needs to run to do so. But it can run minimized and will remind you.
Move and resize the reminder
You can resize the scheduler window and date preview by dragging it at its borders. Calendar, scheduler, date dialog and preview bar can be moved with the mouse held down.
Adjust the scheduler
The table with the dates can be adjusted: You can change the width of columns in the headline by moving the separators. A column can be hidden by choosing it from the right-click menu.
Settings
In the configurations (key F10) you can select some useful options, for example the start day of the week.
Repetition dates
You can enter date series. Only the next date of the series is visible in the reminder, but if you reach the date, it will be repeated at the next date and you will see a message.
Birthdays and anniversaries
You can set yearly repetitions. You can also set the birthday flag and enter a birthday of the person or anniversary and see in the preview the age added to the preview text.
The calendar
F7 opens the calendar
With a double click on a date you can enter a new date in the reminder (if it is open). Right click on the calendar for more options.
With a click on the
settings icon (key F10) you open the settings of Notesbrowser:
On the left side you can choose the detail pages of the settings:
Settings: Info
On the info page you can see the Notesbrowser Version, installation path, the settings path and the database path.
Settings: Skins
You can select a Skin, this is how the surface of Notesbrowser looks.
You can download new skins from our homepage. Skins have to be un-packed and every skin needs to be in a single folder below the Notesbrowser\Skins path.
Settings: Backup
You can backup and also recover your database here!
Backup
Select a backup path and click this button. Your database will be copied to the backup path location.
Recover
If you have lost your database, choose the backup path where your backup is located and click the recover button. The database will be copied from the backup to the database folder.
Usually, you will not need to recover if you have accidentally deleted some text. With CTRL + Z (undo) you can undo many actions.
You often also don’t want to recover the whole database. If you want to recover only single categories, please read in our Forum how to do this!
Also look at chapter 15 for more information.
Settings: Font
You can select the global font. It is always possible to have more than one font in the text fields, but the global font can be used to reset text with CTRL + N or CTRL + Shift + V and also will be used in empty text fields.
Font size
If you select Automatic, the font size will be calculated depending on the Notesbrowser window size and your screen resolution. Adjust this if a particular font is too small or too big for you.
Settings: Controls
Show window on top
Choose this to have Notesbrowser float in the foreground above other programs.
Settings: Layout
Word wrap
The word wrap wraps text lines in all text fields.
Settings: Plugins
Plugins are more or less shortcuts to other programs that can be launched very fast from Notesbrowser with a right mouse click on the boarder.
There are 10 slots for Plugins in Notesbrowser. Some are predefined by default, for example for the MP3 Timer.
You can define Plugins in every slot. Use SET and then enter the path to the Plugin by hand or put a file per Drag & Drop on the window.
What you can use as a Plugin:
· Every startable program
· Every file and every folder
· Every webpage
· Every Script file
· Email addresses
Some Plugins can interact with Notesbrowser, for example the MP3 Timer.
Settings: Reminder
Settings are self-descriptive.
Settings: Register
Enter your registration data here if you have bought Notesbrowser. If you use the Freeware Version, you can start the Professional Version trial period here.
After that time you can return to use the Freeware Version again.
If you click in a text field with the right mouse button, you have some menu actions you can select from:
There are more right click menu with many actions in different areas of Notesbrowser.
Here is an overview over all right click menus
Right click on: |
Menu actions: |
|
|
In text fields Border (everywhere) & Symbol |
Formatting, print field... Help, Start Plugins, configuration, |
|
configure skins... |
On a page tab button |
Rename, Freeform, page layout… |
Category button |
Delete, print, change color... |
Calendar |
New date, change year... |
Reminder or date preview |
Hide columns, print dates... |
In some context menus the actions are slightly different, e.g. there are different ways to print: From the text field you can print a single text field, from the page menu a single page and from the category menu all pages – from the reminder you can print only dates.
With the print preview icon from the title bar you can see a print preview of the selected category.
The text you can see is generated from your notes and can be edited in the print preview. Trick: if you don’t want to print everything: Just delete what you don’t need from the print preview and then print.
From the text field right click menu you can print a single text field, from the page menu a single page and from the category menu all pages – from the reminder you can print only dates.
Internet bookmarks can be managed inside Notesbrowser. Just copy the internet link in Notesbrowser, write some comments and you can click on it to launch the link in your browser. You can make different bookmark categories easily.
You can also click on email addresses or file links.
Tables can be copied into Notesbrowser, e.g. from Excel or Word. Notesbrowser does not support creation of tables and supports them only basically.
You can press Return in a Tables last row to add a new row.
To change the columns, you need to copy the table to a different program and the changed table back.
Backup
If your Notesbrowser database grows, you will face the problem that you don't want to lose all your information with a crash of your hard drive or Windows. For this reason, Notesbrowser offers three features:
· auto saves your notes
· every category will be stored in a single file
· has an inbuilt backup and recovery facility (not available in Notesbrowser Editor and Notesbrowser Lite)
The backup is already inbuilt so you don't have to use another tool.
To make a full backup of all
your notes, appointments and settings all you have to do is press F9 or click on the backup icon.
We recommend that you change the backup path in the configurations (F10) to another physical hard drive, if you have two. This is because you can lose a whole hard drive in the worst case. But rarely will you lose two hard drives at the same time.
You can change the Backup
path with the button
The Notesbrowser database is very small so that you can back it up to an USB stick - we recommend this on a weekly basis.
Tip: Use the
scheduler to remind you to make a backup!
Recover
Use the recover feature if you have lost your database and need to recover your data from a previously made backup.
Note: We recommend looking into the Notesbrowser Forum for some very detailed explanation how to restore a database if you have lost parts of the database or are not sure what is happening. Please look in the F.A.Q. section of the forum. The information there is updated often to answer all common questions, and we get a lot of questions about database, backup and restore. You should know what you are doing, or you may destroy your database and backups if you make a mistake:
Recover if you have lost your whole database
1) Go to the configurations (F10)
2) Go to the backup page.
3) Click on Select path to choose the path where your backup is located
4) Click on the Restore button
5) If you confirm, the database from the selected path is copied to the Notesbrowser path
6) Notesbrowser will be restarted with the restored database already loaded
If you want to recover only parts of your database
If you want to recover only a single or a few categories of your database, you have to do this manually on file basis.
Attention: The following instructions are for experienced users only!
First you should open two Windows Explorers, one with the Notesbrowser database folder and the other one with the backup folder.
Notesbrowser files are basically text files with some formatting. Each category is saved in a single file (see chapter Tips and Tricks).
It is recommended to use the Notesbrowser Editor to open categories you want to look at. Use the Notesbrowser Editor with the setting that allows multiple instances.
Open the same category from the Notesbrowser database folder and also from the backup folder to compare them.
To compare two categories directly on file basis and see even small changes, use a text compare tool like the free WinMerge (http://www.winmerge.org).
With the above mentioned methods you can spot changes and copy back every change you want from the backup folder to the Notesbrowser folder.
Attention:
The sequence of categories and pages can be changed in Notesbrowser and this is
also reflected in the files!
Example: If you compare the actual category files with your backup files but you have moved categories in its sequence after you made the backup, the files where the content is stored may have changed and have a different name. For example, the first category (that on the top) is saved in this file: 01-01-Category.nbw
If you have moved the category to the second position, the content will be saved in 01-02-Category.nbw
The same applies if you moved or deleted pages inside of a category – the pages in a category are always saved in the sequence they are in the category. If you compare the same category but later have changes the sequence, the sequence of the file of the backup may be different.
Notesbrowser Lite is a lightweight version of Notesbrowser:
Notesbrowser Lite is reduced to notes keeping and organizing. There is no reminder, no calendar, no skins, no plugins and no inbuilt backup. Only 20 categories are supported. It is a small program that loads very fast.
Notesbrowser Lite is faster and smaller than Notesbrowser:
While Notesbrowser offers a lot of space and a reminder and a calendar, Notesbrowser Lite is more basic but can be used for e.g. current running projects and tasks.
Both programs can be combined very well, for example you could use:
1) Notesbrowser only for as a filing system and information and topic repository
2) Notesbrowser Lite consequently only for tasks and To-dos
Notesbrowser Editor works like a text editor with some features of a browser. But instead of text files it opens and edits Notesbrowser files (.nbw files).
Because it behaves like a text editor, you will not have problems to understand and use it. It also has features of a browser, e.g. you can choose a homepage and you have back and forward buttons.
The Editor is a perfect companion for the other Notesbrowser Versions and 100% compatible to Notesbrowser Pro, Notesbrowser Lite and Notesbrowser Freeware!
It's very lightweight - even lighter than Notesbrowser Lite - and has only basic features. It starts instantly and needs nearly no resources.
It includes the Freeform Mode. This means you can edit and arrange text fields.
Important features:
· Notesbrowser Editor can only open a single category (one single Notesbrowser file) at a time and does not have a column of categories on the right side.
· It can open Notesbrowser files everywhere on your PC, flash drive or network location (UNC paths are supported).
· Supports drag & drop: Drag a Notesbrowser file on the editor and it will open it. There is also an 'open file dialog'.
· You can associate the editor with .nbw files (Notesbrowser files) and then you can open all Notesbrowser files just with a double click.
· Remembers the last file and location and opens it.
· Single file, no installation necessary. Just unzip it!
Here are more information:
MP3 Timer is an easy-to-use alarm clock that counts down and plays your favourite music to remind you.
For example, you can set it up to remind you after 12 minutes that your Pizza is ready!
To use the MP3 Timer as a plugin in Notesbrowser, just put the exe file in the Notesbrowser plugins folder. Now you can launch the MP3 Timer with a right mouse click from the Notesbrowser border menu and also use it to remind at dates.
Here are more information:
Where does Notesbrowser save my data?
In the configurations on the Info page is a good overview.
Also, to find out where a category file is located, move the mouse over a category button, and a hint box will appear:
In the box you can see where the category is saved in, for example:
C:\Documents\Notesbrowser\01-03-Category.nbw
You can also right click on the category and select Open folder here to open the file explorer. It will open the folder with the category file selected. This also works in Notesbrowser Lite.
In Notesbrowser Editor you can select this feature from the right click menu.
Every category has its own file. They are all in the same folder. All other data like dates and configurations are stored in the same folder in XML files.
In the Professional Edition the columns 2 and 3 are saved in the files 02-01-Category.nbw to 03-20-Category.nbw
Notesbrowser on an USB flash drive
Notesbrowser, Notesbrowser Lite and Notesbrowser Editor can be used from a flash drive and started everywhere.
Read more in chapter 02 because this is a decision you should make at installation time (but you can change it later).
Command line parameter
You can run Notesbrowser with the parameter “-m”. If you do this, Notesbrowser will start minimized. This makes sense if you use this for a link in the startup folder. The link properties will have an entry like this in the target field:
C:\Program Files\Notesbrowser\nb.exe -m
The Notesbrowser setup normally creates this link. If you don't want Notesbrowser to start on every system boot, all you will have to do is delete the link from the startup folder.
Notesbrowser Lite and Notesbrowser Editor offer:
·
Completely free field arrangement with the
Freeform Mode (easy to use)
· layouts for pages:
·
Up to 50 pages per category
·

Notesbrowser is very stable. We spend many years to make it that reliable.
But there is no program that is completely free of bugs.
So, as always with computers, use the backup feature. Also update to new Notesbrowser versions that are released.
You can also report bugs in our free Notesbrowser forum. If you do so, please always report the version, windows version and exact steps to reproduce the bug.
You can also suggest new features.
Here you can register for the free Forum and submit topics.
