; DownNote
; Version 0.2
; Generated using SmartGUI Creator 3.4
; Author: Maria Seliger
; This program creates textfiles to folders or files with the same name to
; enter description for folders & files.
; It uses for editing the freeware program PSPad, http://www.pspad.com/en/.
; You might use also other editors. In this case you have to change the locations
; in the lines which begin with Run
; Usage:
; 1. Open Folder to which you want add descriptions: Button Folder
; 2. Select Files and Folders from the listview element to which you want to
; add descriptions. Example:
; Backup | Backup.txt: To the folder Backup a file with name Backup.txt exists.
; In this case the Backup.txt file is opening for editing.
; Backup | new: No description file to the folder exists. A new file is created
; (empty or by template).
; File1.txt | File1.txt: No source file or folder exists to the text file. The
; text file is opening for editing.
; 3. If you want to use empty file templates you can use the button FileNote.
; It will create or open text files to the selected files & folders in PsPad
; Editor. There you can edit / view the content.
; 4. If you want to use templates you can use the button FileNoteTemplate.
; You have to select a text template and then the template is used for the
; new text files which are created. Existing files are only opened for editing.
; 5. To modify the view after creating the files use the button Modify.
; 6. You may also use the program FileNote in addition.
; See http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4595
; 7. Button Close: Closes the program.
; 8. Button Delete: Deletes corresponding text files to files / folders.
; 9. What to do next:
; Add button to combine selected text files.
; ? Add button to search in text with grep or agrep.
