Cherrytree 1.6.3 has been released, offering a versatile and free hierarchical note-taking application compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. This software allows users to manage notes with rich text formatting and syntax highlighting, and it stores data in a single XML or SQLite file. Additionally, a portable version that requires no dependencies is available for those who prefer a lightweight option.
The design of Cherrytree can be visualized as a tree structure, where the root represents the main document and each "node" acts as a branch, further branching out into sub-nodes. This layout is reminiscent of other outlining programs such as OmniNote and Keepnote, making it user-friendly for those familiar with such tools. Cherrytree consolidates scattered information into a single, organized document, simplifying the process of information retrieval.
- Syntax Highlighting: Compatible with multiple programming languages for code snippets.
- Image Handling: Users can insert, edit, and save images as PNG files within their notes.
- Embedded File Handling: Allows the insertion and saving of files directly into the note.
- List Management: Supports bulleted, numbered, and to-do lists, with easy switching options.
- Table Support: Enables simple tables, with options for cut/copy/paste and CSV import/export.
- Codeboxes: Users can create plain text codeboxes with optional syntax highlighting.
- Text Alignment: Offers alignment options for text, images, tables, and codeboxes.
- Hyperlinking: Users can link to web pages, other nodes, files, and folders.
- Spell Check: Integrated spell check using pygtkspellcheck and pyenchant.
- Cross-Application Copy/Paste: Facilitates easy sharing of content with other applications like LibreOffice and Gmail.
- File Management: Users can copy lists of files directly into Cherrytree, creating links to those files automatically.
- Export and Printing Options: Allows for PDF printing, HTML exporting, and plain text exporting of selected nodes or the entire tree.
- Search and Replace Functionality: Comprehensive search and replace capabilities across nodes and subnodes.
- Import Options: Supports importing from various formats including HTML and plain text files.
- Password Protection: Offers a layer of security by allowing users to password-protect their notes.
- Drag and Drop Functionality: Users can easily rearrange tree nodes through drag and drop.
In summary, Cherrytree stands out as a powerful tool for users looking to organize their notes hierarchically while providing a rich set of features that enhance the note-taking experience. With continuous updates and a robust feature set, it remains an excellent choice for anyone needing a comprehensive solution for information management. Future enhancements could include improved collaboration tools, mobile app support, or integration with cloud services for seamless access across devices
