tp-note 1.5.0

title: Tp-Note - fast note-taking with templates and filename synchronization

Tp-Note is a note-taking-tool and a template system, that consistently synchronizes the note's meta-data with its filename. Tp-Note collects various information about its environment and the clipboard and stores them in variables. New notes are created by filling these variables in predefined and customizable Tera-templates.

Upgrading

When you install a new version of Tp-Note, please delete the old configuration file, that is automatically written in

• Linux: ~/.config/tp-note/tp-note.toml

• Windows:C:\Users\<LOGIN>\AppData\Roaming\tp-note\config\tp-note.toml>

The reason is, that the structure of the configuration file might change from version to version. For example, new configuration variables might be added: When Tp-Note starts, it reads the old configuration and will complain about a malformed structure. I recommend deleting the old configuration file, even when there is no error message: new template-variables might activate new features, that will only be available, when Tp-Note starts with a fresh default template.

There is no need to say, that in case you modified the configuration file, you should backup it before deleting.
