How To Use

I wanted to make it easier creating .txt and .md files for taking notes in for class. The way I keep up with school is having a folder for each class.

This program allows you to save multiple directories as favorites then create and open files inside those favorite directories.

class folders

In this example, when you press Launch Note, a file named new_note_6_12_20.md will be created on the Desktop then it is opened with the text editor VScode.

When Note Creator is closed, it creates a settings.ini file in the release folder. It then writes the favorite paths to the file to keep track of favorites between sessions.

class folders

When Note Creator is opened, it reads the contents of settings.ini and sets the favorites accordingly.

How to build from source

  1. Download Qt Creator from here.
  2. Open the file note_creator.pro in Qt Creator.
  3. Use the build function within the program.
