ScrapBook 2.30 Help

ScrapBook is a text database that organizes text data of all kinds.  It can be used equally well as an address book, to-do list, web bookmark list, start menu replacement, source code pool, or a collection of random bits of information.

ScrapBook databases are organized into cards, which are analogous to pages in a book.  Each card contains text data, and uses the first line of text as an index.  All or some of the card indexes can be viewed together as a list, then perused and edited.

ScrapBook is meant to be simple to use.  To get up and running quicky, test all the buttons and try using hot keys.

  • To create a new card, press Alt+N new card image.   Press Alt+D delete card image to delete a card.  Cards can also be deleted in the list view or several cards deleted at a time by clearing all tags (Ctrl+U), tagging the desired cards, then executing Tag->Delete Tagged.
  • To find a card, enter a search string in the "Find" control and press Enter.
  • To navigate the database, press Ctrl+PgUp previous card or Ctrl+PgDn next card.
  • To see a list view of the database, press Alt+L, F2, list view, Ctrl+Enter, partial list, or Ctrl+T.

After you get up and running, use Alt+PgUp or Alt+PgDn to shift cards up or down in the database, and Ctrl+Space tag to tag cards.

Whenever you save a ScrapBook file, the last version of the file (if any), is renamed with a .bak extension.  It can be opened like any other ScrapBook data file, though it's recommended that the file be renamed with a .bk2 extension first.

ScrapBook is portable, registry green freeware.
