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.
- To create a new card, press Alt+N
. Press Alt+D
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
or Ctrl+PgDn
.
- To see a list view of the database, press Alt+L, F2,
, Ctrl+Enter,
, 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 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.
