Tree editing
You can create any tree structure you want! It is very easy to add nodes/articles to the tree,
delete nodes/articles, move whole sub-trees around using 'drag-and-drop', etc.
TreePad Lite for Linux is Unicode enabled.
You can enter western as well as non-western characters
into the article, tree-node titles and search toolbars.
For instance, you can mix western, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew and even Phonetic characters -
assuming the appropriate fonts are installed on your system.
Search
Search the entire database, or just the selected subtree
Search inside an article (forwards or backwards)
Search-replace (or skip) text in an article (forwards or backwards).
Integrated tree-search results pane which can be manually opened and closed.
Convenient keyboard shortcuts for all search functions
Hyperlink support
TreePad Lite for Linux supports plain-text hyperlinks to:
internal nodes/articles
data files on your local harddisk
directories on your local harddisk
Web pages
programs
shell commands
email addresses
and more.
Export
Under the file menu, you can find the following export functions:
Export a subtree or the entire database
to a single HTML file including nodes, articles, tree indentations (at each level) and active
hyperlinks (blue and underlined to: nodes, websites, etc.).
Export a subtree (nodes and articles) or the entire database
to single text file.
Export a subtree to a TreePad Lite .hjt file.
Export an article to a text file.
Export an article to an HTML file including active hyperlinks
(blue and underlined).
Current release
The current release is a beta (test) version and still misses some of the features
found in TreePad Lite for Windows,
such as: import, print, settings, system tray, copy/paste subtrees.
We will add most (or all) of these features in the course of 2012.
If you really need them at this point, you can use Wine to run
TreePad Lite for Windows
until the Linux edition is completed.
Usage and distribution
TreePad Lite for Linux is freeware for personal, corporate/business, government, NGO, church, etc. use.
Please also feel free to include TreePad Lite for Linux on download sites, software repositories,
CD's, etc. as long as you do not charge any money for the program.
About

Compatibility
TreePad Lite for Linux is compatible with any reasonably modern Linux distribution.
Files created using TreePad Lite for Linux can be directly opened using TreePad Lite for Windows and vice versa
with the following notes.
Files created using TreePad Lite for Linux can be imported into TreePad PLUS, SAFE, Business Edition and Enterprise
with the following notes.
TreePad PLUS, SAFE, Business Edition and Enterprise can export to TreePad Lite .hjt files which can be
directly opened using TreePad Lite for Linux with the following notes.
Notes for Linux 64-bit
Since TreePad Lite for Linux currently is compiled exclusively as a 32-bit program -
when running it on 64-bit Linux you need to have the standard 32-bit libraries ia32-libs installed
(usually these libraries are present, but if not than they can be easily obtained through your package manager).
A native 64-bit edition is planned.
It is possible to directly open or import (TreePad Lite compatible) .hjt files from the Windows editions into TreePad Lite for Linux (and vice versa), with the following notes: TreePad Lite for Linux uses the UTF-8 Unicode character encoding.
The Windows editions of TreePad
currently use an extended Windows ASCII characterset (more specifically, the Windows codepage of your current locale).
UTF-8 Unicode character encoding is compatible with the first 128 characters of the Windows ASCII characterset.
This means that most western characters will be interpreted correctly when transferring .hjt files
between TreePad Lite for Linux and the Windows editions.
For instance, if your texts are all in English, then you should expect few (if any) problems.
However, if you use non-western characters, special characters, or letters with accents, etc, these might
not be displayed correctly, unless you explicitly convert them.
To achieve the best possible compatibility between a TreePad Windows edition and TreePad Lite for Linux, you might want to convert your
TreePad .hjt file(s) to and from Unicode.
The Linux iconv command can convert text-based files to/from various character encodings.
For instance, to convert a TreePad Lite .hjt file from the WINDOWS-1250 codepage (Central and East European)
to UTF-8 (Unicode, TreePad Lite for Linux), you can use the following Linux command (on a single line):
iconv -f WINDOWS-1250 -t UTF-8
To list all available character encodings, just type:
my_inputfile.hjt > my_outputfile.hjt iconv -l
Below are the codes that iconv understands, and which can be used to convert .hjt files between
TreePad Lite for Linux and the Windows editions:UTF-8 - Unicode UTF-8 encoding
WINDOWS-874 - Thai
WINDOWS-1250 - Central&East European Latin
WINDOWS-1251 - Cyrillic
WINDOWS-1252 - West European Latin
WINDOWS-1253 - Greek
WINDOWS-1254 - Turkish
WINDOWS-1255 - Hebrew
WINDOWS-1256 - Arabic
WINDOWS-1257 - Baltic
WINDOWS-1258 - Vietnamese
MS936 - Simplified Chinese, TreePad ASIA
MSCP1361 - Traditional Chinese, TreePad ASIA
MS932 - Japanese, TreePad ASIA
MSCP949 - Korean, TreePad ASIA
