Should Novel-Essay-Pad exist?
PRESENTATION COULD LOOK LIKE THIS
Novel Essay Pad [NEP]
This is a creative, philosopher or humanist essay body text editor with
specialized features. Effectively write, edit and manage several open large
chapter or note-files. Uses safe format that can be shown in any texteditor
(may be sxw-editor). Write efficient in NEP and finnish lay out in word
processor or DTP.
For large text management it allows many open windows at the same time as
for charachter notes, chapters, chapter notes, to-do's, resources, research
notes and other applications as outliners to be open simultaneously.
There are (what I believe) two (2) new features that doesn't exist in
editors before.
1) The color categories wich allows text to be used repetedly and mixed with
other text and still belong to a txt-color-category. Via a hotkey it can be
toggled to show or not show (as is for viewing, printout and export) This is
new, and for writing body text by far better compared to an outliner. A std
wordprocessor don't even come close. This feature will be the ever after
standard in essay writing editors. Se more below.
2) You can also open several NEP application windows. In each open NEP you
can load many tabbed files. Then you tell each open NEP a name to be shown
in the the OS quick-bar. You can have all chapters in one window, all notes
on charachters etc in one and to-do's and idea files in another.(is this
technically possible?). This way you can manage 20 or perhaps hundreds of
open files with no effort at all (safe std method with just a twitch).
Features: Minimum memory usage /fast /large files /Drag & drop /tabs w file
name(See: EditPad Lite) /paragraph numbers /hotkeys (no flashy icons) /
cursor and pointer options (small & big, color) for low light LapTop use
/active line highlight /set std font /set font for "colored" text categories
(allow prnt & export of choosen txt) /autosave /redo in several steps /auto
install of OOo dictionary /senses weblinks /statistics in status bar (Black
body text category only): charachters, words, word length, scentence lenght,
page esteem., position, saved y/n, file location /
I have more ideas on how to do it and structure, but probably a competent
program author do it better then me(?) Anyone serious on giving it a try is
also welcome to mail me on this adress.
