What's up!

Assalamu alaikum brother,

 

I hope you are fine. I haven't seen any development in noor from the last time we were working on it. I hope everything is fine?

Everything's fine, thanks. And about the development, do you have any
specific feature or improvement in mind?

I was thinking about adding a feature which will allow the user to add comments to a specific aya. We can use the task pane which we had created for going to a specific surah and aya. We can add a text area in the task pane and then user will be allowed to write a comment about the aya he wants and save the comment.

 

It is a very useful feature as many have requested to add this feature to Zekr.

 

If it is possible, it will be great.

Good idea. As with bookmarks, I think the way notes are saved is very
important; I suggest using a directory, ~/.noornotes by default:

* notes for the kth aya of jth sura can be put in j-k.txt
* notes for kth sura can be put in k.txt

This way anyone can edit these files directly, too. Maybe we can add
these, too:

* auto_taskpane config: if set, show the task pane automatically when
the current aya or sura has some notes
* toggle_note key: a key to hide/show task_pane

Good. But, please don't remove the Surah and Aya fields. We should have both the features in one Taskpane.

How about adding a new horizontal panel (unlike task pane)? this will
make writing long lines easier.

I've added it to the repository. Use A (ie. shift-a) key (or the
mouse) to add a note (which is shown in a box above the status bar).
Use N (ie. shift-n) key to toggle its visibility. Also you can use
gtk.notes_dir and gtk.show_notes configs. Does it work for you?

Will check it tomorrow morning. Insha'Allah.

Brother I checked Noor's comment feature. It is just great. You have easily implemented it. Masha'Allah.

I just saw something missing there! can't we add a small "Close" button at the right of the Notes and Search bars?

As there is in Firefox's search bar. Press Ctrl+F, you will see it.

It was added. Also I've added gtk.hide_buttons variable to hide all
search and note buttons.
