PNotes.NET Control Panel

This is your central command point.

On the left side of window there is a tree of notes' groups. The most upper node of tree is called "All Groups" and cannot be removed or modified. If this node is selected, all notes from all groups (except deleted notes from Recycle Bin) are shown in the list on the right side of window.

If no groups has been created before - the default one, "General", will be created at program start and all notes will belong to this group.

Next to "All Groups" there are six additional items:

"Recycle Bin", "Diary", "Search results", "Backup", "Favorites" and "Incoming". These items, like "All Groups", cannot be removed or modified.

The toolbar of groups' tree deals with groups and its actions are described in table below:

Button	Action
	Creates new top-level group (group located under "All Groups").
	Creates new subgroup in selected group.
	Modifies selected group settings (name, icon, colors, fonts etc).
	Deletes selected group. All notes belong to selected group and all it's subgroups will be deleted as well. You cannot delete the "General" group because it is required for normal program behavior - but you can change it's name instead.
	Shows all notes from selected group.
	Shows all notes from selected group, include subgroups.
	Hides all notes from selected group.
	Hides all notes from selected group, include subgroups.

This toolbar has corresponding context menu with the same buttons, appears after right mouse button click on the groups' tree.

You can drag any group (except "All Groups") to new location within tree and assign it a new parent group.

Dragging any note to "Recycle Bin" will remove it, dragging any note from "Recycle Bin" to another group will restore it to this group.

"Search results" shows all notes found with quick search.

"Backup" shows all backup copies and allows to restore them.

"Diary" includes all notes belong to Diary. They cannot be dragged onto any other group except "Recycle Bin" and notes from other groups cannot be dragged onto it.

"Favorites" shows all your favorites notes.

"Incoming" shows all notes received from other users via local network.

On the right side of window there is a list of notes belong to selected group or all notes if "All Groups" is selected. The list will show number of columns, depending on group selected in groups' tree.
