Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages It would increase the usefulness of the journal entry page enormously if other data besides plain text could be embedded in it, e.g: -inserting graphics -inserting links to external files. Clicking on their icon would open the corresponding application. -insert links to dated copies of external files. Rather than linking to an external file, this would link to a copy of the file that was taken at the moment the file was embedded. This way, the journal page could act like a general purpose notebook / diary. Even farther out in the future, if you could link such rich notes to any contact, event, email, etc and cross-reference them, the possibilities are endless ;-)
Maybe KMail's HTML Composer can be used for this?
Yes, that's it! I would have the ability formatting text like KMail's Maileditor. I'm not a fan of HTML-mails, but to format my texts in the journal with headlines or make text red/bold etc, this would be wonderful.
Actually, functionality like this is provided by the Basket application http://basket.kde.org/ Closing this wishlist
Hello Peter, sorry, but I don't understand Your decision. kbasket is not my journal. I don't use kbasket, I use kontact and its components to organize my work and scribble down ideas similiar to my to my real calendarbook. The advantage of integration in kontact is, that I have the connection with a date independent from location on filesystem. Sure, I can create structured or formatted documents with many tools like OpenOffice.org Writer or KWord and save them on filesystem, but that is not, wan't I want. One more disadvantage is that I have to handle my data with a additional application. That is truely irksome. I see, kbasket can handle ideas, but I use kontact for long time and don't see a way to import my data. Why should I import my data into a new application? I like kontact and his abilities to handle my work. One appliction with modules I use every day! kbasket is surely usefull, but not in the context I will use my texts. I'm very sad about closing that issue. Helga
Hi Helga, Since I was the one who submitted this feature request, and since my wishes are now more or less fulfilled by using Basket, I figured I'd close my request so as not to harass the KDE developers ;-) But feel free to open a new feature request yourself. Peter PS: This being said, I'd love a discussion on KDE PIM between the Kontact people, the Basket people, .... on how to best handle and store unorganised pieces of information, like in Microsoft OneNote
