Description gmud 2005-12-07 14:11:43 UTC 
Version:           3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Please add an option to have knotes name notes with placeholders. Example:

Note created on 2005-12-07 14:10, the default name/title for the note would then be "2005-12-07 14:10". There should be an option to modify the default naming with placeholder like this:

Note created on 2005-12-07 14:10, the mentioned option says:
"%d %t (%s)". The name/title for the note would then be "2005-12-07 14:10 (first sentences of the note)". 

If you make 20 notes and after some days want to catch one of them, the pop-up list of the systray icon is really no help. Sure, I could search for it, but do I know some sort of searchphrase for the note I am searching for? This could be a lot easier with a placeholder system for the title/name of the note.

This was fixed yesterday and will be included with KDE 4.3.0

Hi there,
The title is not working well. If I copy and paste in the title, the software crash and disappear, I have to write the title without copying it. In the new update 8.3, it is doing the same thing. Please work on it. I like this software.
