On Saturday I tried to print my first B&W photo ever.
Let me tell you it was kind of a mystical experience.
The results weren’t bad, but not even perfect — I’m aware it’s something that needs great amounts of patience and dedication.
But the whole point was seeing the image materialize on the white paper under a bland red light and reliving the moment in which the photo was taken: what I’d thought was special, how I’d visualized it and how I’d expected the photo to be.
Before the end of 2005 I released Noted 1.0 because I wanted to move on and start to develop the next release.
I’ve been receiving quite a few feature requests, most asking for some sort of categorization, a few asking for a way to store different kind of media.
So I was challenged as to how to develop these features.
Categorization could either be done with a pseudo-folder structure or with color coding.
The former especially good if I decided to add support for different kind of media, the latter better for a clutter-free app which handles plain notes.
Personally, I think I prefer color coding: a plain list of notes each with a different color. But users decided, through a survey on MacUpdate, they preferred the pseudo-folder categorization.
