Iconic Notes

Q. How do I rename folders and notes?

A. For folders, there are two ways of doing this. If you’re navigating inside the folder, just tap the folder title on the top of the screen to change it. If you’re navigating the folder’s parent directory and looking at the folder as an icon, go into editing mode and tap the folder title (e.g. “Folder”) just under the icon. This works also for renaming notes, and icons and templates in the icon library. For notes, you can also rename them by tapping on the note title at the top of the screen in the note editing screen.

Q. How do I move a note or folder between folders?

A. Go into editing mode and drag the note or folder. To put it in another folder that resides in the same screen (i.e., to push it one level down in the filesystem hierarchy), drag it on top of the receiving folder, which will expand slightly to indicate that it is ready to receive the file, then drop it. To move the note or folder into the parent folder (i.e., one level up in the hierarchy), drag-and-drop it onto the parent folder icon located on the top-left corner of the screen (if you are in the root directory, this icon will be hidden).

Q. How do I delete a note or folder?

A. Go into editing mode and press the circular black button with an “x” in it that appears on the top-left corner of the icon you want to delete. This is the same interface as for deleting an app from the iPhone home screen, so might also come in handy one day if you get tired of the app…

Q. How do I email a note to myself?

A. There are two ways of doing this: in the Home Screen you can do it by going into editing mode, then holding down the note icon for 1 second to bring up the contextual menu with various actions for that note. One of that actions is “Email note”. The other way is from the Note Screen: bring up the note settings panel by tapping the settings (gear-shaped) button on the top-right; then press the “Email note” button (in portrait mode you have to press the “…” ellipsis button first to get to it).
