MX-17: CherryTree thread

[Richard]

on CherryTree, hierarchial note taking application, upcoming port for compat with Buster:

https://www.giuspen.com/topic/status-of ... ost-124867

There is a bit of abandonware but only in the forum
I’m still struggling to find free time since the family 2.0 (second kid born) but I’m the first user of cherrytree (using it daily at work) and really keen to work on the port to gtkmm3 that is paramount.
I will likely release a new pygtk version soon in the meanwhile with mostly bug fixes.
May the source be with you

A port would be timely, since the support libraries for the current version aren't in Debian testing any longer, which means it can't be installed there or in any upcoming MX version based on Buster.

Thanks, Stevo, I'll mention that in the forum.

Lastest news:

Hi @richard, thanks I know the porting is more and more urgent. I’ve been able to make some small but important progress in the summer completing the support for password protection without using an external command line binary (p7zip is now built from sources together with the the cherrytree C++ sources). About the time to dedicate to it, I’m starting to wake up earlier every morning to have a daily timeslot, so the progress will boost.
Cheers,

[Stevo]

The read only milestone is complete just before the end of 2018: 
the gtkmm3 version can now read and display the data of the four cherrytree document types.

If you want to try and build it, see future/README.

I had no issues with 0.38.6, running all day, every day.
Currently running 0.38.7 from giuspen website.
