Overview:
Use FileNoter to quickly create a plaintext note file for any file through the context menu.
by Nod5 - Free Software GPL3 - AutoHotkey - Tested in Windows 10
Setup:
Put filenoter.exe in some folder and run it as Administrator to add the context menu action (and its registry entries).
How to use:
Right click any file in Explorer and click "FileNoter". A note file is created with the same name as the clicked file but a .txt extension.
Example: For "filename.doc" FileNoter creates "filename.doc.txt".
Add you notes to that file and save.
Uninstallation:
Run filenoter.exe as Administrator and follow the instruction to remove the context menu entry.
More features:
Edit Filenoter.ini to customize the name and location of the note file.
Add special tags, custom extension and datestamps (YYMMDD-HHMM or YYMMDD) to the notefile name.
Option to autoupdate the datestamp in the notefile name each time it is opened from the context menu.
Example: for "filename.doc" you have the notefile "filename.doc180225.txt". If today is 180416 and you again right click "filename.doc" and select "FileNoter" then "filename.doc180225.txt" is renamed to ""filename.doc180416.txt" and then opened.
Option to save notefiles to a subfolder.
