Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts youve received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someones house, a photo of your pet, or anything else.
Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such random bits of information.You can arrange the items in an outline-like hierarchy, and include both structured fields and free-form text and pictures in each entry.
The Services menu is also supported, to quickly add or output an entry.
When you create a new entry within an existing one, the custom fields are inherited, allowing quickly creating content in an organized fashion. But you can also add or remove custom fields independently for each entry.
Entries can be encrypted to hide your most sensitive information. They can also be searched, and the Services menu is supported to quickly add or output an entry. Caboodle also supports import and export in several formats.
Main features:>
- Added import and export functions: the most popular feature requests.
- Enhanced Print function, now supporting multiple entries and including the title and custom fields.
- Separate New Sibling Entry and New Child Entry commands to add entries at the same or child levels.
- The Caboodle window close button is now available; it hides Caboodle, and indicates unsaved changes.
Enhancements:
- Added a View button to the decryption sheet. If clicked, the entry is temporarily decrypted and displayed read-only until you quit, but remains encrypted on disk, so the next time you use Caboodle it will still be encrypted. To edit the entry or keep it decrypted, click the Decrypt button instead.
- Added a checkbox to the encryption and decryption sheets to enable saving the entered password in the keychain. The state of the checkbox is remembered automatically.
- Added a new Security preference page, where you can specify a default password to use for encrypting and decrypting entries, and options of whether to use that, the keychain, the previously-entered password, or nothing when encrypting and decrypting. The default password is stored in the keychain, for security.
- When displaying the encryption sheet, if there is a password for this entry in the keychain (i.e. it had previously been encrypted and the password saved), it is defaulted into the password fields. Otherwise if youve previously entered a password or any entry, it is offered instead. Otherwise if there is a default password specified in the preferences, it is suggested. The source of the password is indicated below the fields. These are all dependent on the preferences. You can of course replace the suggestion with a new password, if desired.
- Similarly when decrypting, it will pre-populate with the keychain, last-entered, or default password, if available and valid. It only offers the password if it is correct, so you can just click the View or Decrypt buttons without typing anything.
- Using the Services > Caboodle > Add Entry with Selection command, or dropping text on Caboodles Dock icon, will now set the Subject to the first few words of the first line of text. Also improved the entry creation decision: if the selected entry has child entries when using these functions, the new entry will be a child of that one, otherwise it will be a sibling.
- Now correctly indexes new text, instead of requiring a re-launch before it is available for searches.
- Fixed a crasher when adding a new entry if displaying the search results.
- Fixed a crasher when using the New Sibling button with no selection.
- Fixed an issue with the Preferences window, where edits might not be saved when quitting with the window still open (specifically when an edit is still active).
- Fixed a cosmetic bug with the Check for Updates feature when using a general release and wanting only general releases, and a beta release is available.
- Updated the built-in Kagi purchasing tool to the latest version, which fixes some issues with Leopard.
- Caboodle now requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later.
