For those not familiar with applications/basket
(Basket Notepads), it is probably the finest 2nd brain invented for TDE. You can
simply squirrel away all types of information and notes in a simple manner. (text,
graphics, audio, colors, etc..) Think of it as an integrated sticky notes
suite on steroids providing full search of all the information you have in it.
I have built up hundreds of notes over the years and this is a must have app
for me.
Builds and works fine:

Tip: set the following settings for improved ease of use:
(Basket tab)
[x] insert note when clicking to the right of the insertion
line.
(General tab)
Show main windows when mouse hovers over system try icon
for 7 tenths second
I have been interested in basket for a long time. I built the package a few years ago for
KDE3. I never explored the app. Perhaps you can share how basket is indispensable to you
with a simple work flow description.
Please understand that I am a big note taker. I use text files and traditional paper and
pencil. I think part of my inability to appreciate something like basket is I don't
want to have to power up my computer to look at notes. For example, I don't maintain a
to-do list on my computer. For that I use scrap paper, which I am fortunate to always have
an ample supply. Even when I'm working a job contract, I find text files and scrap
paper sufficient. Could be that I started those habits before desktop computers were
available (yes, I graduated before pocket calculators were available and used a slide rule
in math and science classes). Possibly I live too boring a life and basket would be
overkill for me. :)
