CherryTree notes manager

November 02, 2024 — BarryK

I was reminded about CherryTree when forum member 'wiak' posted about it:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=7189

I have compiled it in Easy Scarthgap, and it is now a PET package. After updating the PKGget databse, it can be installed from the "pet-scarthgap" repository.

I haven't checked, but presume for Easy Daedalus it is in the Devuan package repository.

If you download it individually, it will also need the 'vte', 'uchardet' and 'fmt' packages. Scarthgap already has 'vte9', which is for gtk+2, whereas 'vte' is for both gtk+3 and gtk4 -- 'vte' has some gtk4-related dependencies, but CherryTree only uses the gtk+3 vte lib -- meaning that, if you use PKGget to install 'vte', you can ignore all the deps, just install 'vte' only.

Here is the CherryTree homepage:

And project site:

CherryTree is nice, but I am not motivated enough to replace the builtin NoteCase. NoteCase is simpler and the package is much smaller; I think that it works OK as a notes manager.
