Pigs is a note-taking software designed for desktop usage. It allows users to efficiently create and manage notes on their computer.
Pigs project is a desktop notes program that can serve as a great replacement for the Gnome notes program goats. Pigs has been designed specifically for those users who always want to keep their notes safe and accessible. It is a reliable program that hasn't changed its file format in four years and has never lost any notes. In fact, it creates multiple backups so that you never have to worry about losing your data even in case of a system crash.
One of the most significant advantages of using Pigs is that you can store your notes in a file that you specify. This means that your desktop notes are treated as data and not configuration, which is ideal if you don't want them stored in your configuration directory, which may get deleted or forgotten to be backed up.
Pigs offers a wide range of features that includes importing notes from goats by default. However, please note that this feature may not work with the current version of goats since pigs was designed many years ago. With pigs, each time it runs, it backs up your notes file before running, and you can specify your backup path or turn off the feature as per your convenience.
Pigs offers a delete function that marks notes as deleted, similar to throwing them in the trash. This feature allows users to restore notes later unless pigs has been told to forget all marked notes. Additionally, you can import notes from backup files and discard all empty notes using the program.
To make things more convenient for users, Pigs allows you to easily set up your default note style by configuring one note and then selecting 'Use as default' from its popup menu. Like goats, Pigs can run in applet mode, or with its main window as a separate toplevel window, which you can move around and resize.
One of the best features of Pigs is the summary window, which shows a table of all your notes. From this window, you can double-click on a note to show or hide it, and also access the summary window by double-clicking on the main window or applet or from the popup menu from any note. Pigs allows you to specify the icons it should use for the main window or applet and shade notes using your mouse wheel very easily.
Pigs is a versatile program that allows you to run multiple instances with entirely separate sets of notes. You can create a link to the script with another name, such as pigs2, and run a new instance that will use ~/.pigs2/ as its configuration directory. You can also change the default font, and the next time pigs is started, all notes that have not had a custom font set will use the new default font.
To run Pigs, you need Perl and Gtk-Perl, which are the Perl bindings for GTK. You can simply search for it in your search engine or package manager. Finally, if you plan on running Pigs with its own main window, just put it somewhere in your PATH, and run pigs-gtk2 -gui or use it as an embedded program by passing it a window ID. Pigs is an excellent program that provides a secure, customizable, and easy-to-use experience for those who value their notes.
