“A new kind of notepad”
by Cyril Roger
VoodooPad is probably the ultimate notepad.
A first look at the interface might make you think that VoodooPad is more difficult to use than it actually is. Yet the application is incredibly intutive and is great to jot down any sort of notes and sort them by categories and pages. You can sketch up drawings, which you'll associate to your notes and add links, bookmarks or even images, video, audio files and applications.
The best thing about VoodooPad is probably how you can link up elements though. You can literally create your own network, into which each elements have their own place and logic. This means that you can really organize notes according to your own way of thinking. VoodooPad also includes a search box at the top right and lets you open up elements in a tabbed view.
I'd recommend using VoodooPad simply because you can more or less mold notes the way you want and also because it's easy to add anything to it. It feels more powerful than a basic notepad yet it is very intuitive and flexible to work with.
VoodooPad lets you jot down and keep any sorts of notes, sketches and files in one place, which you can then organize into your own sort of mini web. A must.

Recent changes in VoodooPad:
- Double clicking an image open it up in a suitable external editor (such as Acorn or Preview or Photoshop or whatever). Saving the image will then update the original image located in your VoodooPad Page. You've seen Acorn, right? http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/
- You can now edit pages and sort the results in the search window (woo!).
- Option-clicking on a tab close button will close all the open tabs except the one clicked on.
- The "default page text" in the preferences now accepts rich text, so you can embolden certain phrases or whatever. Go crazy.
- Pages served up via VoodooPad Pro's built in webserver look a whole lot better, especially on the iPhone.
- Speaking of the webserver- you now have the ability to search through all the pages when looking at a document in your browser (VoodooPad Pro only).
- The zoom factor of the page is remembered in the document workspace, so it'll be remembered between launches.
- When splitting a document, links to pages in the original document are retained for the pages being copied out.
- Added a page index to the default Web Export templates. Now you have a handy list of all the pages in your Web Export.
- New AppleScript: tell window 1 of application "VoodooPad" to insert text "hello world!"
- New AppleScript command to add/embed a file to the current document.
- Added an option to VoodooPad AppleScript export command- "with synchronous", which makes the export happen in the foreground.
