Hello,

today I have added 'Gourmet Recipe Manager', and credited, plus thanks given to gold_finger, who recommended it.
I have added it to the Office Suites & Applications category, if it is felt adding it to a different category would be more suited let me know.

No problem mate , thanx buddy !

Unlike some other apps , you can print from Noteadqq . A feature that I like when taking some personal notes or reminders .

[bitsnpcs]

Hello altman,

I have added Notepadqq now, added credit to you, and clicked thanks.

Notepadqq is another alternative to Notepad , found this link : http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/10/notepadqq-0-38-0-notepad-like-editor-released/

Hello riser,
I have merged as requested.
I have added the new additions, all except 1, "zarchiver", can this be installed on Linux Lite directly ?
Do you have a link for it ?
I can only find links to this that are to Google App Store, or about installing/using it on Android phones.
Credits stated for these and thanks clicked.

Good catch!  It is an Android app (I wrote the apps from memory).  Please ignore.

Big thanx to you bitsnpics . Added a thanx also .

I have added xpad now, its link is to the launchpad page as its own homepage has an incorrectly signed security certificate/ it is self signed.
I have stated credit to you.

When I installed RedNoteBook , I guess it was from a link I saw in the web . I m not sure if it was in Synaptic , I never looked to say the trought .

I was just thinking about it also , maybe add XPad also to the list beside NotePad .
