VoodooPad is a new kind of notepad. It's like having your own personal hypertext library, where you can jot down notes, web addresses, to-do lists...

Anything on your mind. VoodooPad automatically links each page together, to form a miniature world wide web, on your desktop! Anybody familiar with the WikiWikiWeb will feel right at home with VoodooPad.

Type in your notes, and highlight important words or phrases to create new pages; or drag and drop folders, applications, or URLs into VoodooPad - they're linked up whenever the word representing it is found.

You can export your VoodooPad library as html to share with others, or copy it to your iPod so you can view your library on the go. VoodooPad also includes a services menu- so you can select text in Safari (or any other application that supports services) and have it show up as an entry in VoodooPad.

Here are some key features of "VoodooPad":
Sketch: Feeling artistic? Bring down the Sketch sheet and draw what you can't express in words.
Auto-Bullets: Make lists and outlines with a couple of key commands.
Saved Workspaces: Quit with all your windows open. Relaunch, and there they are again. Great for pickup up where you left off.
Encryption: Securely encrypt pages in your document.
Backlinks: Find out what pages link to the current page.
New Search: Search through multiple open documents at one time.
AppleScript: Improved AppleScript support, including changing the contents of any page from AppleScript.
AddressBook Integration: The names of peope in your AddressBook become links you can act on.
Rename pages: Do you not like the title you gave a page? No problem, in VoodooPad 2.0 you can now rename it.
Improved URL and email address markup: VoodooPad got some new smarts to help it figure out what exactly is an url or not.
Threaded exporting: VoodooPad will take those tasks and put them in the background so you can keep on working in your pages without being interrupted.

What's New:
Fixed a problem where attributes for an encrypted page were not always saved.
Made some changes to the way custom shortcuts are recorded, which will make things a little more reliable when setting custom shorts.
Fixed a bug where dragging and dropping files into a table row would cause the table to get funky (in a bad way).
When dragging and dropping a file into VP, a check is now done to see if a space needs to be added to the text before it is pasted in so words don't run together.
"Open Link in new Window" now shows up in the contextual menu when control-clicking on a link.
Fixed a bug where the "Append to Services Drop Page" application service was not working.
Added some lines that separate tab names and widgets in the drawer.
The order that tabs are displayed is now remembered through launches.
Fixed a bug where data was not saved prior to page encryption.
