Storing, sorting, and filing with KDE’s Basket
A VIRTUAL BASKET
Author(s): STEFANIE TEUFEL
If you tend to collect information and then forget where you put it, a KDE tool called Basket may be just what you need. Basket is a handy container for documents, notes, images, sounds, graphs, spreadsheets, and other files you may want to find later.
Basket is a dream application for hunters and gatherers who are looking for a way of sorting important information at the click of your mouse. Basket acts as a virtual basket on your Linux desktop. The Basket application can store selected text passages or links, but that’s not all. Basket also provides a handy depository for images, sound clips, your own text documents, program launchers, and many other things. Basket’s developers are still doing a lot of work on the program, so if you are going to be using Basket, it may be worth your while to visit the project homepage sporadically in order to check for the latest developments – you might just find a new version when you visit. http://basket.kde.org/download.php has links that take you to the Basket source code. Along with the source, you will also find ready-to-run RPM packages for Suse users with Suse Linux versions 9.1. and 9.2, but users with other distributions will need to compile the source code.
