I have a large (thousands) collection of notes stored on my drive as text files and synced to my other computers via UbuntuOne. Currently I use grep to search for the file I want, nautilus to open it, and gedit to edit it. Is there a single app I can use that will allow me to do all three at once?

I used to use Evernote, but their text editors are so crappy I had to dump it. I also used Tomboy for a long time, but the lack of a web based editor and no Android based editor either was a showstopper.

How about the gedit file search plugin?

Found it here: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins

Gedit File Search: Search for a string in all files in a directory and its subdirectories.

enter image description here

You already use gedit and now have no need for grep and nautilus ;)

I use CherryTree, Ubuntu 12.04 has this aplication in the repositories. From my point of view is a great application for managing hundreds of notes.

  • Never heard of this application before. After installing it I can say, that while it looks nice, it has all the same limitations as Tomboy -- a proprietary file format (not plain text or rtf). Thus there is no web or android editing capability. Thanks anyway.
