| 51 | 51 | `--notebook FOLDER` opens a notebook laid out as OneNote lays one out. The title bar shows the application's icon and the notebook's name; below it two rows of toolbar buttons follow the Home ribbon's Basic Text group, the first nine tags and zoom (only zoom acts yet). Readable top-level sections are tabs in the notebook's order, each leaning over the next at 45° with a faint highlight along its top, and the open one on top, casting a soft shadow and framing the page and the page tabs on the right in its colour, which shades slightly down the window; a tab that opens rises to meet the frame as its outline fades in. The frame's top corners and the page's corners are rounded concentric with the window's. The open page's tab is the page's colour and joins it with rounded inside corners; subpages are indented. The interface follows the system's light or dark appearance, and in the dark one the page's paper darkens and text left at OneNote's automatic colour turns light (except on a highlight), resolved when painting so nothing re-lays out; explicit colours, highlights, pictures and ink keep theirs, except that the background art of OneNote 2010's page templates, recognised by the picture's hash, paints from bundled vector recreations drawn for the paper. Sections take their stored colour's hue at a saturation and lightness chosen for each appearance. The section's colour is also the interface accent, easing to the next section's when another opens. The search box, New Page and the page-tab toggle sit above the page tabs. Command-F searches the page titles; Enter opens the first match and Escape clears it. A page that also changed on another computer shows Keep mine / Keep theirs above it. `--section FILE TITLE` opens one section the same way at that page. Section files must be regular files; discovery rejects symbolic links. |

| 53 | | Launched without a file, the app reopens the notebooks open when it last closed, at the one shown last, or shows "No notebooks open" with New Notebook and Open Existing. Settings (the open notebooks, the sidebar, recent fonts and the user name edits are stored under, which Settings (⌘,, Ctrl+, on Linux, or Options in the sidebar) changes and which starts as the account's full name) are JSON in `~/Library/Application Support/Snowbound/settings.json` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/snowbound`; `--settings FILE` uses another file, `--notebook FOLDER` adds a notebook to them, and `--screenshot` never writes them. Open Existing takes a notebook folder, its `Open Notebook.onetoc2` or a section file, which opens in the notebook its folders make up. A notebook on a mounted SMB share opens through the embedded SMB client, signed in with the password the system keychain holds, and through the mount only when that fails. The notebook button left of the section tabs opens OneNote 2010's navigation bar: the open notebooks with their sections and section groups, the open section marked; dragging a row reorders a folder or, onto a group, moves into it, and right-clicking a row, a section tab or a page tab offers OneNote's commands (Rename, Delete to the notebook's recycle bin, New Section, New Section Group, Close This Notebook; Delete, New Page, Make Subpage, Promote Subpage). Page tabs drag to reorder. The `+` above the page tabs adds a page at the end of the section, titled with its date and time as OneNote titles one, and puts the caret in its title; until its body is typed in, drawn on or clicked, templates offer our recreations of OneNote 2010's art (Ivy first), its page colours and Informal Meeting Notes' content, written as ops (`corpus/notebook-management`). |

| 55 | 55 | As in OneNote 2010, Notebook Recycle Bin (File menu, a notebook's context menu, or the palette) shows the notebook's recycle bin as its own row of tabs, read-only under a bar: a page's context menu restores it to a section, keeping its identity, copies it out, or deletes it for good, a section's restores it to a folder, and Empty Recycle Bin deletes what it holds (`corpus/recycle-bin-view`). Pages another author changed since they were viewed are bold in the page list, and so are their section's tab and row and the groups and notebook holding them, until left or marked read (Mark as Read, Ctrl+Q off macOS; Mark Notebook as Read; Next Unread; Show Unread Changes in This Notebook); what was read is kept in the cache folder's `read.json`, as OneNote keeps it in its cache. Save As (⇧⌘S) writes the page or section as a OneNote section, the notebook as a OneNote package, or any of them as a PDF; opening a `.onepkg` asks, as Unpack Notebook does, for its name, colour and folder (`corpus/notebook-package`). |
