Concepts

There are 3 elements in the program:

The hierarchy is simple: a detail is a label with a text. The details must be inside an item. And the item must be inside a group. You can have as many groups as you like, and can put a group inside another group.

The groups are only for categorization. You don't need to use them (there is always a root group).

Groups and items are always showed in the left panel (or top panel, if in portrait mode), and the details always in right panel (or bottom).

You can resize the panels sliding the separator bar. The position of the bar is saved in a configuration file.
