Note-taking application

Hey folks, got another in my series of boring yet featureless apps, built on the same basic skeleton as others in C and gtk3, tiny and fast.

From the readme:
VuuNotes, a simple note-taking app. Very basic but useable, creates a folder
under ~/Documents and stores entries as simple individual text (.txt) files.

Your entries will be listed in the treeview to the left under "New Note", just
select one with your mouse and it appears in the main editable pane to the right.

To save a new note, highlight "New Note" at the top of treeview, then create the
body of your note, enter a title in the bottom text-entry/name field, then hit
the save button. To delete an entry just highlight it and hit the delete button.
To modify an entry just add your mods and hit save, it will confirm you want to
overwrite before saving.

The searchbar at the top is a title-only search that narrows choices down as you
type. When done searching just hit the "Clear" button to the upper right and it
will clear the searchbar and return you to the full list of notes.

As of version 1.0-2, you can now add URL's into your notes and the app will
automatically convert them to click-able links that open in your default browser.
In addition, you can now choose on first run to use the default location for the
save folder (~/Documents/VuuNotes/), or select a different location using the
file-chooser dialog.

NOTE: If you drop files manually into ~/Documents/VuuNotes make sure they are
appended with .txt or it won't read them!

A copy of the source code is also available at the link, to mod/recompile you just need the gtk3 dev package
as there are no other depends, code:
gcc -o vuunotes vuunotes.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0)
