• Cross application copy/paste (tested with libreoffice and gmail): supported single images, single codeboxes, single tables and a compound selection of rich text, images, codeboxes and tables
• Copying a list of files from the file manager and pasting in cherrytree will create a list of links to files, images are recognized and inserted in the text
• Print & save as pdf file of a selection / node / node and subnodes / the whole tree
• Export to html of a selection / node / node and subnodes / the whole tree
• Export to plain text of a selection / node / node and subnodes / the whole tree
• Toc generation for a node / node and subnodes / the whole tree, based on headers h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 and text sections between headers collapsible
• Find a node, find in selected node, find in selected node and subnodes, find in all nodes
• Replace in nodes names, replace in selected node, replace in selected node and subnodes, replace in all nodes
• Iteration of the latest find, iteration of the latest replace, iteration of the latest applied text formatting
• Import from html file, import from folder of html files

• Export to cherrytree file of a selection / node / node and subnodes / the whole tree
• Password protection (using https://www.7-zip.org/) available only for storage as single file – NOTE: while a cherrytree password protected document is opened, an unprotected copy is extracted to a temporary -folder of the filesystem; this copy is removed when you close cherrytree
• Tree nodes drag and drop
• Automatic link to web page if writing the URL
