Giving a knowde keywords is simple and doesn't need further explanation. If you have organized your knowdes in trees in a reasonable manner, sometimes theres no need for keywords. But sometimes, information that is best grouped together is divided into different branches in the tree. Here you can give similar information equal keywords and see how they relate in a) the keyword tree view (click the "Toggle Tree View" to cycle through the 3 views) and now also b) in the keyword reference choice list which is located on the right side just above the text field. If there is another knowde that is given the same keyword, then there appears the keyword and below the titles of knowdes referenced by. Clicking the knowde titles takes you immediately to them to see the full information.
There is an incompatibility in the structure of knowde files because now there is no more distinction between folders and knowdes - every knowde can be folder of other knowdes or, seen from a different perspective, folders can now contain data.
To load your old files into a newer version of knowde, simply replace all strings "folder" in your xml file with the string "knowde". That's all. Add the encoding also, if it has changed or was not in UTF-8. Because now with libxml2 and Gtk+-2.0, we have to work in UTF-8.
