Normally the sticky note spans all the desktops, but when I log out and log back
in it is only on the first desktop, and I can't see how to get it to span them
all again.

As an aside, it might be nice to make it an option to make the notes "always on
top".

I would like to add that it also does not remember what workspace a note was on
when you logged off. If you put a note on workspace2, it will be on workspace1
when you log off and back on. Was this by design? Does anyone mind if I try to
change this? (I think changing that will fix this bug as well)

If you can fix this, that would be highly appreciated, I'm sure.

Patch to enable config saving

Patch:
FIX: xfce4-notes-plugin config saving
FIX: moves config file to .config/xfce4

Comment 5 Narayan Newton 2004-12-27 00:54:46 CET

Just started looking at this after cleaning up some other things I had to do
(santy was fun wasn't it....). xfce4-notes-plugin was using the wrong function
to get the resource file path/create it. The above patch should fix that.

Note: The file will be saved in ~/.config/xfce4/ instead of the old ~/.xfce4.
So, this should fix bug 346.


My first patch to XFCE, so if there are any problems/style issues in how it was
written/submitted I would appreciate the feedback.

Thanks a lot. I hope the author of the plugin will have some time to look at it.
If not I might have a look myself.

patch to fix sticky support

Patch 2:
FIX: updates the sticky setting for notes after loading them

Comment 8 Narayan Newton 2004-12-29 01:58:54 CET

Sorry for the delay on the second patch...was out buying textbooks today. In
summary:

First patch: Should fix the location the notes plugin saves its notes and make
it save them. (It wasn't saving notes on logout before because of changes in XFCE)

Second patch: Very small patch to make the plugin updated the sticky-ness of the
saved notes after loading them.

Assuming this is fixed in the current version (no replies after 2004-12-29)...
