Hi Guys, Under Xfce 4.4.2, Xfce-notes-plugin has a option called "Show On Startup". This has gone missing in 4.8. Please put it back. Without it I can not discipline myself away from other "shiny" things when my computer starts up and I never check my notes. I'll check it next thing, I'll check it after this, and I never do. Not having notes start on startup is a *complete disaster*! Many thanks, -T
Hi, The current state is the following, the configuration of the windows is saved inside a simple RC file. This one has a value "visible" set to true/false. When you quit the application, it will save the current configuration but this doesn't seem to work weel, at least I'll have to test this again. So basically the application is supposed to show you the notes that you have kept opened and hide those that weren't. As said it's supposed, I'll have a closer look at this behavior. If this doesn't fit your case I can bring up an option "Show all notes on startup" back in again. I have also the intention to add an option "Show/Hide all notes" when clicking the panel button / status icon. Can you tell me if you use the panel plugin or the standalone application (xfce4-notes)? Regards, Mike
Hi Mike, I am using exactly xfce4-notes-plugin-1.7.6-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm. It runs in the panel. I would really love it if you brought back "Show all notes on startup". Many thanks, -T
Created attachment 3887 notes rc file > the configuration of the windows is saved inside a simple RC file. This one has a value "visible" set to true/false. Hi Mike, I did not find this "visible" option. I have attached my rc file. Many thanks, -T
That's the xfce4-notes.gtkrc file, if you use the panel plugin the configuration file should be in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-notes-plugin*.rc
(In reply to comment #4) > That's the xfce4-notes.gtkrc file, if you use the panel plugin the > configuration file should be in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-notes-plugin*.rc Worked perfectly. Now if I would only learn to read ... Thank you! -T
*** Bug 8680 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Title: Notes doesn't create ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.rc Mike, I'm posting here just in case it's the same issue (I mean, if you need to work on this flaky saving behaviour). I'm using notes 1.7.7 in Xfce 4.10 in Fedora 17. When I reported bug 8680, which is the same as this one (8010) I was using the panel plugin and, just like for Todd here, after editing ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-notes-<ID>.rc at least I got it to start the way I wanted. Now I'm using only xfce4-notes directly (no plugin on the panel) and, diferently than last time, I installed Xfce 4.10 directly instead of upgrading from 4.8. Simply I don't have a ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.rc so the notes start visible everytime and if I reorder them (even saving the session at logout) they start with the same order (wrong) everytime. Maybe this broke in Xfce 4.10?
I closed xfce4-notes as everytime I logged into Xfce it would pop-up and in the wrong order. Then I was in the command line looking for some stuff and I found the rc files for both xfce4-notes and xfce4-notes-plugin. So apparently it hadn't created those files because I had never closed the app ever since I first opened it. Then when I opened xfce4-notes it was 'hidden' and with the notes properly sorted. Next thing I'll check is if it will keep these settings if I leave it running when I logout.
...thinking better, if it saves the settings when it's closed then it will probably launch with the same settings it was opened.
This is looking more 'serious' that it appeared at first. It doesn't save its settings unless it's closed so we make ten notes then at the next login it starts with the ones it had when we first opened it. I suggest as a workaround maybe to add a 'save' function (ctrl+s). Then when we write something and it isn't saved yet it could have a different text colour (for folks that don't have tabs set) and/or add an asterisk before the name on the tab (like geany does).
