gnome stickynotes applet replacement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



   Can anyone explain the deal with the GNOME sticky notes applet and its 
disappearance in Fedora 12?

   There's a blanket comment in the release notes of its being replaced by 
gnote, but IMHO they're different beasts.  This is not helped by the fact 
that the so-called sticky-notes-importer plugin for gnote doesn't (well, 
didn't for me or my wife's notes).


   The GNOME guys, a few years back, apparently decided that stickynotes 
ought to be deprecated in favour of TomBoy, as SN replicated some of TB's 
functionality, but gnote still isn't, AFAIK, a full-functionality 
replacement for TomBoy, and since there *are* aspects of stickynotes that 
aren't replicated¹ (again, AFAICS) by gnote, the whole thing seems a bit 
premature.

   I do also use a 'proper' notes app. (tuxcards, as it happens, for it's 
ability to encrypt pages - does gnote?), so can't understand the argument 
that the one app. can do both jobs.

   Looking at the RPMs now, it doesn't even look as if GNOME have formally 
deprecated it yet;  the removal is uniquely part of the Fedora RPMs.


¹ - like being able to have important but short-life-span notes in your face 
on the desktop.
