You really need to explain this better.

Are these exe files taking advantage of hidden extensions to fool naive users? I didn’t think so but many people are assuming that’s what’s going on here and consequently assuming they can detect these if they have their extensions showing.

Or Is this just a WMP vulnerability? If someone uses Winamp or some other non-WMP player can this affect them? I suspect not.

I’ve searched a lot for a simple but powerful way to keep some informations on my desktop, and this note gadget is really great, even if… it doesn’t saves the text i write, probably because I’m using it with Linux (Ubuntu). Are you planning to release a Linux compatible version? Or, can i ask you the code so I can do it myself? thanks for the great job!

I downloaded google multinote today, took lots of important notes at a meeting, and now I can’t access them. I can see the little disk icon and title of the notes i took, but I cannot click into the note itself. It is blank. PLEASE help me access this note. I am not sure where it could have been saved. Thanks!!

Tried Multi Note for the first time. It is a good idea yet there are some problems that can be quite annoying. For example, when I tried to add another new page (after adding about 5 pages) the software allows me to name a new page but it is not included in the drop-down list. If I try to reinsert the same title for “new page,” I get a notation that that page already exists. But where is it? It is not listed anywhere. Secondly the drop-down list is too close to the “close” icon and shuts down the Multi-Note feature and I have to reinstall it to the sidebar.

This is a great application. Congratulations. It is far superior to the extremely basic Google-app “To Do”. Do you think they will let you team up with them (Google) and add the “Share settings” option to Multi-Note, which allows sharing notes on different machines? This is the main advantage that the Google “To Do” notes still has over Multi-Note.

I am trying to copy and paste text which I often use into Multi Note, for convenience of having it on my Sidebar. But, I can’t seem to copy and paste. Do I have to type in lengthy text..?

Congratulations for Multi Note. There is nothing similar for google gadgets. But are you doing a version for google gadgets for linux? I will really appreciate that.

Ben,
Thanks so much for this note pad. I had one years ago and could not ever find it again. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for and MORE!!! Love all the options one can do also like font, color, size, and the F12 is also an unexpected helper when I get several notes. : )

Kathy

PS Let me know when there may be any updates unless they happen automatically. BTW are you from Canada? the way you spelled color (colour) in the options gave you away. ; )

Love this gadget! One problem, though: I’m working on a notebook computer that moves between my office and home. When at the office (pc is docked), Multi-Note opens when the Google sidebar opens. But, if I undock and work from home (where my networked Home directory isn’t available), Multi-Note doesn’t open — I have to Add it again. Then, when back at the office (and docked) Multi-Note also won’t load until I Add it again.

How can I get Multi-Note to load on every boot, whether connected to my office network, or not? Thanks.

I figured out it was not a limit on the note but a unicode character that caused the note to fail.
What’s weird is I can copy and paste the character and it will show on the gadget.
But when I try to save it, it fails and kill the whole note.
