Often we get support queries that says ‘My notes are gone. What should I do?’.

In all the cases we have seen, there was nothing to panic about. Actually, the data did not get corrupted or the data was not lost. It was just misplaced due to some change in configuration settings (Windows profile, moving of folders, reinstallation etc)

Here are the different things you need to try when you do not find your notes:

May be the sticky notes are just hidden.

Right click on NoteZilla icon in the taskbar (next to the clock) and choose Desktop Notes->Show All Notes.

May be NoteZilla is not seeing the right data folder.

1. Go to NoteZilla’s preferences. To access NoteZilla’s Preferences, go to the Notes Browser, choose Advanced->Preferences from the menu.
2. Click on the Advanced tab and note the data folder where NoteZilla is looking for the notes data.
3. Exit NoteZilla.
4. Search your whole computer (all drives) for Notes.db file. Check the size of this file and its date modified. Find the biggest file and the latest one. Copy this file to the above data folder.
5. Launch NoteZilla and check if you see your sticky notes.

May be the backup folder has your notes data.

NoteZilla keeps 5 copies of the backup under the backup subfolder.

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Conceptworld\NoteZilla\backup\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\(user name)\App Data\Roaming\Conceptworld\NoteZilla\backup\

Each copy is stored in a subfolder, date wise. Go to each folder and check the size and date of Notes.db file. Find the biggest file and the latest one. Copy this file to the above data folder. To know the exact path of the data folder, go to NoteZilla Preferences. To access NoteZilla’s Preferences, go to the Notes Browser, choose Advanced->Preferences from the menu. The Advanced tab will show the right data folder path.

In NoteZilla, new memoboards are added at the end of the ‘Memoboards’ pane on the left side of Notes Browser.

They are not sorted immediately, to avoid confusion.

When you exit and run NoteZilla again, you will see a sorted list of memoboards in the ‘Memoboards ‘ pane.

Quite a few customers have requested for a ‘Reply’ feature in NoteZilla. When somebody sends a sticky note, you should be able to quickly reply to the sender using a single click.

NoteZilla does have a way to quickly reply. But it is not called ‘Reply’.

When you receive a sticky note, just modify it and press the Ctrl+G key and hit enter to send the note to the sender. What exactly happens here? Ctrl+G brings the ‘Send To Contact’ window. Also, NoteZilla automatically selects the sender of the note in the list. Hitting enter picks the selected sender and sends the note over the network.

Thank you all the customers for asking. It helps us to make the product better.

F3 key has multiple functions. It sets the focus inside the “Find” window so that keywords can be typed. If the focus is already set, it selects all the keywords in the “Find” window. And if all the keywords are already selected, it clears the keywords from the “Find” window. This is a magic key.

It is extremely useful when you want to quickly type new keywords.

Note:Once the list is filtered based on the keywords, you can press the ENTER key to select the first item in the list.

 

NoteZilla doesn’t provide a separate functionality to synchronize sticky notes.

You just have to copy NoteZilla’s data files between two PCs such as your desktop and laptop in order to make sure you have the latest notes.

NoteZilla stores data under:
“C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Conceptworld\NoteZilla\” on Windows XP
“C:\Users\(user name)\App Data\Roaming\Conceptworld\NoteZilla\” on Windows Vista

When you travel, you just have to copy files from the above folder on desktop to the respective folder on laptop. After you return from your travel, just do the reverse.

You can use some simple file copy tools, back up tool, synchronization tool or a simple batch file with xcopy commands will do.

 

With RecentX, it is very easy to group recent documents or folders using the “Favorite Keywords” feature.

Lets say that you have the following favorite documents that you wish to group.

4. Meeting.doc

You will new create a new “Favorite Keywords” item as shown below:

It is important to note that the criteria must be set to “Any Words”
