trial expired, notes lost

2010-08-28T16:19:24Z

Hi to everyone at support,
could you lease help me out?
I've been using Scribblet in trial mode, didn't have time to take action before my trial expired today.
As a result, I lost all my notes. Since I had important information in them, I would like to find out whether there's a way to retrieve my notes. Advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

background color is black after paste

I pasted some text from a web page that had white text on a black background into a new note, and now the background of anything I type is black. How do I undo this?

Ideas for 2.0

2010-07-06T00:31:00Z

Hi,

I'd thought we could gather some cool ideas for 2.0 here. Here is mine:

After closing Scribblet (and only when I pastet something in it), the next time I open Scribblet, the former pasted text should be a few lines down and contain a separator char (like ---). This way I can directly paste something new after opening Scribblet and I dont have to first press enter a few times to move the old text down to make place for the new one. Also the default input text area should be focused right after starting Scribblet.

What do you think?

option-left keyboard shortcut

2010-05-13T03:24:44Z

Hi,

Love scribblet. I have one gripe -- currently "option-left" which in normal editing mode jumps you one word to the left pops you back out to the actual note list. Is there any way I can customize this by editing a preference file somewhere? I'm addicted to this for fast editing and getting thrown out of my note every time totally kills scribblet for me at times!

Hi,
I am a registered user of Scribblet 2.0. I have been using this since it was 1.0. However, when I booted up my computer today, I was informed my trial was over. My Scribblet has apparently unregistered itself. Furthermore, I cannot locate my registration details. Please advise how I can re-register. Thanks.

hyperlinks

2010-04-19T18:59:53Z

I might be missing something, but is it possible to add a hyperlink to a piece of text in a note?

I see that if I turn on Data Detectors in the Substitutions contextual menu item, then URLs will be turned into links. What I was wondering is if it possible to hide the links behind another piece of text the way you can in Mail, or even in this BB, like this.

I'm not sure where this feature comes from in MacOS, or if it's just something specific to Mail, but it is pretty handy.

(Obviously, I'm not arguing for implementing BBCode in Scribblet.)

Thanks for an excellent tool!

Scribblet save dialog

2010-04-05T16:10:43Z

Hmmm, I am confused - maybe it's just been a very long day! When using the shortcut to change focus from a Scribblet window back to another app I get a save dialog with dire warnings as to what will happen if I don't save my changes (ie they will be lost). If I click Dont Save my changes are nevertheless saved???

I would rather all changes were saved automatically (ie no dialog box, just save them) but I could undo the changes.

Many thanks

David

More than 1 Mac

2010-04-05T15:53:25Z

I have 3 Macs, 2 that 1 use and one my wife uses. How do I get Scribblet to work on my wife's past the demo period ?

scribblet was free, and I messed up

2010-03-17T21:55:57Z

I used the free version of scribblet for quite a while. I accidentally upgraded to the free trial of the paid version, and it expired. I can't get my old notes out and my back up crashed so I can't get the old version of scribblet off my backup. Please help. I can't afford the license for the paid version right now. I will stop using it once I get my notes out of it.

Old scribblet app icon in task bar won't go away

2010-03-13T21:21:44Z

I have 2 scribblet icons in my task bar at the top of my screen now that I have upgraded to 2.0. I can't seem to make the old one go away. It's not horrible, but it does take up room that I could use for something else. Any idea what to do?

Document Storage

2010-03-08T20:46:47Z

Is it possible to store the notes etc in other than my Library? I like to keep my documents together as I try to back them up more often.

A suggestion for Pinhead

2010-03-08T20:44:15Z

This is a great app. I thoroughly enjoy using it. But I find the need to be reminded of some things. So might I suggest you add an alert feature where i can set up some sort of timer to remind me an urgent matter or to drop off that Netflix DVD as I drive by the post office at a pre-determined time? I know you are not currently working on this project now but you have fans waiting. Thanks!

Option to disable the spell checker

2010-03-08T20:40:53Z

Hi,

as the title says - that would be nice. Since snippets are rarely coherent text, most of the time the spell checker kicks in.

Thanks and keep it up. The new release rocks.

Registration not acknowledged.

2010-03-08T20:31:18Z

Please note: On two occasions I have registered Scribblet. Once Last year 2009 and again yesterday 7th March 2010. Paid by PayPal and I have my receipts and yet every morning when I boot my computer it tells me Scribblet is not registered and refuses to start up the program. If I cannot get some sort of acknowledgment I will have to delete my program completely. I did find it to be a useful addition to my applications on my Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.6.2 (SnowLeopard).
Thank you for any and all assistance you might be able to offer.

A few simple problems that make Scribblet not very keyboard friendly..

2010-02-08T21:03:10Z

Everything works great just hard to access if you don't want to reach for your mouse or trackpad. I think Scribblet was written with intents on letting the user quickly activate the app, write what they need to and quit, returning to their task at hand.

Version 2.0 has many improvements but one feature is a must! One click problem... I think an easy fix, but then again I have no coding skills so I can't say what is easy and what is not but it seems easy in practice.

When I have my hotkey pull up the scribblet window I would like to be able to enter the notes without having to go to my mouse and double-click the new or old note to get in and edit it and have to click "home" to get back to the main scribblet screen holding the folders and notes.

Would it be possible to have " Cmd + Enter " double-click the selected note and also maybe a hotkey such as " Cmd + [ " to get back home after I have written and saved a note?

This would allow me to completely roam scribblet w/o ever leaving the keyboard. Everything would be accessible for editing and organizing this way...
__
Now for dream features: Quick Labels... ( Cmd + 1, Cmd + 2, Cmd + 3, etc...) or a tag sort of feature. Not essential right now but would be essential in my opinion in future updates.

Right now I am prepared to buy the app as soon as I can control everything w/o having to leave the keyboard... my wish to edit notes and go back to the main screen with shortcuts that are common to many apple native apps. The " Cmd + Enter " to edit and the " Cmd + [ " to go back to the main window after writing my words. Thank you for developing this app and listening to users and allowing us to openly post our ideas. More devs need to let their users communicate w/ each other so thank you!

Cheers,
Mickey
