Stickies 6.5a released
rjbull:
Zhorn Software have released a new (to me) version of many people's favourite sticky notes application: Stickies 6.5a
v6.5a
What's new since version 6.0c
New features
* API to allow integration with other applications
* Skin language v4 supported (scrollbars, alpha drawing, suggested default style)
* Typing [ followed by ] gives you a checkbox which can be double-clicked to alter its state
* Several buttons will repeat if the mouse button is held down (scroll up, scroll down, page up, page down, dimension conditions)
* A new GPO setting to log all network stickies to the server, for administrative monitoring
* Wildcards are now available for use with window classes when attaching
* Alt-space brings up the text context menu
* Advanced AttachShowSystemWindows=1 ini file setting to control whether additional windows are shown in the attach dialog
* Advanced AllowTransparentBackgrounds=1 ini file setting to control whether stickies colour can be set to the region colour
Fixes
* Some context-sensitive help was not opening correctly on the General options tab
* Attaching using a wildcard was not working correctly
* Storing an empty sticky no longer generates an error
* Warning about using a skin with regions is now displayed correctly pre-Windows 2000
* Stickies set to Autowidth near the right of the screen will now load back in their correct positions
* Context-sensitive help is now set correctly for the Change Title dialog, after other similar dialogs have been displayed
* Autowidth stickies now size the correct side as they're loaded
* Skin button action "attach" now works
* Tooltips are only created for buttons which have a conditional display when that condition is met
* Attached stickies can now be rolled up
* Sleeping for values larger than 99 would only sleep for 99 of that amount
* MAPI usage under Vista will no longer crash Stickies
* Double-clicking words inbetween two <<file://>> elements now works
* Crash caused by restoring a closed sticky when it's only just been modified fixed
* Crash when "Bring all stickies to front when one is clicked" is off, "Confirm closure" is on, and user clicks delete multiple times fixed
* Searching for terms in the Manage dialog which contain [ or ] no longer causes a problem
* Chinese IME drop menu "Candidate words" no longer closed mid-selection
* Copying a stored sticky within categories now copies the text of the sticky as well
* Starting a drag and drop in Manage, moving over the categories, and then not dropping onto a category no longer causes the category list selection to get "stuck"
* Crash when opening a context-menu search term from the Manage dialog fixed
* Pasting non-Western characters, and text from Office 2007 into a sticky works better
* Sizing the sticky by the bottom-right corner will no longer snap to a zero width or height
* Sizing the sticky by the bottom-left corner will no longer "disappear" the sticky when snapping is disabled
Changes
* Stickies brought back from store have a create date of when they were restored, not Jan 1970
* Tab order on the Sleep/Alarm dialog improved
* Blank stickies which have a title are now closed rather than deleted
* Single-clicking the task-tray icon while the Manage dialog is showing search results is much faster
* Context-sensitive help tooltips now use 8pt Tahoma, so non-Western characters can be displayed
* Improved handling of URL launching when a <<file://name with a space.dat>> is present on a sticky
* Exporting categories in the Manage dialog currently does so as plain text, not as RTF
* "Green" on the Font menu is now green rather than lime
* Font colour menu items text is now set to that colour
* Styles and Skin dialog skin preview improved - no more odd colours around it
* "Recurring" icon altered in Manage dialog to be less similar to the "Sleeping" icon
* The code which puts a sticky on the screen rewritten from scratch
* The "Double-clicking the title bar:" option now does only what it says, and doesn't also prevent skins from rolling

JaneDC:
Thank you. Fine piece of software. :Thmbsup:

It does not have Unicode support, which is important for many users, myself included. I think that all the programs used for writing text should be Unicode compatible from now on, that guarantees a larger userbase.
Liquidmantis:
Thanks for the heads up. I was just on the site yesterday looking at the command-line add-on.

I've gotten so absent-minded as I approach "senior" status, I couldn't live without Stickies!
