>For example, right now, moving a file breaks its relationship with a note, and an open file's notes aren't associated with the file's finder icon. That's interesting. Is there a workaround or quick way to transfer notes? I often rearrange files.

They could be associated with a hash of the file rather than its path?

Or maybe not. Every change to the file would break the note association. I think the most robust way to do this would be to bind notes to inodes instead.

I'm confused, the demo video showed a problem to me when the dev typed "simple but effective" on the iTunes connect site but when he switched back to his app site, it showed the same "simple but effective" message instead of the proper one. It should've said "as you can see it takes the basic...". You can see it starting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYQVyokbep0&t=117 Not so effective..

Ahh now i see what you were talking about. So sometimes you have to click twice on the tab in the browser its very rare and its being fixed in next update. I did the video really fast and just didn't catch it but thanks for the heads up. I assure you it works as advertised :)

Ah, thanks. You might want to redo the video because first impression is important and you shouldn't rush through what people see the first time.

Bought it, pretty cool. The demo video shows notes contextual based on the current directory in a terminal. It isn't clear to me how to configure that to work - it doesn't seem to by default. Do I need to configure my terminal to change the window title based on current folder or something like that?

Just to make sure you installed the document detection in the beginning go to Settings icon and click the "Install Document Support" and click ok.

That should work. If not PM me and we will figure out whats going on.

There kind of are it just requires a little more work on our end. We will hopefully be able to share that with people soon. Interestingly and anecdotally when moved around in dropbox it seems to keep it's relationship.

Didn't work for me in Dropbox. But I'll be looking forward to the solution. The system is great so far, so I have no doubt you'll be able to continue improving it.

This is great. But two gripes: 1) No hotkey? 2) No support? The only thing you have is a form for me to suggest an App that is actually just a newsletter sign up. Not promising, especially for paid software.

Hey Joel

1) Hotkeys will be coming 2) Just write me on twitter or on facebook. However I realize I don't have a mail address to write I will update that. Thanks for the catch.
