Another fucking application that doesn't specify that it's only for osx. Fucking apple users man. What about Windows & Linux? Can I get this for those? I don't know... because it doesn't fucking say. What... what are those? you ask? They're operating systems you don't need a fucking $1000 piece of hardware to run. Fucking apple users man. Ok... I know, I know - swearing bad. But I'm a little sick of having to infer t…

Hey Jonathan.

We are looking into making a version for windows :) Sign up to our newsletter and we will keep you in the loop on the progress there.

It seems that chrome doesn't work at all for me? Any ideas? Everything else seems to be working fine...but not chrome. The application just doesn't seem to register (the icon remains that of the last app recognized). No amount of focusing Ghostnote, then Chrome, then Ghostnote, changing tabs, or restarting Chrome seem to do any good either.

try and detach the note from the menu bar and see if it still does not detect. send us a mail at info@ our domain name and we see whats going on. It should work.

I have the same problem with Sublime Text 3 — Ghostnote doesn't detect it at all. Detaching doesn't help.

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.

If you haven’t already check out the 'bookmark data' methods of NSURL: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/... However, I’m not sure if you can use these without the user choosing the file with an open panel, or with drag and drop. That’s what I had to rely on with my app Blik: http://www.burntcaramel.com/blik/ Ghostnote looks great, by the way!

hey thanks so much for this.

I understand but keep in mind that the idea behind ghostnote is not to store your precious quotes but more something like temporarily important notes. Having said that however we will be making it possible to export/backup the notes into something like evernote or other much more accessible format.

*.txt will be the only format that mitigates the risk I'm talking about. Evernote. Sigh.

We will support customized appleScript so that means you can write a little script that outputs to .txt format.

This is coming in the next update.

Hey thanks. 1. Not yet but coming up 2. Stored on disk for now but will change later.

Thanks for the response - actually I'd personally prefer the stored-on-disk option :) Just as a follow-up - would I get my contextual notes back if I'm backing up my disk to Time Capsule and have to restore from it?

Purchased! It's a great app! And I'm glad I can view the userscripts before I copy

Love the app, just bought it today and recommended it to friends. I have found a few bugs though:

* In finder, if i press up and down, ghostnote doesn't recognize the focus change. Although if I go to another app, then tab back, ghostnote is focused on the right folder.

* In xcode it is quite hard to get ghostnote to focus on the right thing. a double click sometimes works. But clicking file a then file b causes ghostnote to focus on file a.

Thanks for an app that is sure to change my workflow!
