I've posted a bug-fix update for PasteIt Notes to comp.binaries.mac. I've also
sent it to the sumex and mac.archive.umich.edu archives. If you can't wait for
it to get from the normal distribution directories, you should be able to
ftp it from the 'mac/incoming' directory on mac.archive.umich.edu.
Here is the change history.
----
PasteIt notes is intended to be used to replace those sticky yellow
notes that many people have stuck all over the place. Just create a
pasteit note and 'stick' it on your screen wherever you like. It
will stay there until you move it or delete it (assuming that the
application is running).
VERSION HISTORY
(changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1)
1. The following sequence was causing a crash.
Create a new note
Set its title
Save it
Change its title to a longer title
Save it
This was due to overwriting the handle used to store the
title in the resource (there was a missing SetHandleSize()). The
application heap was getting corrupted.
2. An unlocked handle was being dereferenced during a
memory move operation (no crashes were reported for this
one).
3. A indication has been added to the title bar for dirty
(not saved) notes.
PLANS FOR FUTURE VERSIONS
1. Import text from 'TEXT' files.
2. Export text to 'TEXT' files.
3. Summarize notes to the clipboard, a new note or to a 'TEXT' file.
4. Support for Core events.
5. Support for Publish and Subscribe.
6. Better balloon help. (Balloon help was pulled from the .1 release) due
the constant crashing of the BalloonWriter tool.
7. Support for multiple window styles (perhaps a custom WDEF).
