Hi folks,
I am wanting to use Stickies, but I wondered if there was a way of attaching notes to specific files. For example, if I write an essay and I think I have an idea that I like can i put it on a sticky and then the next time I open it the note will appear to?

Or if not is there a similar program

Thanks

Hi, James.

Interesting question. I don't actually know of a universal application to do this kind of thing. I know that Skim, for example, is a pdf reader that lets you attach notes to pdf files. In other words, you're reading a book and you can write notes and highlight specific pages etc.

Usually this kind of thing gets done the other way around. In other words, you're writing essay.txt and have another idea. You could use a task tracker or a journaling app, IGTD and Journler are the ones I use for this but there are others, and write tasks or notes with a link back to that file. Unfortunately, this is kind of the reverse of what you want. You go to the task tracker and look up the "add neat idea to essay.txt" task, and you can follow a link to open essay.txt in your text editor.

I have no idea how to do it the other way around, open essay.txt in a text editor and have some other app pop up and say "hey, you wanted to add this neat idea."

Is this any help?
