The problem with that is, that filenames of notes might not be really useful. For example, in the case of Conboy the filenames look like this: bc154b01-0211-48ab-9479-538a92ede6d9.note

An applet for Conboy is planned, but I'm still busy with Conboy to Snowy synchronization stuff. If anyone wants to help out, I'm definitively interested in new project members :)

That would be a useful home screen applet for quite a few purposes, not just notes. E.g. a folder view of some favourite tunes, or images, or spreadsheets, for example. Of course, as conny points out, it would only make sense when filenames are usable, so conboy would need a specific applet written for it.

Since Maemo can multi-task, you could always leave the File Manager open. I personally, have it as one of my Personal Launcher apps (as mentioned). At least you're only a couple clicks away at that point.

I know there is nothing as yet as to what you (the parent) are asking for.

Yellow Notes is just for jotting, it wont even store in multiple files. Essentially you want a file manager applet.

But on a different note - Liqbase does allow you to handwrite notes and then it stores them (within liqbase interface) as a list of "files" sorted by date. So you can scroll down the list of notes by dates and select one and open it again.

But again this is all part of the liqbase application itself. You need to start liqbase to be able to see the stored notes.

I generate an RSS feed from a Tracks server I have running at home.

http://getontracks.org

I enter items using Tear.

Once a week I have a cron job that prints out the master todolist.txt

I use

sed G todolist.txt

to doublespace it before printing.

I keep it in my back pocket as a backup when the n800 battery dies (which is frequently!)

Fwiw, I just made something that comes close with the Web Shortcut app that can be put on the desktop.

I put something like file://*.* in the settings for that applet and I get a list of all directories that can be pointed and clicked, and files can be read by the browser.

Try it; you'll see what I mean. I may use it myself.

instead of yellownote, we can use xournal with personal launcher.

add a command like: [B]xournal /media/mmc2/mynote.xoj[/B]

just one click will get you there; but it is just one note!
