FoxNotes Frequently asked questions:
Q: Why doesn't FoxNotes for SeaMonkey 2 get Toolbar icons as SeaNotes did?
A: SeaMonkey 2 comes with two themes, Classic and Modern. Instead of adding icons,
I've chosen to use a "Tools" menu entry and a keyboard shortcut to open FoxNotes.
This should ensure compatibility with SM 2 while moving through development.
Q: When in a tab, Why are the urlbar and tab icons the theme's generic icon?
A: When open in a tab, FoxNotes now loads the xul app... NOT an xhtml page that
would allow for "decoration". This was done for increased load speed and reliability.
Q: Why can't I choose where FoxNotes saves the notes?
A: This would require an almost TOTAL rewrite of the extension to add this feature.
At a later point in time... I'll work on it!
Q: How do I print a note?
A: "Save As..." your note to desktop. Open the note and use the print function found in
the "File" menu. This is a very simple workaround until if/when/ever I add the feature.
Q: Can I make some text BOLD and other ITALIC to help find important things quicker?
A: NO! FoxNotes writes to and reads from an unformatted text file.
"Customize Notes" allows you to style the ENTIRE note in BOLD or ITALIC because
it adds your choice of style to the xul textbox element... NOT the actual text file.
Q: Why does "Customize Notes" style ALL of the notes, not individual notes?
A: Up to ten notes... up to ten little sub tabs in the "Customize Notes" tab... WOW!
After testing this feature, the filesize went up 10kb because of the extra code needed.
I choose to keep FoxNotes small and simple. See the Help file to style individual notes.
Q: Will FoxNotes or any of your extensions ever be available in my language?
A: NO! If you wish to translate any of my extensions into your own language...
Feel free to do so. NOTICE... Post them on your own website... in your own language.
