Dropbox Stickies and do not get along

few days ago, commented at the end of the post on Launchy and application shortcuts in Chrome was trying decide between scrumblr.ca and Stickies . Then after a few days of use, I have to find an alternative to offline notes as Stickies does not get along with synchronization via Dropbox. The problem is that Stickies notes stored in a database type Access (mdb ), which creates a lock file ( store.ldb ) to avoid having multiple simultaneous accesses to the database.

The problem is that while Stickies is open (which is always as is launched at boot time), the file store.ldb (and therefore the database store.mdb , where are the notes) is locked and no Dropbox can sync.

In practice, this means that the notes that are created on a computer do not appear on the other computer, unless you turn off Stickies , let Dropbox upload it to the cloud, and the other computer, repeat the process for Dropbox can update the file from the cloud ... In short, impossible.

So I have to find another alternative to Stickies .

In theory it should not be difficult because there are plenty of programs virtual post-it. In practice, most are simple enough that I serve. Among the desirable characteristics a program of this kind would:

• The notes are not deleted when you close them, ie there is a closed management of notes, notes in a store, a "Bin recycling "for notes or something similar. Stickies can handle not only closed notes, but also other categories such as sleeping notes, activities, recurring, etc ... Backup
• newspaper notes. This is a point related to the above, one interesting feature is that the program back up automatically from the notes. Thus, if you delete a note but later need to back the information contained in the note should have a chance recuperarlaa from the backup.
• Hide notes: The good thing about notes is that store information about temporary remember later. But that itself means that the notes should be able to "hide" until needed (and which are not on the Desktop all the time).
• Alarm: Sometimes the only purpose of a note to remember is that you have to do something later ... So it is important that the power to make the reminder.

Of course, in addition to the above, it is essential that can be synchronized via Dropbox. To do this, it should be possible to choose the location of the notes (and that the program does not block access to the notes)

The program need not be multiplatform, and open source, but it is important that is free (freeware ) and without ads, or constant message of "Upgrade" or "is changed to the pro version (no shareware programs, unless they are user friendly ocn ...)

Does anyone have any suggestions?
