I was guessing from the name it only supports Win7+ but actually it lists Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server, 7, 8, and 32bit/64bit.

The snapping feature looks excellent for a sort of informal mindmap/event arrangement similar to Kanban. The way it will attach files, links, etc make it very attractive to start organizing a project.

Even the website is innovative and well organized. Definitely going to test this out.

Usage Note

Far and away the most feature-rich and customizable "Sticky notes"-style program I've worked with. Just a few of the things that really stood out:

• Word Processor - this is a whole program built into a notes program.
  • Search-and-replace right inside a note file.
  • Easy, customizable line wrap and indentation that puts Microsoft to shame.
• "Dashboard" style look to turn down the rest of the desktop so you can organize your notes
• Various "desktops" to swap out your notes collection, great for separating topics or brainstorming.

The previously mentioned snap-to function is inside the Options - Visual Effects - "Always snap notes when moving or sizing".


Install note

Got the following message on my WinXP SP3 system after installation (message copied with SysExporter):

7 Sticky Notes did not find some required Windows dll(s)/ocx(s) file(s) registered in your system. The list of file(s) is:

- dao360.dll
- richtx32.ocx
- comctl32.ocx
- comdlg32.ocx
- editctlsu.ocx
- extvwu.ocx
- exlvwu.ocx

These file are included inside the dlls folder of 7 Sticky Notes' folder and you can choose to have them registered automatically now. Would you like to register these dlls now?

I clicked "Yes" and then got:

7 Sticky Notes will now try to register the necessary dlls.

... and a moment later ...

The registering process is complete.

I wasn't running a monitoring program to see what changes (if any) were made to the Registry.

@webfork
You do not need to register the dlls...

Great, thanks. I want to test this a bit more and then plan to add it to the database. This program rules.

Added to the database. Really lucky this is freeware and portable; the developer could easily have gone some variation on one of several free-mium models / personal use only.

Ordinarily I'd put a little more into the program description but was a little pressed for time today and wanted to get something finished that's been on my list for months.
