Don't worry, next version is coming and you can view/edit your .txt file. More than that, you can search Note, export your Notes to txt files and another cool features...

Thank you.

Thanks!

Purchased for support! App is great I like the multi-tasking. I hope having a document in both screens will be possible at some point.

Thanks and what do you mean by having a document in both screens?

[louis.keeper]

Pesktop 1.0.4 has been approved and ready on App World NOW!!!

Thank you.

[Boight]

Got it!! Works good!!
One minor complaint. When opening a .txt file it displays in a tiny note on the left. Can you make that bigger? Like almost full length of available screen?

good job though. Well worth the $.

Thanks and yes we do want it bigger but the virtual keyboard always screws up the whole screen and really annoying while we haven't found yet the solution.

We are working on that. Don't worry.

Regards.

Love the update, the features are solid. Excited to see this app continue to evolve.

Couple items to mention for the next version:

Is it possible to set the app to save the state of the desktop if the app is closed?

Also, noticed a minor visual glitch when the app first opens. The first time the option bar is invoked a while rectangle drops down on the top right side of the screen with the option bar. It doesn't show up again the next time its invoked unless the app is restarted.

I mean having a word document open in pesktop while being able to watch a video. For some reason none of my videos are able to play in pesktop however.

Yes it's possible to save the state, we disabled this feature due to some bugs which would be fixed in the next update.

And the glitch will be fixed too. Thanks a lot.

Yes we do love to view Doc right within Pesktop, we will try to make it happen.

For the video, technically to say, we are waiting for RIM providing more capabilities to handle video better, more video type and codecs. They have done a bit more for the native video player, not yet for developer's side.

Thank you ery much for your comments.

[morlock_man]

It's awesome to watch this kind of app evolution in action.

Thanks for all your hard work.

[Sith_Apprentice]

This update is excellent. Thank you very much. Are you looking at possibly allowing the user to resize the individual windows with multitouch?

Thank you. Multi Touch was scheduled. When most of the things are smooth, Multi Touch will come.
