Always nice to hear! Thanks

The each-note-as-separate-window makes one jump to task switcher when closing a note which is a bit distracting, but it works pretty OK. I wonder if it would be possible to jump to a parent note if a closed one has a parent, and otherwise show task switcher?
I think I understand what happens and it sounds quite annoying to me. Well, I'm only having the SDK and there is no task switcher at all, so it's not surprising that there are problems with that

Anyways, having multiple windows was really more something that I had to do, because it was not easily possible to do differently with the 0.5.x code. The current development version is much more flexible with that.

So currently I'm thinking that it maybe would be nice to have a browser-like experience. That would be that there is only one window but with forward and backward buttons which can be used to jump through the history of viewed notes. That should solve the problem with the task switcher and I think it's easier to find your way back with two "back" clicks than to look through a stack of 20 open windows.

What do you think?

As you see, we now switched completely away from Gtk stock icons to icons from Tim and Nokia which are exactly 48x48 pixels. They look pretty sharp now. I still think I'll file a bug about the blurry stock icons, but I don't have high hopes. Gtk stock items have never been treated well by Maemo...

Thanks for you input
