Sticking notes using Notezilla

Here is a short video perfectly depicting this feature:

Notezilla lets you to associate a sticky note with any document, website, program or a window (such as an email window, or Windows Explorer).

Sticking a Note

To stick a note to any window, right-click on the sticky note title and choose ‘Stick To Window’ 0icon from the menu. A faster way to do this is to use the shortcut key Ctrl+W. You will be shown the list of windows that are currently open. These windows include websites, documents, and programs currently open. Just select a window from the list and choose the OK button to stick the note.

Tip: You can directly stick a note to the underlying window by pressing Ctrl+Shift+W keys from the note.

Sticking notes to websites and web pages

We frequently visit certain websites like shopping websites, bank websites, etc. to access information or any other purpose. But have you ever imagined that you could pin sticky notes to the website? You can do that with Notezilla sticky notes. The sticky note will immediately pop up when you access that particular website. This can save you a lot of effort and valuable time.

For step by step guide on how to do this, you can read the following blog post on the same:

Attaching sticky notes to Microsoft Word, Excel and other types of documents

You can attach sticky notes to any type of document in a similar manner in Windows. The note will pop up when you open the document. This will help you accomplish tasks faster.

You can read the below blog post for more information:

Sticking notes to folders

The process of sticking notes to a folder is the same as sticking notes to any other website or document using Notezilla. However, to make it work correctly, there is a setting in Windows Explorer that needs to be enabled.

Notezilla sticks sticky notes to different web pages, documents, folders & emails based on the title of the window. In the case of Windows Explorer, by default, the title of the window is the folder name. So here comes the problem. If you have multiple folders with the same name, then the sticky note would show up on all those folders because of the same window title. This is not what we want.

To solve this, we have to enable a setting in Windows Explorer – “Display the full path in title bar.” On Windows 7 and above, you would also see a note “Classic theme only” against this setting. It only means that the full path will be shown only in the Classic Windows theme. Other themes will use the full path internally (which is what Notezilla requires).

Sticking notes to emails

This is another beneficial feature. You can attach sticky notes to emails that can help you stay updated and always ahead. Note that the note is only stuck there, and it is not associated with the mail. Meaning, it will not be sent along with mail or deleted along with the mail.

Shortcut

Here’s your reward for reading till here: A shortcut to making life easier!

Notezilla uses the title of the window to show or hide a particular sticky note. Sometimes, you may want to stick the note to windows of a similar kind. Ex: All pages of Amazon website, or all documents in Microsoft Word. In such cases, you would need to use the ‘wildcard’ method.

To match only a part of the window title, double click on any window title that is listed (shown in the above picture) and prefix or suffix the title with the * wildcard.

Examples:
1. *Google Search* (shows the note for any search query in Google and in any browser)
2. *Microsoft Outlook (shows the note even if you change folders in Outlook)

Aesterick

Now, this is what you call beauty with brains!

Notezilla thus saves a lot of your time and efforts and makes your sticky note experience joyful.

And here is another attractive feature. Notezilla has free apps for iPhone, iPad & Android to let you access your sticky notes anytime and anywhere! Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.

This post will explain in detail all the additions and changes in the new update.

What is Copywhiz?

Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.

Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

  • Copy only new or modified files
  • Easily pick files by name, extension, folder etc from bunch of folders
  • Automatically organize files based on file attributes and metadata
  • Copy files to multiple folders/computers
  • Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
  • Sync files between source and destination
  • Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
  • Schedule file backups
  • Verify copied files for data integrity
  • Retain security attributes of files & folders (ownership/user access)
  • Several more hidden nuggets designed to make your file-copy task easier.

What’s New?

  • Changed look of Copywhiz: The overall look of Copywhiz has changed for better readability and looks more professional. Now the program windows do not wear any special skin and only use the default Windows OS skin.
  • ‘Paste As’ feature: This is a beneficial feature we have added to save time and efforts on replacing and renaming files copied.

    Generally, to replace an existing file with another file, we have to go through a lot of steps. These consume a lot of our time.

    With the latest Copywhiz, say, you want to copy file ‘A’ as ‘B.’ You have to select file ‘A’ into Copywhiz and then right-click on file ‘B’ so that you can copy ‘A’ as ‘B.’ The file name stays the same, but the file is replaced if you open and check it.

    So simple! You can paste any file as any other file. Very helpful to designers and programmers.

    This option is available under the ‘Paste Special’ menu. To access this menu, go to the destination folder, right-click inside the folder and choose Copywhiz -> Paste Special.

Paste-As-Feature
  • Log Content: In the earlier version, there was option to only log errors in file copy. In the latest version, you can also log names of files copied, skipped, and renamed. The users thus get an idea of which files were copied, skipped, and renamed and which weren’t. The log file is saved as a “.html” file, which can be easily read. You can choose this option from the “General Tab” of Copywhiz’s Advanced Settings.
  • Sound on successful file copy: When a file copy task is completed successfully, a sound will be played indicating the success. This is a useful feature when you are copying files silently or in the background. You can continue with your work once you set files for copy and come back to check the success of copy on hearing the sound.
  • Change in text size on change in display resolution: When the screen display resolution changes, the text size in Copywhiz changes automatically. So now on Hi-Dpi display resolution, the text size in Copywhiz is larger for better readability.

You can check out the latest update by downloading and installing it from here.

Also, this new update is free for all our existing customers.

We hope this update of Copywhiz increases your productivity and enhances your file copy experience. Feedback and suggestions invited.

Have a good day!

Quickly switching between different set of desktop sticky notes using Notezilla

This article will show you how to switch between different sets of sticky notes to stick when you are working from different locations or working from different PCs. That is, you can have a set of sticky notes visible on one desktop and a different set of sticky notes visible on another desktop. This can be done only using Notezilla.

What is Notezilla?

Notezilla is a professional, elegant & highly rated sticky notes app for Windows & Phones (Android, iOS, iPhone, iPad etc). You can also access your sticky notes from a Mac.

Notezilla helps you organize various tiny bits of information you would need through out your life. It keeps all your notes, tasks & reminders handy where ever you are. With sticky notes, you hardly have to put effort to take notes, set reminders, etc. Quickly jot down & move on with your task at hand. 

Here are some features of Notezilla:

  • Sticky notes with reminders
  • Attach sticky notes to websites, documents, folders & apps
  • Organize sticky notes inside folders to keep your Windows desktop clean.
  • Pin sticky notes on top of other apps
  • Sync sticky notes between Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad
  • Add pictures inside sticky notes

  • Lock sticky notes (password protect)
  • Markdown support
  • Send notes over local network (LAN) or across the globe
  • Tag sticky notes
  • Fully transparent sticky notes
  • Dark mode
Insert Pictures Inside Sticky Notes

Switching between desktop sticky notes

Let us look at an example.

Let us say you have a different set of notes for your work and personal information. When at work, you only want to have work-related notes appear on your desktop and not your personal notes. And at home, you want the opposite, i.e., only personal notes and not work notes.

Manually hiding each note from the desktop and then sticking the other set of notes is not a wise option, especially if you have to keep doing this every day, that too twice.

So how will you achieve this quickly and without much effort?

At this moment, an important feature of Notezilla steps in: Memoboards!

A memo board is a folder inside which sticky notes can be placed. They are like containers for sticky notes. The stickies are neatly arranged in each memo board, just like a storyboard.

Why use Memo Boards?

You can simultaneously view the contents of multiple sticky notes. Memo boards appear within the Notes Browser, a feature that lets you view, sort, and filter all of your notes at once. The Notes Browser lets you keep virtually unlimited sticky notes inside memo boards.

Memo Boards can help you do lots more.

Watch this short video for more clarity:

How will these memoboards help me switch?

The first thing you will do is create separate memoboards for both your office & personal sticky notes. The notes of each type will go into their respective memoboard.

So now, when you are at home, but your office notes are at the desktop:

1. Hide all existing desktop notes. Left-click on the Notezilla icon and choose the option “Hide all desktop notes.”

2. Next, go to the memoboard containing your personal notes. From the notes list, select all notes by pressing Ctrl+A and then choose ‘Stick to desktop’ option:

3. All the notes from this memoboard will now stick to your desktop!

Back at work:

Go to your personal memoboard. Select all the notes in the same way by pressing Ctrl+A and select the option, “Remove from desktop”. And all your personal notes will be instantly hidden!

Then stick your work notes on the desktop by going to your work memoboard and repeating the steps mentioned above. All work-related notes are now on the desktop!

This is so simple and fast. Notezilla therefore lets you work smoothly.

Bonus tip: Mark both the memobaords as ‘favorite’ and access them faster.

Notezilla thus makes your sticky note experience really productive. And guess what? Notezilla also has free apps for iPhone, iPad & Android to let you access your sticky notes anytime and anywhere! Install it on your phone from App Store or Google Play Store & sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.
