So this is a geeky bit of info, but I have just figured something out that others are bound to find useful. So here it is.
On a MAC if you use stickies on your dashboard, you may have come across an issue where the content of your sticky disappears after you log out or shut your MAC down and restart. If you have experienced this very annoying issue, this is what is happening.
Stickies does not enter your textual info into it’s .plist file unless you physically type something in the note.
So if you just copy and paste stuff without actually typing anything in the note, the .plist file just recognises that you have made a note, but doesn’t save the content.
To resolve this, just hit return or something after whatever you have pasted in and the physical typing act causes Stickies to update all your pasted content into it’s .plist file saving it for when you next log in.
Eh Voila, mystery solved.
You don’t want to know how long this took to discover.
To see the process in action try the steps listed whilst looking at the .plist file.
