My 50 stickies can not be trained to stay where I put them. Everytime I launch Stickies they are scattered all over my right screen. This seem to be a problem related to two screens and had been around for years. If I remane the stickiedatabase file it makes a new db file which behaves as it should. I know I can export each note and then import each note into the new db file and then fix the color. But I bought APPLES! How hard can it be to fix this annoying problem.
Hi Bill,
I realize from your post that you have 50 stickies already created and are trying to have them stay in place using Mountain Lion.
But, have you tried using Notes instead of Stickies in Mountain Lion?
I put a link below that lists a few ways to convert your Stickies to Notes.
Notes in Mountain Lion can be used as Stickies and they are more feature rich than Stickies.
In Mountain Lion, the Notes app has also become "Sticky".
You can create Notes and pin one or more to your desktop. So they then are left open and can be moved around as you wish.
To do this, create a note with information you need access to.
To "pin it", double click the "list" you created in the note on the left side.
A scalable window should appear with the note, date and time stamp.
From there it will be pinned to your desktop where you can edit it and move it to where you like.
Here's one site that discusses converting Stickies to Notes in Mountian Lion:
Stickies to Notes in Mountain Lion?
Here's some links about Notes in Mountain Lion:
Mountain Lion: Hands on with Notes and Reminders
Track Notes On Your iPhone And Mountain Lion Mac Via iCloud [OS X Tips]
Mountain Lion: Auto Save, TextEdit and Notes
The apps of Mountain Lion: Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Reminders and Preview
I use Notes and Stickies.
I just fixed my Stickie location problem. Here is what I did:
1) Open Stickie
2) While Stickies is open change the name of ~user/Library/stickiedatabase to ~user/Library/stickiedatabasecopy
3) Rearrange stickes, I used the Window>Arrange By>Color
4) Quit Stickies
5) Launch Stickies
6) Celebrate your success
7) Thank me.
Good job Bill! 🙂
