where do stickies live?

yogi:

The directions for saving from stickies help is below. Note that when you click the Save button you name the stickie document and choose a destination like any other file you save. The sticky will live in its own little room which you provide for it in your User Folder.

Click the close button in the top-left corner of the sticky note to close it.
Click the Save button in the Close dialog.
Type a name and choose a destination for the note.
Choose an option from the Format pop-up menu:
Plain Text files cannot include paragraph and font formatting or graphics and other embedded files.

RTF files can include paragraph and font formatting. If you add graphics to an RTF file, its file name extension is changed to ".rtfd."

RTFD files can include paragraph and font formatting, as well as graphics.

Click Save.

Good luck.

cornelius,

I think yogilebear is asking where the information is kept when you make a stickie and just quit the app and do not save it.

This information is kept in a file called StickiesDatabase which is found @ ~/Library/StickiesDatabase.

If you trash this file and then reopen Stickies those stickies will be gone and then reopening stickies the Stickies tips will appear.

At least I think that that is what the OP is asking....I apologize if I'm wrong.

No apologies needed. Now yogi has two answers to his question.

Good luck.

yogi:

Stickies is a very small application and takes no CPU capacity when it is not running. When the application is running, and only when you are using it, it takes one to three percent of CPU capacity at most. In other words, when you quit Stickies and the messages are being held wherever, they are not taking up any processsor capacity. So don't worry about it.

Good luck.

yogi:

You are very welcome.

Good luck.
