Classic NotePad

Loved this app. I used the Notepad desk accessory in MacOS 9 for a long time, kept a lot of notes on it, and this allowed me to migrate those notes easily to OSX. I continued using it until Apple killed off 32-bit support with Catalina. It was a good, simple, useful application the likes of which are few and far between, and I still recommend it for anyone using an earlier version of OSX despite the fact that it is no longer supported by its developer.

A good App for a good Price

Nice, would like to see more of the original look and feel. The same window style, à la original, would be nice (no title bar, good ol' page flip animation). I like how you can keep track of the pages you have going, but at the same time still miss the page flip and overall interface, and I'd be willing to sacrifice the nice new features like backgrounds and a separator control to keep track of how many pages there are. Still, this took a good while to make and is high quality. In terms of bugs, I found just one: the minimum amount of pages is 8. Press the button to delete a page and choose to go ahead with this, then make a new page. The new page will be numbered 8 because the page count supposedly decreases, but the control doesn't remove the eighth section from it. Nonetheless, keep working on it! If you work hard enough, I'm sure the day will come when it's an exact reproduction, which I'd love :-)

Great to see an update on this app. A couple of issues. The scroll bar for an individual page only exists on page 3 (at least on my computer). A few times there were some strange effects while scrolling the notes on page three. I wish I had taken a screen shot when this happened. At first I would see lines underneath the words. Then the characters started bending back at the top of the page kind of like the marquee at the beginning of Star Wars No I don't take acid). If I switched a page then went back, the page would be normal. It happened about three times. It has not happened since I moved the app. to the applications folder. When this happened, I was running it from my download folder. I do not know if this would make any difference. I have a MacBook Pro running on 10.4.1. I have used this particular notepad for years any am very happy with it's simplicity. In fact I use it every day and want to thank the developer for updating it.

Sorry about those startup crashes. It was an error with the application trying to read the data file on a system that had never had the application run on it before. The issue has been corrected and itshould function correctly now

Crashes every time upon launch.

Great application! Its small and very fast! Thanks for the new Icon, (better for my eyes) Works great with OS X 10.3.1 The small donation 5$ is more than worth. All ratings more than 5 stars !! (7/6/2004, Version: 2.5b4)

What makes this better than TextEdit that is included in OSX?

Per me deve essere ancora molto perfezionato. Se si aggiungono troppe schede non è possibile utilizzarle. A che serve dunque il poterle aggiungere?

Yes! This fix make's work! Fantastic. Happy to see this application again from OS 9. I will be tune up for this one. No question about it.

improve the application icon, that purple is killing my eyes , other than that its fine.

Well thats the problem with beta, sometimes the app does not work as expected. But the bug you expereinced should be fixed now.

This application will NOT Start! I have not sean this before! I am on OS 10.3.4

At first I thought "What's the difference between this and TextEdit?" So I downloaded the app to test it out. Tried launching 3 times and got: "The application NotePad has unexpectedly quit" etc, etc. The difference I discovered is that TextEdit works and subsequently deleted NotePad.

Amazing, acts exactly as the OS 9 notepad, never crashes, one can start to use it an eyeblink. Thank you a lot. (I'm running version 2.0)

crashes everytime i try to launch it.. does it happen only to me?

More kudos for your glorious lil sanity saver, April. Thanks!!! Had no trouble downloading 2.0.1 just now with Safari 1.2.1. (My only problem is hating to quit 2.0 long enough to install 2.0.1! *LOL*)

File (.tgz) downloaded instantaneously, but only 140 KB not the full 400+ KB, and I found Expander having problem expanding it into .dmg file. After force-quit it, the expanded .dmg file inside a folder could not be mounted. I'd really love to try this app if only I could somehow download the file.

This proves it. There is a god and she is good.

The best in that category!
