Mostly Harmless

November 28, 2024

Copy & paste functionality has become degraded following last year's update. There appears to be a marked lack of transparency on the part of the developer/Github to identify exactly where user data (text) files are stored. This has caused many problems when trying to recover archived Notepad files from one device for transfer/subsequent import into the same version of Notepad on another (newer) device.

UPDATE (Sep '23) - copying & pasting remains problematic, as is the inability to delete Notepad text files that have been imported from a (uSD-located) backup folder but were subsequently found to be blank. Sorry, Brad, I'm not sure what I've done wrong ... but this app appears nowadays to be failing me in so many ways compared to earlier versions :-( Regards: Guy

This is the only Notepad app I can use without getting annoyed by useless features or a cluttered interface. It does one thing and it does it well. The only thing I would add is the ability to create folders. I take all kind of notes from todo lists to recipes and it would be nice to be able to group files in folders. Another feature that would be useful would be the ability to export and import all notes for backup.
