</div>i'm in favour of this, because maybe it's a workaround but the really<br>
abstracted model still falls in some aspects, like what if i want to copy a<br>
note to an usb thumbdrive to carry it away? for tnow what lives on the<br>
desktop kinda can't escape from the desktop..<br></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
in the future probably we could just drag the note applet to a device icon, or<br>
network or whatever and everything would happen behind the scenes, but for<br>
now a save as option seems nice...<br></blockquote></div><br>If dragging a text file or text selection onto the desktop creates a sticky note (which I think is already possible on SVN), it feels way natural that dragging a note from the desktop onto a device (either dolphin view, folderview, device icon) will create a file with the text. I think this behaviour is not too far from current implementation of plasma (and specially from the global view around it). And maybe it can be also useful for another kind of desktop contents.<br>
