Nice app, but no safe storage - gdnic

I had the same problem in Panther/Tiger. Is there no workaround for this?
Otherwise great storage vehicle for those quick saves that you probably have to save elsewhere anon.

Nice app, but no safe storage - Hannibal Fortune

Happened to me twice in a week. Wish there was a way to force save the notes. It appears that the data is not saved until you logout or shutdown normally. If the system crashes, you'll lose all changes. I'm also not hopeful that this will still work under Snow Leopard.

Never mind. I found the force save button.

Nice app, but no safe storage - Bob DeVoe

I've just had the same problem: the notes disappeared twice, both times under Snow Leopard (but never before). Luckily, I could restore the notes from a backup. After the disappearance happened a second time, I restored the notes again and then locked the file (go to Home/Library/Application Support/Sidenote/"your notes", click on Get Info, and select locked). Since maxmatrix--2008's troubles occurred before the release of Snow Leopard, it would not seem to be an incompatibility with Snow Leopard per se.
