(especially deskypplet, which sounds really interesting), and report back.
We probably will put the new version in the repos too, later... but there is a lot of work to do before that, like to write a new updated helpfile and such stuff.
I would also like to write some helperprograms (unless someone else wants to help with those, please
like a .desktop creator , and a copy from template handler.

Hey guys. I had a busy week, but I finally got the chance last night to try your solutions...
@ m750
Thank you very much. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The first time I tried your solution, I placed the .desktop file in the "applications" folder instead of the "hildon" folder by mistake. I corrected my mistake, and the shortcut appeared. but whenever I press it, an empty window with a title appears, with a busy/loading indicator, and then it disappears after a few seconds, as if it was broken or forced to shutdown. I followed your instructions to the letter (by copying and pasting everything you wrote as is), and fiddled with it a little bit, at no avail. I still thank you however, as I learned form the commands you wrote, and corrected a few issues with my other shortcuts (naming and other stuff). So thank you anyways.
@ electroaudio
Thank you man. Unfortunately, the widget caused instability issues with the other widgets, as they randomly disappeared or froze, and I had to restart the device several times. Furthermore, it wasn't customizable enough to my taste. I can see that it has a great potential, but it wasn't what I had in mind. I suppose I should try the newest version. If you need testers or support/voting, I'd be more than happy to do it; just please point me to where I should get the relevant info. Again, thank you very much.
@ JonWW
Thank you, thank you, thank you....
Your second post did exactly what I needed. It worked like a charm. Not at first anyways, as I was unfamiliar with QBW's advanced mode. I kept trying on a trial and error basis until I figured it out. It still needs a bit of customization (size of icon, display of name with file extension, font size and color), but I suppose I should do that myself, and honestly it doesn't seem hard after looking at the file contents through editor.
Thanks to you, my life will be better with more organization (seriously). You've given me a great gift.
@ Estel & longuist
Thanks for your suggestion. I'd already tried it before. It was still on my N900. I opened it again, I still came out unimpressed. I still prefer Notes. Thank you anyways.
@ rotoflex & pusak gaoq
As I mentioned earlier, I tried many things, and I still prefer Notes. Thank you though for your suggestions guys.
To all,
Many thanks guys. I'm not new to forums, but I never stepped into a forum like this. Not only is everybody trying to help; but actually everyone is knowledgeable enough to propose a solution. Thanks guys.

It lacks multitasking so instead all widgets are run as a single program.
(So if one widget waits for something , then hildon will wait too... )
But usually it works fine for me, the same problem is also present for another popular program called queen beecon widget and it needs some adaption to learn the limits of what can and cant be done before hildon gets upset, but when used within the limits of the hildonsystem then it works fine.
-BUT hildon definately needs to be rewritten... a work for CSSU.
But what type of customization did you have in mind that you were missing? You know that you need to edit the configfiles manually?
-However, to acess a single static file then deskypplet would be overkill
Personally i have created a desktopfolder as a base, and inside of that folder i create folders for each customer, and then create/put all documents related to those customers in their respective folder

Sorry man, I read your post a long time ago, but I fell asleep before replying back then, and forgot the whole thing. Just remembered it yesterday.
As for the customization that might make Deskypplet more useful for me, I think it's pointless to explain features I might need, or bugs I saw, since the version I tried was outdated, as you pointed out.
As you said, all I wanted actually was to access static files. Still, If you need testers, or voting support, or recommendations (I work in quality assurance, a beginner, but still might prove useful) I'd be glad to get involved. Send/point me to where I can find the relevant details, and I'll start checking it out.
By the way, on an irrelevant topic, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, mainly to be used as a mini tablet for reading and watching movies (excellent resolution, and my eyes don't have problems with its size as a tablet), but not to replace my dear N900. Android and its applications made me appreciate Maemo and all the community apps over here even more than I did before. Nothing compares to the N900 experience!

I have a very demanding dayjob so time flies anyway.

-I dont think there is an idea to share it before those problems gets sorted out first

It is probably possible to use it as a toolbar/static dock too by tweaking the configs, but i havent tried out such a setup yet.

i had a android for a week, and it was very limited in my eyes.But then, i have only had the communicator line of phones for the last decade, and those were also very advanced compared to the stuff that is aviable today.
