See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xfce4-notes-plugin specifically https://tracker.debian.org/news/1114283/removed-181-3-from-unstable/Hmm. That's very annoying. I use it on a daily basis. I see that the reason is given in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=955349 'uses unmaintained libunique'. Any further comments on what would be required to get this back? Was libunique actually broken/a problem, or merely unmaintained? Is there something else one should use to do the same job, in which case maybe the best thing is to update xfce-notes-plugin to use it? Assuming that's not too difficult I don't mind doing some work to get it back in a ship-able state. Or it there something else that is still around that does the same job as the notes plugin? It's quite unusual in the way it works. Wookey
Hignotes was suggested, however I think the issue for users will be that while the files that store data are in plain text, if they are backed up before reinstalling debian, they can just be dropped back in place and you can carry on with your notes.
For me xrce4-notes are stored in ~/.local/share/notes/NotesUsing a new program means work flow is impacted for people (I a thinking of others here)
I am happy to switch to gnotes, however would be good to have xfce4-notes working again.
