Typically used in Linux systems, but recently using on Windows XP and Windows 7 development workstations.
Came across an error where the "Search All Notes" dialogue window would not open... well, it would open but not be visible on the Windows 7 system.
I found this fix:
- I regularly dock and undock my laptop...so it regularly goes from using dual screens to using the laptops monitor.
- When I booted back up at home, undocked, my prefs.xml went back to:
[search_window_x_pos]-32000[/search_window_x_pos]
[search_window_y_pos]-3200[/search_window_y_pos]
- As a workaround, I picked an x and y location that works for both my dual monitor setup, and my laptop monitor, and then I made the prefs.xml read-only (on a Windows 7 machine, right click on the prefs.xml file, click Properties, check the "Read-only" box, and then click "Apply").
[search_window_x_pos]-250[/search_window_x_pos]
[search_window_y_pos]-250[/search_window_y_pos]
Note: The ramifications of this workaround (I would think) are that I can no longer make changes to my preferences. If I want changes to take effect, I would have to deselect the Read-only box, and then proceed to make those changes.

Just wanted to share the love with other Tomboy Notes users!
