Problems after unlocking hidden features within Stickies
Authored by: roncross@cox.net on Jun 16, '04 03:26:35PM

hmmm. Before you proceed, make sure that you have quit out of the stickies application:

navigate to the following:

Contents. Navigate to Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj ->

There should be two files there. One file is called
StickiesDocument.nib (current file) and the other file is called StickiesDocument~.nib (backup file).

Rename the StickiesDocument.nib to something like StickiesDocument.backup

Rename the StickiesDocument~.nib to StickiesDocument.nib

quit and save and restart stickies and see what happens.


thx

Yea, I tried this. Didn't remedy the problem. Where I can I get the original *.nib file?

If you saved your NIB file more than once during the original modification, the backup will have been overwritten with the previous edited version, so the original version will be gone.
In that case, the only way would be to copy the Stickies application from another installation :(

This is what I did.

I'm going to have to reinstall Stickies then.
Is there a way to reinstall stickies outside of reinstalling OSX?

Maybe somebody would be willing to e-mail me their original .nib file?

Is there a way to save the stickies I have written? Where is this file/ are these files, anyone?

That should be safely within your Library folder, IIRC. Next time you launch a working Stickies application, they'll come back. (Unless one of the pooched applications overwrote something, but I can't imagine that that kind of pooching took place.)
