Locating Saved Notes

You can't. USB mass storage mode shows only the memory card, and Notes are in phone memory. In addition, they're in a protected directory under \private that is not accessible. And in the past, at least, they were not stored as individual .txt files, but in a single binary file with all the notes there.

If you have C++ programming skills, you may be able to create an app to export the Notes using the S60 C++ SDK (Software Development Kit), unless someone has already made such an app.

They synchronise with MS Outlook - or did you already know that? Hrmm. When opened they come up in a stupid little yellow skinned window. Eugh. Maybe that can be changed (aside from just the colors, and the phone makes them yellow by default it seems)? Had a quick look, couldin't find out how to make them normal windows. Anyway, from there you can cut and paste.

Hey, everyone uses Outlook though, don't they? (ha.)

A standalone application would be most wonderful. I do like the Outlook sync though, means one less extra thing to run.

drkn,
I played around with the MS Outlook syncing as well. You're right it does work, and it doesn't convert notes to .txt (bugger).

However, one of my goals of securing access to the notes files is for me to copy over individual notes at a time (Outlook-sync only seems possible as a full batch sync).

Additionally, I'm looking for a method to transfer the data without installing PC Suite on the (work) computer (IT Dept has tight restrictions on software installations :icon13:

If you have BT on your PC you can always transfer notes (*.txt) back & forth using bluetooth.
N95 => PC = ends up in ..My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange Folder\*.txt
PC => N95 = ends up as an Msg in Inbox where from you can select "Save" and it will be stored in same location as all other Notes on N95.
