Is there a way of setting the notes for each task, if available, to be expanded by default? I often forget notes are there, and so miss being reminded of some of the information for that task. I know there is a toggle for expanding notes, but OF does not seem to be able to remember this from session to session (which should be the case for a true toggle).

There's Edit->Toggle All Notes, and the results seem to stick for me. I used it to turn on display of all notes, quit and relaunched OF, opened a new window in a different perspective, and the notes were displayed. What is your test case for it failing to retain the notes display?

Well, I just opened OF to find all the notes collapsed, even though I am regularly setting them to expand. So, on some level the toggle is not holding.

This happened again just now, so maybe there is a bug with this. I never, ever want to hide the notes. Is it possible to make this happen, even via a plist hack?

I realize that one of OF's strengths is being able to hide things that are not currently relevant, but its a bit of a double-edged sword, as its possible to hide things and never find them again, or find them after its too late.

I think I got it to stick with perspectives, but I agree that a global default would be nice... Time to email the ninjas?

This continues to be an issue. Having to manually toggle this for every perspective is insane. I just had to do it again now.

In general, notes need a re-think for OmniFocus. They seem to be an afterthought, often hidden from view and by default in a smaller font than the other task attributes. For some, the notes field is the guts of the task!
