I'm sure we'll implement better sorting criteria later on, but it's not that bad for today And I hope it will be a future discussion :)
the first line is often going to be the title anyway
+1. I clearly agree a dialog on note creation is boring - the more I use it, the more boring ; on the other hand Tomboy-like blue title does not neither seem to fit the flow. So maybe, as you proposed
- simply have no title at first
- assign first line as title as soon as there is a first line
- and allow to change this afterward
I'll just figure out this a bit then actually change the code

One of the objectives of bijiben is "Quickly jot a note for later recall and use ". [1] The later recall and use is covered by the excellent search, but the quickly jot part is currently hindered by the necessary to name a note upon creation. It would be better if it gave the note a generic name upon creation and set that name as the first line of the note, then, if changing that line the note would be renamed accordingly. I bounced this idea around with Allan Day and he seemed to agree.
andreasn: one thing I wanted to run through you before I file a bug about it is if it should really ask you to name the note before you create it as it goes against "Quickly jot a note for later recall and use" a bit they way Google docs and Tomboy deals with that is that they give it a generic name, But! one that is really straight forward to change aday: andreasn, not requiring a title to be set seems like The Right Thing To Do™ andreasn: right, and no dialog upon creation? aday: andreasn, nod aday: maybe it could take the title from the first line of the note? aday: and then allow you to manually change it afterwards andreasn: right aday: the first line is often going to be the title anyway
