$ rpm -qa *notes* xfce4-notes-plugin-1.7.7-1.el6.x86_64

Hi,

Disaster struck. Moused over and highlighted my weeks schedule by accident. When I reached back to grab my mouse, I struck a key. And poof! No schedule. When I right clicked, I found no undo key. I dove into the ~/.local/share/notes to try and catch Notes before it overwrote, but I was too late. And, no .bak file. Disaster.

I eventually got the schedule without the days and times back from my previous night's "dump". Had to do a lot of head scratching to get back the days and times. What a disaster. So far, no one has called to complain about a missed appointment.

Would you please consider implementing the following feature?

1. when writing info to the notes files, please do a .bak file

2. please implement an "undo" in the "right click" context menu. (I wouldn't mind if you gave about four levels of undo.)

Notes has become a critical piece of software for me. I really need the above functionality.

Many thanks, -T
