It uses a different preferences file in ~/Library/Preferences/, but can read the same note database. "Can nvALT 2.0 be configured to use the same database as scrod’s NV?"Yes. On the other hand, you could have separate notes databases for each app and run them together that SHOULD work (not 100% there either, but I can't imagine why there's be a problem). So, for now, if they use the same notes database, you're stuck with only nvALT or NV open at a time. The "Notes & Settings" file can only be read by one application at a time. You know, having a two-window setup would be sooo sweet…" "Plus, if the answer is “Yes”: Can nvALT and NV-vanilla run and access the same database at the same time? I assume they would interfere on access to the “Interim Note-Changes” file, so I guess the answer to this second question is “No” - but I’d just like to make this sure. Can't make any promises moving forward, but if you want to try out nvALT and then try out NVb5 I think you'll be alright That's not 100% guarantee with NVb5, but seems alright. I just tried to use NVb5 (released by Scrod a week ago I think) with my nvALT database and then switched back to nvALT and had no problems. "Or, on a more technical level: Is nvALT’s “Notes & Settings” fully compatible with NV-vanilla?" It definitely was fully compatible with NVb4, which was up to date until the last week. You just need to go into your nvALT prefs>Notes and set "Read notes from folder" to the same folder you use with NV(or whatever folder you want). "Can nvALT 2.0 be configured to use the same database as scrod’s NV?" Yes.
