5.) Quick FAQ Quick Help & Tips
Q: Can I place multiple images at once?
A: Yes. Drag and drop of individual image files works directly. For multiple images, repeat the process each one will appear in the current Image tab (older content will be retained; you can copy it manually).
Q: What happens when I copy an image from the internet (Ctrl+C)?
A: FlyOutNotepad intercepts the PNG clipboard. Simply press Ctrl+V in the Image tab the image will be pasted, including transparency.
Q: How do I dock the window to another side?
A: Drag the window title to the desired screen edge (left, right, top, bottom) the tool will snap automatically.
Q: Will my data disappear if I switch to Portable mode?
A: No. Standard and Portable modes use different storage locations. If you switch by renaming the EXE, the program loads the currently active configuration your data is retained in both modes.
Q: Can I use it in the to-tray instead of FlyOut?
A: Yes, and you'll find an entry in the context menu of the tray icon.
Q: How do I completely close the program?
A: Right-click on the tray icon → "Exit". As long as the icon is visible, FlyOutNotepad is running in the background.
6.) Special feature: The true portable mode (`_p`)
By default, the program saves its settings in the user directory (`%APPDATA%\FlyOutNotepad`) to comply with Windows conventions. For advanced users, there's a special `_p` function:
To activate fully portable mode:
1. Simply rename the file `FlyOutNotepad.exe` to `FlyOutNotepad_p.exe`.
2. The program recognizes the `_p` in the filename and automatically switches to portable mode.
3. The configuration file (`FlyOutNotepad.ini`) and all saved content are now stored directly in the same folder as the EXE file .
Advantage: No traces on the host computer, no registry entries, no hidden AppData folders. Your personal configuration and data always remain with the program perfect for USB drives, cloud synchronization, or multiple workstations.
