Yeah, as you say there's still the option of using a custom icon altogether for that purpose...we could also eventually implement something like colored labels, as Finder does. > Is there any plan to make the custom icon option more user-discoverable? > Right now, you need to know that you can click the icon in the > properties dialog box.

No, it's not in my plan to remove notes now, and there's not really another place than the sidebar to see/modify the notes without going to file properties, so I think I'll keep it. I might eventually remove the history sidebar too though, as the same kind of functionality is already in the 'Go' menu.
