WARNING! You should not store your nvAlt notes on Dropbox if you plan to access them from multiple computers. Dropbox's file versioning can confuse nvAlt, causing data loss. If you want to use nvAlt from multiple computers, I recommend nvAlt's SimpleNote sync.

Issue #129: Notes being deleted from Dropbox while using NVAlt: https://github.com/ttscoff/nv/issues/129

Wow, thanks for the warning! I'm pretty sure this happened to me once a long time ago, but I thought it was a bad interaction between FoldingText and nvAlt, not nvAlt*2+Dropbox.

except simplenote has related issues as well. I have had lots of issues with data loss and also tag loss as well even when I was careful to only have a single nvALT copy open. I would pay good money for an nvalt workflow with the evernote client.
