There may be more than one bug here.

Preparation:

1. Make a portable CN 2.0.2-beta-1 installation (name: CN-Consolas)

2. Allow multiple instances

3. Disable formatting (Options > Editor > Text formatting)

4. Set note body font to Consolas-12 (Options > Notes List)

5. Create a copy of this portable installation (name: CN-Lucida)

6. In the copy, set note body font to Lucida Console-10

7. Get both running side-by-side.

Now let's play.

Case 1:

1. Create a note in both CNs.

2. Open both notes for edit

3. Copy text from CN-Lucida

4. Paste text into CN-Consolas

Result: Text is pasted with Courier New font, size 12! Probably because 12 is the size set for target CN, and Courier New is the "editor.fonts.monospace" for source CN (or target CN?).

Expected: Text is pasted without any formatting or font information (besides Consolas-12 font of target CN). Like pasting to a plain notepad.

Extra: This font is not saved in target CN. After reopening editor it gets normal.

Case 2: Same as Case 1, but swap source and target. Text from Consolas-12 editor is pasted as Courier New-10 text into Lucida Console-10 editor.

Case 3: If target editor has Courier New, pasted text gets this font.

Case 4:

1. In CN-Lucida, enable formatting (Options > Editor > Text formatting)

2. Open a note and make something bold

3. Copy bold text (apparently with Lucida Console-10 font and bold effect)

4. Paste into CN-Consolas

Result: Text is pasted as Courier New-12 bold. This means that not only font, but formatting is also pasted. Also works for italics and bullet lists.

Case 5: We can paste bullets into editor with disabled formatting. And these will be saved (separate bug).

Case 6:

1. Enable formatting

2. Apply some formatting in note, save

3. Disable formatting

4. Open note

Result: formatting is not rendered in editor, but is rendered in preview. I guess this is the intended behavior, but this looks inconsistent and weird.

Case 7:

1. Set font to any monospace but Courier New. Say, Consolas.

2. Enable formatting

3. Create note, make some text (renders with Consolas)

4. Select some text and apply Format > Monospace.

Result: a piece of Courier New monospace among Consolas monospace. This is weird! I prefer Consolas as the base font for notes, so this case is about using "monospace" formatting if the font is already monospace.

Conclusion:

* Font set for Editor in settings is copied to clipboard even if formatting is disabled. And this font is not related with formatting (yes, this sounds weird).

* Font set for Editor may be written to the .db (unsure)

* Things are getting complex with formatting. I wish I could completely disable it to ensure my notes are always plaintext and no formatting is written into .db under any circumstances. This is a topic for a separate feature request.

* This is hard to test, this bug report is hard to read, and probably hard to sort out.

I'd like to have a special clipping shortcut that would allow to select into which notebook listed in the File menu should the note go.

When you have bullets (not a numbered list) it takes Ctrl+L twice to remove the bullets. Add a single shortcut to remove bullets, respectively stop bulleting. I suggest "Ctrl+Shift+L" as a shortcut.

When I put this into a note, Cintanotes chrashes:

<%

Response.Clear();// delete "//" of include files

%>

Too many special chars in use?

CN should provide a possibility to drag any note from notes list and drop it to any place as .rtf (or .txt) file - editing the original note and external file would be fully synchronised. NOTE: It's not the same as sticky notes (http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/11835-sticky-notes/) or expanding notes (http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3162-collapsing-expanding-notes/) or an simple export: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3374-drag-and-drop-text-and-text-files-into-and-out-of-cn/.

With 1.4 each edit window has it's own entry in the windows taskbar. This can be confusing when searching for a specific window.
One way to improve would be to introduce a special window-list that can be summoned on a hotkey.
Or else the main CN window can be extended to accommodate overview of currently open editor windows.

I guess this is related with latest enhancement "Sections: Sort and search parameters of each section of each opened notebook are now remembered".

I think it actually gets saved because I have this in .settings:

viewstate.notebook[2643a8c0-84f3-420b-8f0f-37940d89e402].section[0].sorting = modified

If I take .exe from CN 2.0.1, sort order saves again, but uses view.sortby setting instead.

so if you choice category "movies" lets show left side only the tagged movie genres
