Alex Jenter 14 years ago updated 7 years ago 27

Minimal - only titles
Compact - only titles and 2 lines of text
Normal - as set in Note Appearance dialog

Todo lists inside notes

Roger 14 years ago updated by Cassandra D. Everhart 4 years ago 28
It would be nice to be able to make todo lists within notes (like in MS OneNote).

I imagine this could be done by using a button to add checkboxes, or even better, automatically generates after writing some text preceded by a dash or by the word "todo" and having either the dash or the "todo" swapped with a checkbox.

Recognize tags in note's text and make clickable

Alex Jenter 14 years ago updated by Cassandra D. Everhart 4 years ago 3
CN should provide a way to insert links to tags into note's text. Clicking on such link would be equal to clicking on this tag in the tag sidebar.
The simplest implementation would simply look for literal tags, but if this is not feasible, some special markup like [tagname] could be used.

Sync Option: Opera Notes

Dave Ferree 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 11 years ago 5

Yet Another Sync Option (Y.A.S.O.) - Opera version. Yes, I do mean the note function built into the Opera browser, accessible through my.opera.com's 'Opera Link'. Before I discovered CintaNotes, that is what I used. Easy, always open, always accessible. Figured it was past time someone suggested it.

Add simple status flag icon

Alex Jenter 14 years ago updated by Cassandra D. Everhart 4 years ago 5
I use this wonderfull :D program as a tasklist. I think it would be an improvement if there was a coloured status flag in the header of each note. Something like the flags used by Outlook. You can then easily mark a note and so indicate whether it is ready or not.
I use tags to do this now, but with flags it works faster, only using the mouse.

"Copy to CN" and "Paste from CN" buttons in window titlebars

Like in program "Clipboard Buttons", add two small buttons to each window titlebar, next to the "minimize" and "maximize" buttons:
- Copy to CintaNotes
- Paste from CintaNotes

These buttons would allow to easily transfer text to and from CintaNotes, without touching the keyboard.

Add the ability to create notes from a command line

Syncing with a folder with .txt files

Alexander Wohl 12 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 7 years ago 11 1 duplicate

I absolutely loved this program after installing it, but I haven't been able to fully replace ResophNotes/Simplenote because I do everything with *.txt files (on writemonkey, on my phone, on notepad++, etc.). I realize that this would cause some data loss, but could it at least be an option to save as *.txt? Either way this is a wonderful little program and I'll keep it on my laptop just in case. Thanks.
