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.

Tag selection bar

Alex Jenter 13 years ago updated 12 years ago 7
When a tag selection is active, CN should display a bar on top, just above the notes list, diplaying the current tag
selection and allowing you to view all related tags and easily add/remove them from selection.

Allow the user to click tags in the note viewer and this should have the same effect as clicking the tag in the sidebar.

Note creation from command line

Alex Jenter 14 years ago updated by Active SEO 4 years ago 3
Add the ability to create notes from a command line

E.g. c:\cintanotes.exe title="Check out CN Beta 10" text="download when next online" link="http://www.cintanotes.com/" tag=todo

This would enable me to easily create (using BAT files) CintaNotes files for the many lists I have in WORD & EXCEL

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.

Tag sidebar should remember the last selection when reactivated

If I have selected a set of notes with Tag Sidebar, e.g. those tagged to-do, and then press F5 (tag Sidebar toggle) my view changes and I see ALL notes. This is not what I expected. Surely if I press F5 twice I should have the view I started with.

Possibility to create tags not associated with notes

Urmel 14 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 12 years ago 1
I've reworked my use of tags. Now, I've detected a problem for me. I can't create a tag which isn't associated to an note. I will in the future assign all my new notes to a predefined list of tags. I think, this is a good way to organize my notes and tags, so that these will be well arranged for use. So, the possibility to add not associated tags will be very desirable.
