Show full tag name on mouse hover if tag name is too long to fit tag sidebar

Alex Jenter vor 11 Jahren aktualisiert vor 10 Jahren 5
With deep tag hierarchies it is difficult to see full tag names without significantly increasing the width of the Tag sidebar. 
It is suggested to display a small popup with full tag name when mouse is hovering over partly hidden tag name.

Custom clipboard format, to be able to wholly cut/copy/paste notes

Now when you cut and paste note from CintaNotes it loses some information. CintaNotes should create its own clipboard format to be able to copy/paste notes without any data loss.

Keyboard shortcuts to manipulate current tag selection from the search box

ChrisCN vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Alex Jenter vor 12 Jahren 5
The idea is to have the same possibiliy as ctrl+click, shift+click and alt+click on the tag list as a keyboard shortcut using the search box.

The way this could work is:
 - type the name of the tag into the search box (autocomplete helps here)
 - hit CTRL+Enter (or SHIFT+Enter or ALT+Enter) to simulate the corresponding click on this tag
 
Every CTRL/SHIFT/ALT+Enter should NOT clear the current tag/text filter but add the tag to the filter like sequent clicks do.


This is a (hopefully) more straightforward reformulation of this request:

Automatic tag inference using AI algorithms

Alex Jenter vor 13 Jahren aktualisiert vor 13 Jahren 0
E.g. if 10 of 10 notes coming from bash.org are tagged "fun", CintaNotes should be smart enough to tag the 11th one automatically.But it should be correct in more than 90% cases, otherwise this would be irritating. And of course using this feature should be optional.

Generalize the Link field into Remarks (comment, keywords) field

Thomas Lohrum vor 13 Jahren aktualisiert von Alex Jenter vor 11 Jahren 13
CN has a beautiful and simple GUI. The Link-field is limited to an URL though. Well, you can add any information to it, if you like, but the identifier is still limiting. I suggest to rename the field, e.g. "Comments" or "Remarks". There have been different requests in the past all trying to achieve the same thing; see the following posts Annotations (comments) in notes; User notes; Add Keywords field to the notes; Introducing Keywords, Catchwords; The drawback of these is the need for an additional field. In generalizing the "Link" field to a more flexible "Remarks" field would still allow to insert links and have them opened using the F7-key. But other information could be added to the note too. Still the GUI would not be cluttered. Technically spoken the change in the program would be a simple edit of the language file(s). The only addition to this would be to extend the search to also search "Title, Text and Remarks". The "Remarks" field could also be used to add words to the note, that help on searching, e.g. different spellings, the context why the note was added, personal coherence, annotations. This could all be done without bloating your tag-list or polluting the notes text.Having a separate field also allows to distinguish between clipped text in the notes and your own remarks to it.The remarks-field becomes a note to the notes-text itself.

Cross-link several notes in one go

Alex Jenter vor 7 Jahren aktualisiert von anonymous vor 7 Jahren 6

Clairvaux suggested on the forum:


Proposed feature

1. Select a few notes in the main window.
2. Right-click, Cross-Link Notes.
3. All selected notes get note links to the other notes inserted at the bottom of their text.

Motives

I'm discovering the note link feature, and it's an incredibly powerful tool.

However, it's especially useful when you only need to create links from one note to another, or a few of them. In that case, it's super-fast.

If, however, you need to cross-link several notes (that is : each of them is linked to all the others), then it becomes a pain as soon as there are more than two, or maybe three notes. In that case, you need to open all your notes side-to-side, and Copy Note Link / Paste Note Link in a harrowing sequence, where you need to keep track of what has been copied and pasted where, since you don't want to link one note to itself (and anyway, CN will wisely prevent you from doing that). There's no single link set that could be pasted, pasted, pasted into all the notes.

There are many situations where you would need to do this, and there would be no workaround using tags (never mind tabs or notebooks). Imagine you are tracking specific events, and making notes out of a few significant articles about those events. Maybe you'll gather five or six articles about one event, and never create a new note about that event later.

Then, it would not make much sense to create a tag just for that event, because you want to keep your tags as universal and reusable as possible (and not create too many of them, because, then, scrolling becomes a pain). Also, there's no quick way to go from one note to another through tags. Tags are not clickable. The answer is the note link. It addresses the concept : "See also", or "Related articles" at the bottom of your note.

Cross-Link feature would address that need (and hopefully use already developed resources).

Another way to address that would be to make tags clickable. If I wanted to link together five or six notes related to, say, the Sochi Olympics, then I would create a Sochi Olympics tag (even though I would likely never attach it to a new note again), apply it to my Sochi notes, and just click on it from within a note, in order to display the related notes. However, even if clickability of tags was an easily implemented feature (of which I have no idea), the user interface is not ideally suited to that. The main window as it is would lend itself to it, however the editor window with its tags field does not seem really appropriate.

External links to notes in CN using custom URL format

Alex Jenter vor 14 Jahren aktualisiert vor 12 Jahren 1
I would like to select a note and then copy an external link to the note for pasting into another program. In a use-case scenario, I use PersonalBrain (http://www.thebrain.com) for organizing my thoughts, but the note-taking capabilities are less than appealing. I would like to continue using PersonalBrain but then attach a hyperlink (local URI) to open CintaNotes to a desired note. Evernote 2.2 had this capability, but Evernote 3.x does not. There is a need to be filled here.

In a perfect world, there would be a "Copy as URL" menu command for a selected note.

Hi,
just wanted to say thanks for this small application yet so great in functionality and overall user experience has been so amazing! I wonder why I missed this one on my search for high quality note-taking application in months!

And I also need to mention this, Cinta also means Love in Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia). And I love it right away! (LoveNotes?) :)

Anyway, the only functionality I really hope to be added is the capability to import multiple text files as I have more than 200 text files as my previous notes/archive. (Oops, OOT sorry!)

Thanks again.

Extend the functionality of the window notes

jerzyha vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Christof Deininger vor 9 Jahren 2

 The window of each note should have two options:
- "Always on top" button
- "Show/hide bottom panel" button

In this way one could use the open notes as handy help at work.
The note window would always be over current application windows and the window will not would take too much space.

Please see images:

Advanced backup schemes

Current backup is quite limited that it only saves the last states of the database.
CintaNotes should support backup mode where:
1) maximum number or total size of backup files is configurable per scheme;
2) backup periodicity is also configurable;
2) backup files are stamped with date and time.

open all links inside a single note

I add all my links to CintaNotes. I prefer CintaNotes over my browser's bookmark functionality. I can search more easy and add any search words i like too. It's even independet from any browser. Especially i use it to group links.

Example:

title:

text: Now i would like to open all links of the note's text with a single action. The action should be available by context menu and a shortcut. A mouse action could be implemented by using Shift+Ctrl+click on one of the links.
