Tag sidebar: display only related tags on double-click

Alex Jenter hace 13 años actualizado hace 12 años 9
If I double click on a tag in the tag sidebar, make all non-related tags disappear from the list. A click on "All" would restore the normal view.

Empty notes are not deleted automatically

Alex Jenter hace 14 años actualizado hace 14 años 3
Sometimes, I hit CTRL-N to create a new note, then change my mind and hit ESC to cancel. CN will then create a totally empty note.

I suggest deleting those notes automatically.

Batch text replace across all notes in view

Alex Jenter hace 14 años actualizado hace 14 años 0
After collecting many notes into CintaNotes, there is too many information that is not neccessary, eg the titles like this :"firefox - [Drag-and-drop tags onto notes / General forum / CintaNotes]".

I just want to be able to replace "firefox - [" with a blank in all notes.

Make all the text in the search field selected when pressing "Ctrl+F".

Ruslan hace 14 años actualizado por Alex Jenter hace 14 años 6
When I want to search for another word I have to backspace the previous word by one character. It is slow. If it is selected, I could just click delete.

See how it works in Firefox. Press "Ctrl+F" in FF several times. You will see what I mean.

Warn about adding duplicate / similar notes

Alex Jenter hace 13 años actualizado por Redwood hace 5 años 3
On adding new note, CintaNotes should analyse it and display a warning if it finds in the database a note which is very similar to the one being added.Say if 90% of used words match or something like that.

Tag sidebar ordering modes

burrum hace 13 años actualizado por Alex Jenter hace 10 años 5

The following tag sidebar order modes could be added:

  • Most used tags first
  • Manual (custom) order

This assumes introducing some UI control that allows to toggle ordering mode.

Sorting tags by count was also suggested here:

http://cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1017#p1017

Manual order allows me to arrange tags in the order I like by dragging them in the sidebar. This order is saved, and even if I switch to alphabetical order and then back to custom order, my custom order is preserved.

This feature would automatically cover this request: http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/16170-pinning-favorite-tags-to-the-top-like-in-win7-taskbar/

Also, this feature is partially related to http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3225-show-tag-usage-counters-on-sidebar-in-tooltips/

Use CintaNotes to search and edit it's own settings

burrum hace 13 años actualizado por Alex Jenter hace 13 años 3

I got blown away when this came to me.


In short, the idea is to edit CintaNote's .settings file using CintaNotes itself, and searching settings using CN's great 1-key search.


To better understand the idea, please install and check out latest versions of these two programs: Opera browser and Miranda IM. In particular, check out their settings/options managers. They both have so many config options that they HAVE to have search over them. In case of Miranda, it would take very long to locate a setting of interest without search. In case of Opera, it's literally impossible to create GUI for every option it has, so they created a big categorized html+js page with handy 1-key search over them. Type opera:config in the address bar and check it out!


In case of CintaNotes, it could be a main menu option like "Edit settings", toggling CN from notes mode into settings mode, where user could start entering a setting of interest, like "title" to set focus title option. The mode could be made visually distinguishable by drawing wrench or gear icon, or making main area of different background color.


Benefits?

1. Search. CN already has plenty of options, and don't know about you guys, but when I need to edit an option, I open cintanotes.settings in notepad and use search anyway. And I expect the count of settings to grow.

2. Value "strong typing" using UI controls. If a setting is a boolean (0 or 1), the value can be set by a checkbox, if its a number - via numeric field (with up/down arrows), if it's a selection from a fixed number of values (enumeration) - a dropdown list, and if it's a color - via color dialog with #hexacode displayed. This way user has a very low chance to enter a value of wrong type. See Opera's opera:config as a reference.

3. Help tips. A small '?' icon can be displayed near every setting, that on hover (no clicks!) shows a brief hint about the setting. There's no place for this thing in a strict .settings file (unless it has comments). Again, check Opera for a better overview (although they have help tips loading from the web).

4. No more need in designing UI for various settings, and no need in considering which options deserve a UI block, and which are minor and could be left as text-only settings. The mechanism is easily extensible when new options appear.

It depends on how the vote on corresponding ideas goes. Right now they are not at the top of the list.
But if CN is a commercial success in the future, I can very well imagine making CN for other platforms.
