Single-window UI

vladimir teply 8 ár síðan updated by anonymous 8 ár síðan 3

A new mode when notes open within the main window instead of opening new window or opening new window while the main window is closed (Shift+Ins). The latter mode is fine but I miss main menu, tag list etc. Thanks in advance:-)

Copy URL via Right Click

Chris Moore 10 ár síðan updated by Alex Jenter 8 ár síðan 2
I often need to copy a URL from a note (from the Link field). At the moment, you have to open the note, click the edit button for the Link field and then highlight and copy the URL from there. It would be so much more convenient to be able to right click the note in the notes list and have a 'Copy URL' option.

Being able to select paragraphs within notes and assign tags to them, then have them show up in the search just like the overall notes. Like OneNote only better.

Being able to select paragraphs within notes and assign tags to them, then have them show up in the search just like the overall notes. Like OneNote only better.

This would allow you to say, take notes for a class or a book, then tag individual paragraphs which relate to some other subject or overall idea.

"Insert link to file" function

The option to browse to a folder or file and so pick up the link would be of great value. (Mike)

Spoiler feature

Muhammad Khoerul Insan 11 ár síðan updated by Alex Jenter 8 ár síðan 5
What if the added "spoiler" feature like in the forums. It makes it easy to read the important point alone, and hide lengthy explanation, and lengthy detail. Making note flows. I've never seen this feature is in the windows program, but it is so popular in the forums. Just hide text, do not need another. I think it helps improve productivity. Something that can not be done on papernote

Minimal UI mode

Alex Jenter 12 ár síðan updated by Christof Deininger 9 ár síðan 2
New submenu "Options/Window/Auto Hide" with checkboxes "Menu", "Sections", "Tag sidebar", "Search box". May choose any combination, providing the most comfortable working environment while saving screen space.
Analogous with web browsers, "F11" hotkey can be used to quickly switch to and from this auto-hide mode.

Recognize URLs with spaces

Alex Jenter 12 ár síðan updated by Christof Deininger 9 ár síðan 2
CintaNotes should recognize and highlight URLs and paths like c:\My Documents\My Renovation Plans\super plan.doc

A predefined number of 20-25 most popular file extensions could be used to determine where such path/URL ends.

Make Ctrl+Enter in main window close all open notes (accepting changes) and minimize

When using the editor, I would very much like a quick way to save changes and minimize to the tray in one blow. That would be more convenient/elegant than hitting the escape key a variable number of times.

Simplenote: make text formatting less obtrusive

ChrisCN 11 ár síðan updated by Alex Jenter 11 ár síðan 9

I just noticed that formatted text in a note gets synced to simplenote with formatting tags like cintanotes. This makes some of my notes unreadable (especially those that make use of heavy formatting to make them better readable).

Opening a new main window for some tag selection

ChrisCN 13 ár síðan updated by Christof Deininger 9 ár síðan 2
If you are working on a list of notes (have certain tags selected) and want to have a look at a different list of notes (e.g. what task have already been done in that context - or whatsoever) it would be convenient to quickly open a new main window with a certain tag selected.

So my suggestion is to have a context menu entry after a right click on a tag to open a new main window and have this tag preselected (without changing the tag selection of the initial main window).

Scroll long notes via holding a spacebar to "pin" them

Alex Jenter 14 ár síðan Uppfært 14 ár síðan 0
Reading note in notes list using the left and right arrow keys is not convenient. It would be better if the note could be "pinned" using spacebar (or mouse button), and the text would be scrolled using the up/down keys (or mouse wheel). (http://cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=258)

Since 1.4 both spacebar and left mouse click "pin" note so that normal navigation keys work on note text instead of note list. So Spacebar + End would go to the end of the note's text etc.

Add state field to support GTD-like Todo features

Thomas Lohrum 11 ár síðan updated by Alex Jenter 8 ár síðan 7

State-field values should be:

0=regular note
1=Next Action
2=Action/Open
3=Waiting For
4=On Hold
5=Done/Completed
6=Someday/Maybe
7=Out-dated/Obsolete


The idea is a more general solution compared to a plain done=true/false value.

A bifurcated section devoted to passwords

Roger 14 ár síðan updated by Christof Deininger 9 ár síðan 3
here is where all passwords, log-in names, urls etc will be stored behind a master password. From an individual password file it would then be possible by a single click to launch the URL and have the password/identification information filled in. It would also be possible to create a password note when one logs into a new password protected site.

Wrong note duplicate recognition at import

Alex Jenter 13 ár síðan Uppfært 13 ár síðan 0
I export 787 notes via xml and reimported to a fresh database. I receive a message that there is one duplicate and 787 are imported.

As a test i also import the same original db into the new db. I now have a message that 6 messages are imported and 781 are duplicates.

I had vaccumed the original db before any exporting or importing. I also checked the original db with sql lite administrator and exported the results there to xml and xls. It appears that cinta misses cotitle and c0text field which have the same content.
BTW I had the same problem previously with incorrect duplicates when i amalgated mirroring databases.

Clipboard monitoring

Alex Jenter 12 ár síðan Uppfært 9 ár síðan 4
This feature would create a setting in CN that will automatically copy the contents of the system clipboard into either a new note(s) or accumulate it into a single note.

Many information managers (treepad, whiz folders, treedb) now have this pasteboard feature.

This is especially true since CN doesn't capture all the available text information on a page (it copies link names, but not the link addresses).

For instance, currently if you want to collect a link name and its address, its a 2 or 3 step process, requiring you to go back and forth between CN and a web page. If you have an auto paste-board running, you would only have to copy the name of the link, and then copy the address of the link, and the information would be automatically collected into a note in the background.

This feature is also useful when you are picking and choosing what parts of an information source you want to save (skipping biographical info, advertisements, etc.) or quickly combining multiple sources (like the contents of a separate linked page).

Thanks for listening,
Mark
