Unexpected font change with certain characters

burrum 13 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 13 year бұрын 0

Open this page and scroll a little to second top comment:


Image 10


Note: UserEcho resizes the image, open it in new tab or save to disk to view with original size and fidelity.


Select it and clip (Ctrl+F12), or copy-paste into new note. Notice how some portion of the text gets small.


Image 11


I first clipped from SRWare Iron 15 browser (Chromium core), and the small line was always last, no matter how many lines are displayed (with wrapping on):


Image 12


I then tried it in Opera 11.60, and its randomly first or second line. Sorry for not having time to find out the exact pattern now, but it's always only one line.


This also affects standard Windows Notepad.exe (Win7 SP1 x64). If export this note to plain text and open in notepad, small font also shows up. Obviously, clearing formatting has no effect.


I suppose there's some weird character causing this rendering and analyzing the exact content of the clipboard (as well as character codes in exported file) could help finding it. At the moment I have no handy tools to do it quickly.


Edit: paste this text into Notepad++ and notice the question mark '?' appearing at certain place.

Thanks for the report!
This happens because of the U+FEFF character occurring in the middle of that string. Here is an exerpt from the Unicode FAQ:

Q: What should I do with U+FEFF in the middle of a file?
A: In the absence of a protocol supporting its use as a BOM and when not at the beginning of a text stream, U+FEFF should normally not occur. For backwards compatibility it should be treated as ZERO WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE (ZWNBSP), and is then part of the content of the file or string. The use of U+2060 WORD JOINER is strongly preferred over ZWNBSP for expressing word joining semantics since it cannot be confused with a BOM. When designing a markup language or data protocol, the use of U+FEFF can be restricted to that of Byte Order Mark. In that case, any U+FEFF occurring in the middle of a file can be treated as an unsupported character[AF]


As you see, this is really a rare and exceptional case and thus I consider fixing unnecessary at the moment. Just delete the offending character, and the font becomes normal.

portable version has a drive dependency to the database file

ChrisCN 13 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 13 year бұрын 6
CN remembers the last opened database file but the path to the file is absolute.

In my case I do a dropbox synchronisation but
my dropbox folder is located on different drives for different machines.

So CN fails on the attempt to open the last file because D:\Dropbox\AppData\CN\cintanotes.db is not the same as: C:\Dropbox\AppData\CN\cintanotes.db  :)

So my suggestion is to make the path to the files relative to the location where CN is installed (at least for the portable version).

Parent tag not created on open/import old db file (2.0.2)

4. Open and save (OK) any note

Same happens on both "Open" and "Import" actions with old .db.

It looks weird that a tag appears when I didn't change a note in any way. I would expect these virtual tags to be autocreated.

Confirmed. PuTTy doesn't support Ctrl+V, CN will have to use Shift+Ins instead. One possible solution would be to add an option to CN which shortcut to use.

Copy text fragment to clipboard right from the note editor

Yuri Perphilev 11 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 11 year бұрын 3

Image 67

It would be very convenient to have a 'copy to clipboard' button/link right in note 

editor. How it may work: 
- User selects a text in note editor and in the right-click popup menu selects the 'Mark for clipboard' menu item (this works similar to the usual formatting like bold/italic/etc).
- Then text is marked in a special way and a 'copy to clipboard' button is rendered near the text
- Clicking the 'copy to clipboard' button copies marked text to the system clipboard

Modified sort order broken after import (1.5.4)

burrum 13 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 13 year бұрын 0

I have a .db file from CN 1.5.3. If I put it into 1.5.4 directory (I use portable version), and run CN, Modified and Created sort modes display the same note order, both straight and reversed. This looks correct, since there was no "last modified" information in 1.5.3's .db, and the sorting uses creation date in absense of last modified date.


However, if I make a clean 1.5.4 portable installation (no .db), run CN and import a .db from 1.5.3, Modified sort will always show the same note order, with or without reverse enabled. This order is equal to Creation straight order.

The same behavior is present if I import an xml dump of 1.5.3's .db into a clean 1.5.4 CN.


I think the problem is somewhere in the import logic, it is probably consuming items in some order from the source, and sets wrong last modified date. Just a guess.


I suggest the correct behavior is when Modified sorting uses creation date if modified date is absent, in any conditions.


Unfortunately I cannot attach files here, so I'll send a .zip with captured .db files in various scenarios to feedback a|t cintanotes d0t com.

Strange date save behavior

burrum 13 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 13 year бұрын 2
Saving creation and modification dates in 1.5.5p2 works in unintuitive way. It can be decomposed to three issues.

When creating a new note, creation time is displayed instantly (effect 1), even before you save anything, and if you wait a minute and save, note gets wrong creation time (effect 2).

Use case:
1. Open an editor for a new note (Ins)
2. The creation time is displayed instantly. Let it be 15:08. Also check the system time is 15:08
3. Wait a minute, system time becomes 15:09
4. Save the note. It gets creation time 15:08

Now consider another use case showing effect 3:
1. Open an editor for a new note (Ins).
2. Type a word, save. Note is saved with creation date (that timestamp from the moment of opening new note window).
3. Not closing that editor, all subsequent edits and saves to this note don't change any date UNLESS you wait the next minute - if you save then, modified date label appears (or changes).

It also looks like timestamp is truncated to a minute precision (could be wrong here, not sure how it is stored internally).

I think all issues could be fixed by changing behavior to this:
1. Open an editor for a new note (Ins)
2. No dates are displayed (and written) until you..
3. Press Ctrl+S or OK to close the note
4. Current timestamp (full, with milliseconds) is saved to creation date
5. Creation date is displayed in note editor and note preview header
6. If you pressed Ctrl+S in 3 (not closed the editor), second save adds modified date with time of save moment, and further saves change that date

Alternative version - as in a file system - both creation and modification dates are set to current timestamp on first save, and subsequent saves change only modification date.

Clipboard copy/paste cyrillic text

Vorland 12 year бұрын updated by Alex Jenter 12 year бұрын 3

When copying note to a clipboard (at the chosen English keyboard), the inserting of the copied note from a clipboard to another application (I tried application "Bred") has a bug: instead of inserting Cyrillic symbols the "question marks" are inserted. At chosen Russian keyboard - everything is normal. It's known Problem - if I am not mistaken, it is necessary to report about the codepage of a copied note to the Windows Clipboard. Whether it is possible to correct? (Inserting Clipboard into Windows WordPad works without bug - probably, the problem is in "old" applications)

I found examples, how to fix this copy/past behavior:
C++ Source for non-unicode application (compiled in "C++ Builder" ):

const AnsiString strData="string to copy";

// open the system clipboard and delete all the data in it
if(!OpenClipboard(NULL))
{
//Error
throw Exception( "" );
}
EmptyClipboard();

//allocate memory in global heap for buffer
HGLOBAL hglbCopy = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_DDESHARE, strData.Length() + 1);
if(!hglbCopy)
{
CloseClipboard();
//Error
throw Exception( "" );
}

//lock the memory object to guarantee that nobody can move or discard it
LPTSTR lptstrCopy = (LPTSTR)GlobalLock(hglbCopy);
if(!lptstrCopy)
{
CloseClipboard();
GlobalFree(hglbCopy);
//Error
throw Exception( "" );
}

// copy the buffer into locked memory object
memcpy(lptstrCopy, strData.data(), strData.Length());
lptstrCopy += strData.Length();
*lptstrCopy = 0; // string null terminator

//unlock the memory object
GlobalUnlock(hglbCopy);

//put the data into clipboard in text format
HANDLE hClipData = SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hglbCopy);
if(!hClipData)
{
CloseClipboard();
GlobalFree(hglbCopy);
//Error
throw Exception( "" );
}

//set locale for text in the clipboard
hClipData = SetClipboardData(CF_LOCALE, hglbCopy);
if(!hClipData)
{
CloseClipboard();
GlobalFree(hglbCopy);
//Error
throw Exception( "" );
}

//close the system clipboard

If you:

 - select some of the notes in the list
 - hit F4 to remove a tag
 - now you remove the tag you have selected in the first step
then:
 - the notes are removed from the list (as expected)
BUT:
 - the notes that are now in the position of the removed notes are selected  > this means: arbitrary notes are selected

Move search bar to the right

Galadkin 12 year бұрын updated by Christof Deininger 9 year бұрын 2

Move search bar to the right. I use CN around a year, but still confused every time with place of search bar, every time I click to "sort by bar" first, when I want to find something. Because all in all other software (browser, Explorer, OneNote, uTorrent and many many other) search bar placed at top right corner. Also I fully resize CN window to get view like a paper notepad in the hand (habit), in this form he looks like a good KISS software. But in this form, the search bar show only 3 letter. I really don't understand why sort bar still so long, because even the most long word "Modified" have 30% white space after it. Look at my mokup, maybe it's more productive and matches HIG of any platforms.Image 36
