Allow to fix field height of remarks inside note editor

jerome shih 8 років тому оновлено anonymous 8 років тому 4

The field height of remarks can be extended by dragging the space between keyword and content. But as soon I return to the content area in note editor, the field height of remarks returns to one line only. I hope the field height of remarks can be fixed.

Configurable hotkey for inserting note text into other apps (instead of fixed Ctrl+Enter)

Alex Jenter 9 років тому оновлено anonymous 8 років тому 2

Adam: "I find ctrl+enter inconvenient because they keys are far away as if I'm playing a piano. While my right navigates with the mouse, I seem to have my left hand predominantly work macros, hot keys, and workflow. So far example, I would more easily use Ctrl+1 due to reach while navigating with my mouse, instead of ctrl+enter. Currently, I use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy notes from CintaNotes to my application; so it's also habit. I use CintaNotes for email support, which helps me with mini macro response management (storing commonly used responses)."

A more flat and modern app icon/logo

Shane 9 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 9 років тому 2

Now it is a world of flat icons. Maybe CN's main app icon/logo need to be updated to match the latest Windows UI design? I'm a Pro user and I want to keep my eyes on a more flat and modern CN icon which was pinned on the task-bar everyday! A lot of talented designers are on dribbble, maybe it's not difficult to find one to craft a new shiny CN icon!

General ranges to filter by (prio, date, time, etc.)

Noah 10 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 10 років тому 1
First of all: I love CintaNotes; the GUI with its surface feeling, the stable way it works. Great!

When You work with this tool You get really quick the idea storing things there that are more dedicated to be stored in a knowledge base tool (exp. ultra recall; good but not far so good GUI and not updated).

To come a little more closer to this, I suggest implementing tag ranges.
Like a tag belongs to a parent tag (hierarchy of tags), it could belong to a range.
Programmers know ranges very well: they are called enumerations.

So, consider a tag enumeration group "A, B, C, D" which is a classical priorization from A to D (s. GTD).
I give each tag an order no. like A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4.

Please, this is an easy example with only 4 items; think about some more items;-)

Now, there are some ways to filter by enumeration: in the search bar by expressions and in the tag bar.

The search bar is easier to imagine; for the tag bar I suggest a right click on a tag "start here" and "until here", so that for example tags B to D are used in filtering.

This implementation itself could be helpful: select a tag by clicking first and last; but search in search bar would not work this way. Maybe using the shift key to select multiple elements at once like in an explorer.

The tag folder "prio" with "prio/A"-"prio/D" could itself have the property "enumeration".

A tag enumeration is not possible when filtering a date/time range; there are other suggestions for this.
Merging the ideas together would be nice.
 (http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3387-search-for-date-ranges/)

I think complexity may be hard for this as some more things may to be thought about...


Thanks a lot for CintaNotes!

Such a beautiful (not only conceptually, but visually too) piece of software.

Nieralyte 11 років тому оновлено anonymous 7 років тому 1

For me -- tagging stuff is so natural and essential in my everyday life. Not only for keeping notes, but for organizing information you need to study. As long as you've figured out how to tag it, it's a lot easier to remember and to grasp the concept you're studying.


Thank you so much!

Use "untagged" or "other" tag under parent tag having child tags

jerome shih 10 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 10 років тому 1
In case of parent tag having child tags, other notes that are tagged with parent tag but not tagged with child tag are difficult to be found. A solution may be to use "untagged" or "other" tag under parent tag having child tags to collect these notes.

Link capturing not working in Chrome

Benjamin Tiessen 13 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 13 років тому 7
Make CintaNotes detect Chrome and Firefox applications by default, and when text is pasted from a webpage, get the URL associated with the webpage and put it in the link box by default.

Also if a link is detected inside of what is being copied to CintaNotes and there is no URL detected from the browser, then automatically place the link in the Link: box.

Make sure that it only does links with http:// and not anything with a period like some programs.

"Pin current tag combination" option

Andrey Froloff 12 років тому оновлено Christof Deininger 9 років тому 2

If we need to view quickly a lot of tag combinations with some tags common for each combination (A+B-Z+C, A+B-Z+D, A+B-Z+N-P, A+B-Z+X), it would be helpful to pin common tag combination (A+B-Z) once, "pin" it and then sequentially pick individual ones (+C, +D, +N-P, +X) by just single click on each one.

It also would be perfect to have an ability to save pinned combinations (something like "Save search criteria")

Another reason - some notes are private, an should be hidden by default to prevent accidental expose to other people who see display. We could do it by pinning notes related to tag "personal" as boolean negative by pressing [Alt].

Window always on top mode

burrum 13 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 13 років тому 1

I use one of CintaNotes instances as a password manager (love the search). When I register on another site, I first create a new note, type all the fields (login, password, email, name, etc) into a note and then copy-paste them into site registration form.

Ability to pin note's window on top of other windows removes the need to switch windows during this process.

As a starting point, I suggest adding an option to keep all windows of a given CintaNotes instance on top: notes list and all opened notes. This way critical notebooks will be always on top, while others will behave regulary.

Later, all of these windows could be replaced with single window as discussed here:

http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3168-in-place-note-editing/

P.S. "Password manager" scenario is taken as example - it's not the only one that benefits from the suggested option.

"Move to section" as submenu instead of separate window

jww 11 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 11 років тому 0
Less mouse clicks -> faster.
Well, those who use keyboard shortcut will be disappointed.... I don't know, maybe should be submenu AND separate window for mouse/keyboard users, but it's a bit weird... Maybe there should be listbox instead of drop-down list, so I could just double-click there.

All I want to say it's takes too many clicks to do such simple operation.

Single lines are copied with bullet markers

How to reproduce:

1) make several lines with bullet markers

2) select one line (using Home and then Shift+End) and copy to clipboard

3) it will copy with the bullet marker


Some users find it quite annoying. They suggest to remove the bullet marker when copying to the clipboard, but keep it when multiple lines are selected.

Tag sidebar: when both parent and child tags are selected, the parent should stay selected when the child is deselected

ChrisCN 12 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 12 років тому 3

Hi

I also reported this in the forum:

http://www.cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1458&p=6006#p6006


If I select the tags using AND:
"work" AND "open" AND "open/important"

and after that I deselect "open/important"
-> also the selection for "open" gets removed.

On the other side - when I deselect "open"
-> only "open" get's deselected (and "open/important" stays selected).

I would expect the exact opposite behavior!?

If I deselect a parent -> all its children should be deselected
(if a task is no longer "open" it is also no longer "open/important").

If I deselect a child -> the parent should stay selected (if it was selected before).

Section Encryption

Add the ability to encrypt a section. To view notes in the encrypted section, one must enter a password each time that section gets selected. Switching away from an encrypted section requires to input the password again, when coming back. As long as the section is active, all notes can be opened without requiring a password.

Add several "clip text hot keys" with different section and tags assignment

jww 10 років тому оновлено Alex Jenter 10 років тому 1
In most cases my clipped text can be one of several categories, e.g."short funny texts", "things to insert in my diary", "some unsorted things" and maybe "some very important things, LOOK AND SORT URGENT". Three or four categories.

And I don't want to look at this note after clipping nd assign tags to these known categories. Just silent clipping, auto-assign tag "funny" and forget it.

I'd like to have several diffferent hotkeys for assgining some specific tag and section (e.g. Ctrl-F12 for common clippings and Ctrl-F11 for important things with tag "urgent"). Even one additional hotkey would be good, but three or four would be ideal.

Case:
If CintaNotes auto-start option enabled, program shows error "DB file not exists" because crypto-container is not mounted.
It would be better to open database on first window show instead.

Finally, my proposal is change CintaNotes start behavior a bit to make possible case: start user session, mount crypto-volume, then press HotKey and do not have any errors.

Sort Bullet/Numbered List

Adam Bryan 11 років тому оновлено Boris Monti 9 років тому 4

I have come across this a couple of times where I will create a list of items and will add or remove items from that list as and when necessary. However it would be easier if the list could be sorted a click of the button. I know a easy solution is to always keep the list sorted by adding the item in the correct place, but there are times when I'm in a hurry and to put it bluntly can't be bothered to work out where an entry should fit.


It's just a thought!
