How to locate cinta note files in other than default location?

Davyd 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 3

currently it doesn't seem possible to put the notes or backup files in other locations. I would like mine in another drive that I use for data, rather than my C: drive.

Competitive Pricing with Evernote

Neil Moore 8 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 8 years ago 4

Evernote charges $35/year (USD) and $70/year (USD). Asking price of CintaNotes is $39, which is very ballsy for an app that doesn't yet have cross platform support implemented, let alone the extensive and growing list of features that Evernote has. Not only that, but Evernote is offering 50% off on their Premium plan, which actually ends up being cheaper than CintaNote's asking price. Part of why I'm here is because Evernote's "free" plan is becoming restrictive enough to warrant a second look at their pricing scheme, as well as competitor options. I'm happy to see that CintaNotes is heading towards direct competition with Evernote. The problem I foresee with CintaNotes gaining traction in a market that's currently dominated by Evernote, is an asking price that isn't competitive and unattractive. If I was at the helm, I'd set the asking price to no more than $20/year. If you somehow manage to implement key features that Evernote users want, you'll steal away Evernote users, and turn them into paying users at a healthy pace. And, for a price that's noticeably lower than Evernote's, paying customers will be forgiving due to the lack of features. As the CintaNote's userbase increases and catches up to Evernote's existing feature list, you can then make the choice to return the annual price to something that works best for you. Until then, it's simply too much and is hindering your efforts. Hopefully you'll agree. :) These are, of course, my opinions. You're welcome to handle CintaNote's pricing scheme and development however you want. I would rather support the efforts of CintaNote's because I used it for many years and recommended it to many people due to its usefulness and lightweight nature. I sincerely hope you consider altering the pricing scheme, as it will undoubtedly work out in your favor.


Thanks!

Indrayanto Suharko 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 3

On High DPI screen (at 120 DPI /125%), when we look at CintaNotes App Icon on System Tray, it looks Stretched/Blurry.

Is it possible to make the icon becomes High DPI aware?

Notes list without showing tags; notes list liability; toggle button for tags visibility;

Noah 10 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 10 years ago 3
Now I saw that tags are shortened from "Tag1/Tag2" to only "Tag2".
That's not helpful.
As I trust cintanotes to work correctly, I suggest to make showing of notes list without tags possible.
The tags are simply not needed when searching for notes from the tag bar.

For those browsing the notes list only, o.k.
Then a toggle button could switch tags in note list on/off.

Furthermore, the liability of the notes list is not so good; reading from top to bottom is not easy due to change from notes title to tags and vice versa and so on.

Thanks in advance for looking at this problem!

Remove Formatting for URL in Note

Chris Moore 9 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 9 years ago 1

There are rare times when I would like to put a URL into a note, but not have CN try and format it as a URL. At the moment, this can't be done as far as I can tell, it would be nice to have an option - like the right click Format->Clear option - that would allow you to click on a hyperlink in a note and remove it as a hyperlink (while leaving the text obviously). Basically the same as in Microsoft Word.

Notes lost when merged in modified order

panos771 panos771 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 13 years ago 0
Do the following:
1. Sort notes as modified from newer to older
2. Make 3 new notes (note1, note2, note3).
 (If we merge these notes the text will be note3-note2-note1 but we want the opposite).
3.Invert the order of list
4. Press [end] to go to the bottom of the list.
5. merge the 3 notes
6. Note1 and note3 are lost! we see only note 2.
Same problem does not happen when the notes displayed by creation order.

Error when editing dates in notes

Viktor 10 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 10 years ago 4
In note properties it is not possible to edit seconds, this sometimes leads to problems when trying to reset modification date to creation date.
Please make it possible to edit seconds.

(Original request in Russian:
В свойстве заметки невозможно менять секунды в датах (создания, изменения).
Т.о. если указать одинаковые даты может возникнуть ошибка "дата создания больше чем дата изменения".
Например было:
Дата создания: 01.01.2015 15:40:20
Дата изменения: 01.01.2015 15:42:10
Хочу их сделать одинаковыми (при этом секунды редактировать нельзя):
Дата создания: 01.01.2015 15:40:20
Дата изменения: 01.01.2015 15:40:10
Возникает ошибка.
Добавьте возможность редактировать секунды.
Только не обнуляйте их, а то сортировка сломается.)

Multiple Colored Strings in one line. E.G., <White>Jascha Heifetz</White> <LtBlue>Tchaikovsky</LtBlue> <LtGreen>Reiner, Chicago Symphony</LtGreen> AND ALSO... Change Background color to Dark-Brown-Black (for example).

first name last name 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 13 years ago 2

My reason for this request is I want to use this software for one purpose: Retrieve information on my music files collection in a single pane flat-list hyperlinked note base. The colored strings give me instant feedback about the "Tag", ie, White=ARTIST, LtBlue=COMPOSER, LtGreen=PERFORMER, etc etc.


It would be perfect if all text was bold font, and the Background color was Dark Brown-Black.


Ideally, I could also select a string line and link it to ONE or MORE external links (such as open folders or run a DOS-batch file or a Program)


Ideally, the perfect software for this task would have vertical and horizontal scroll bars and allow NO WORD WRAP !! and Have a "CTRL+F" function as good as in "Firefox".


Thanks for reading.

File link including arguments

Han54377 10 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 10 years ago 2
Is it possible to have a file link in note including command line arguments?
I looked this up n the forum and only found hint to
file:///C:\%20etc.

So, found "file:///" and hint to spaces "%20"; I tried some URLs with added commandline arguments but the error "file not found" always appears.
Simply dragging a shortcut from desktop doesn't work, too.

Reason is to start or focus a program with a given link.
I would like to combine UltraRecall with CintaNotes, where UltraRecall is a local wiki tool while CintaNotes has the best tagging around; solution at the moment is that I use TaggedFrog (I will try TaggTool for that, too)

Is there a solution for that?

Thanks!

Search Modifier

Chris Moore 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 7
I have my search bar set to 'tags' for all of my notebooks, as the tag is the primary means for me of locating notes. However, from time to time, I like to do other searches - such as full text. In this case, I have to change the search field to full text, do the search, and then change it back to tags afterwards. It would be nice to have a search modifier - I suggest the > character - that we could type at the beginning of the search field to have CN do a full text search, regardless of what the search field is set to search.

In my example, the search field would be set to tags. If I then type the following, CN will do a full text search for the word:
> test
(Will do a full text serach for the word 'test')

Please clarify some points

Vorland 12 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 12 years ago 2
There are some questions for CN version 2.0.3 running under Windows XP SP3 Russian:


1) For some reason the choosing of filling color in Section Property doesn't work - it is possible to choose only primary colors, when I change "Complementary colors" manually it changes in a demo color box, but doesn't changes as it is necessary in a program notes window. In general the algorithm of a coloring of a main CN window (for notes window) isn't clear to me - whether it is possible to set obviously color for each element of a notes window?

2) 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)

And there are some questions on functionality of the CN:

- How does notes saving to db-file works: at once after creation of note? Whether it is possible to make in the CN menu command or button for dumping (saving) of all cached notes information to db-file?
What settings should be made in the "cintanotes.settings" file for the safest work of the db-file, concerning notes saving to the db-file?

- How to change type of a font and its size for a editing notes window (through the "cintanotes.settings" file it is possible to change only a monospaced font or I am not right)?

And what policy of updating of the license after 1 year of free updatings? Interesting price for Russian users.

P.S. Excuse me for bad english...


Answer
Alex Jenter 12 years ago
1) Some coloring issues will be fixed in 2.0.4. However please note that CintaNotes uses only the hue of the selected color, to ensure that all tabs have colors which are evenly bright and look good together.

2) Seems to be a bug. Please post this as a bug report here on the roadmap.

3)
> How does notes saving to db-file works?
The note is saved when you press the OK button, or Ctrl+Enter, or ESC.
You can also save manually without closing the editor via pressing Ctrl+S.
An autosave feature is planned for the future, you can vote for it here:
http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/8698-autosave-currently-edited-note/

4)
>What settings should be made in the "cintanotes.settings" file for the safest work of the db-file, concerning notes saving to the db-file?
To ensure that no data gets corrupted even in case of a sudden system crash or hardware fault, you can set the "sqlite.pragma.synchronous" option to "FULL" instead of "OFF" in the settings file. This, however, will introduce a noticeable delay to all saving operations.


5)

>How to change type of a font and its size for a editing notes window?

As Thomas has said, you can change the font settings with the "Options -> Notes List..." menu option. They affect both the notes list and note editor.


6)

>what policy of updating of the license after 1 year of free updatings? Interesting price for Russian users?

The cost of 1-year updates prolongation will be 50% of the actual license price. (Please note that the actual license price is used and not the price which was paid a year ago for the original license.) So now it will amount to 199.5 roubles.
