CintaNotes for Workgroups

Thomas Lohrum 12 years ago updated by Christof Deininger 9 years ago 10
CintaNotes is a perfect desktop client for a single user taking notes. This limitation is a pity. I suggest to introduce support for workgroups. Add the ability to share and manage notes amongst a number of users in a (small) team.

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.

Notes List; No display of tags

Noah 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 12 years ago 0

 When You use the tag list on the left, showing tags on the right may not be needed. For many notes, list gets "cleaner" when only showing the title.

Maybe I missed a configuration so far; so, this is done as a question.

Thanks!

Roadmap: Be more specific about planed features

MuadDib 14 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 14 years ago 3
Within the roadmap, feature suggestions are marked as "planed", "under review" etc. When a feature is planed, it would be nice to get more specific information: Is it they planed as an optional feature (i.e. some sort of plugin), or something that will be part of the core app?

Perhaps the "planed" state can be split in "planed as core feature" and "planed as optional feature" or the like?

Rationale:

As it is in the sense of both the developer and many users to keep CN simple and don't go into the "featurism" trap, it would be comforting to see at first glance whether a feature is optional, and hence won't necessarily bloat the code that *every* user will have to install.

Notes window; opened at specific position by title; tools available?

Han54377 10 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 10 years ago 5
At the moment, when notes are opened and links are followed in those notes, other notes window open in a random position (I think after positioning, the current position is stored).
But even position is stored; is it stored by CintaNotes or by Windows? An auto-arrange after note creation would be a great help.

It would be nice if the notes would position and size by part of the title of the window.

I looked after a tool doing this like Pistaschio, Actual Window Manager or WinSplit Revolution; but didn't find one making this possible.

Any idea or tool known?

Thanks a lot!

I would like to view and edit the full text of a composite notes (including notes-components which are displayed in more than 50 lines) without excess tags.

For the convenience of viewing and editing the composite notes it is necessary to create automatically generated table of contents of composite notes that allow to jump to the necessary part.

CN rewrites settings file on every run AND close, even if no settings changed

burrum 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 13 years ago 3

Assume we have a CN folder with a DB. Write down .settings date/time attribute.


1. Open CN. Notice how .settings modified date changed.
2. Wait a minute
3. Close CN. Notice modified date changed again.

Once I could catch a moment when the size of the .settings file was 0 bytes, and got back to its previous size after directory refresh. So I assume it gets rewritten.


I think correct behavior would be when .settings file is not touched on startup (except the first time, when it is created on startup if absent), and is written only when any setting is changed via the program UI.

Displaying and editing note's title in more than one line

Showing note's title only in one line makes it difficult to read and write long note's titles. It is necessary to duplicate them in the beginning of the notes. So I have to duplicate long note's title at the beginning of the note's text.

Importing .db modifies the source file (1.5.4)

burrum 13 years ago updated by Alex Jenter 13 years ago 0

If I import a .db file into CN 1.5.4, it modifies that file. This is no way right.


Reproduce:

1. Create two portable CN installations: 1.5.3 and 1.5.4
2. Create a .db in CN 1.5.3, close CN
3. Import that .db in CN 1.5.4
4. Run CN 1.5.3

5. Get an error:


Image 13


This is getting even more interesting in the following scenario:

Run CN 1.5.3
Run CN 1.5.4, import file that is opened in CN 1.5.3.

The file is changed, but the running CN 1.5.3 is still able to write into it. It will not be able to run again, but if we open 1.5.3's .db file in 1.5.4, we will see the new entry.


I think importing should not touch the source in any way.
