CintaNotes for Workgroups


Please clarify some points
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...

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:

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.

Accept tag autocomplete on RIGHT ARROW key
It seems to me natural to confirm autocomplete also with RIGHT ARROW key.
Currently we confirm with ENTER.


Error in seconds when editing dates in notes
В свойствах заметки при редактировании даты.
1. Редактирую время в "Дате создания"
2. Заполняю часы, поле редактирования переходит на минуты.
3. Заполняю минуты, поле редактирования переходит на "Дату изменения". Это ОШИБКА, поле редактирования должно переходить на секунды.
4. Редактирую время в "Дате изменения"
5. Заполняю часы, поле редактирования переходит на минуты.
6. Заполняю минуты, поле редактирования остается на минутах. Это ОШИБКА, поле редактирования должно переходить на секунды.

Notes List; No display of tags
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!

Sorry for late reply!
No, there's no such option at this moment.

Broken link on site
"Synchronize notes across multiple PCs
CintaNotes supports live note synchronization with the help of free online services such as DropBox or LiveMesh."
LiveMesh link is http://cintanotes.com/livemesh , which is 404

Subtitles integration
So that you could use cintanotes to switch between different subtitles and grab them into cintanotes. For instance to learn language by watching sitcom.


Configurable position of section tabs

Roadmap: Be more specific about planed features
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.

Wrong url highlighting when using german umlauts.

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

Automatically generated table of note contents
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.
This Idea linked with http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/3224-editing-multiple-notes-in-one-edit-window/.

CN rewrites settings file on every run AND close, even if no settings changed
Assume we have a CN folder with a DB. Write down .settings date/time attribute.
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.

Switching sections with right click and mouse wheel
Will allow to very quickly switch the section using only the mouse, and without having to move the mouse to the section bar!

Large texts (>64Kb) cannot be edited

Installation into Program Files fails if installer is not run as admin
The "CintaNotes_1_5_1_Setup.exe" file failes when executing. It can not install Cintanotes.exe. System Win7-x64.

Numbered text formatting error (CN 2.3 Beta 1)
Reproduce:
- Make text formatting with Ctrl+Tab
- Make this text a numbered list with Ctrl+Tab
Result: numbered text goes to its original position as it was before Ctrl+Tab formatting

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.

In edit boxes, characters like "y" "q" and "_" don't fit

Importing .db modifies the source file (1.5.4)
If I import a .db file into CN 1.5.4, it modifies that file. This is no way right.
Reproduce:
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:
This is getting even more interesting in the following scenario:
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.
