Cool, thanks a lot Thomas!
I'll also add that it's possible to configure CN to open links on a single click if you want: Options/Editor/Links/Single-Click Links.

Hello Paul, thanks for the idea! 
Could you tell why is it not possible to just use the "Insert Link" function in the note body?

Grigory, thanks a lot for your input. We'll definitely take it on board when it comes to implementation of whole DB encryption. Regarding the "delayed DB open" feature, let's see if it gets people's votes.

Well the setting "show editor after clipping" might not be activated. But otherwise you have a point, maybe displaying the logon dialog is not that bad, at least the user knows he has the notebook encrypted.
BTW when should the notebook be encrypted again, what do you think? When CN is minimized to tray? I doubt that the notebook should be freely accessible till the next reboot.. Maybe after an inactivity timeout? Do you know how other apps deal with this? Thanks

Ok, I understand your concerns about manual mounting. But there's one thing which bugs me here: suppose CN is run without db, and than the user presses Ctrl+F12 to clip text - without opening the app.. what should happen then? If logon screen appears, it will be unexpected for the user - s/he just wants to save some text, not access encrypted data.

Hello Grigory,
Thanks for the idea! Have you tried some delayed start options, so that CintaNotes only starts when the crypto container is already mounted? (The most primitive thing to do would be write a bat file that would mount the container first, and then run CintaNotes, but there are better alternatives, e.g. using the Task Scheduler).

Ok, agreed. Thanks guys
