Hi GoD,
Can't reproduce the problem here (on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1), the tray icon correctly reappears after I manually kill and restart explorer.exe from Task Manager.
Could you please tell me which version of Windows you are using now (still Win7?), and detailed steps to reproduce the problem? Thanks!

If you put the remark's text into the note's _title_, you don't have to click - the title will be displayed in a tooltip when you hover with the mouse over the link.

However what you're suggesting is an interesting feature, although not very easy to implement. However if many people vote for it, we'll put into our schedule without doubt.

Thanks for the suggestion!
One simple workaround till we implement this is to do something like this:
Here is some text[1]. Here is some more text with another annotation[2]. And another one[3].

Just for the sake of completeness, there's another way to do it. If you e.g. select the word "text", please Alt+Shift+N, select "Create new note" and write in the new note's title "This is actually a German translation", you'll be able to see the remark when hovering over the word. (In order for the "remark" notes not to be in your way, you can put them into a separate section of the notebook.) But the word will be turned into a link, this may or may not be acceptable for you.
The advantage of this approach is that you don't have to renumber half of remarks if you insert another one into the middle.

Thanks for the info. Well this is highly unusual way to use the program. I suggest you simply change the "backup.checkperiod.minutes" parameter to 1, this should reduce the problem (don't change it to 0, this will make the app unresponsive). Note that backup is a background process that is designed to run while the program is idle, and since you run CN for such a short time, there's no guarantee that backup will be able to finish before you exit the program. You can however also do a manual backup which runs in foreground using the File/Backup/Backup Now command.

Great to hear, please let me know if there are any problems down the road!

That's right, CN must run for at least 5 minutes to create a backup files. This is done to optimize startup time.
May I ask why you run CN for less than 5 minutes when it is designed to permanently run in the system tray?

Hi Anthony,
Please note that since version 2.9 CN went from shared to exclusive database usage mode.
You'll need to edit the cintanotes.settings file to return back the shared mode.
Please exit CN (this is important, otherwise your changes won't stick!), then find the cintanotes.settings file (it will be either near cintanotes.exe, or in %APPDATA%/CintaNotes).
Change the line
sqlite.pragma.locking_mode = EXCLUSIVE
to
sqlite.pragma.locking_mode = NORMAL

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

Great, thanks!
