[Ann] CintaNotes 1.5.1

Postby CintaNotes Developer » Tue Nov 01, 2011 6:08 am

Hi all,

just want to tell you that the new version will come out on November 3rd, two
days after the previous announced date (Nov 1st). This is because a few things
still need some polishing.

I don't have enough time to finish the licensing module, and I don't want to
postpone the release any more - you've already waited for too long.

This is why I have decided that the version 1.5 will still be free. The version after
that will be commercial.
However, the basic text formatting support will remain a commercial feature. This
will mean that in version 1.5 you can try it out, but you shouldn't rely on it if you
don't plan to buy the commercial license. After upgrading CN from 1.5 to the next
version, you won't be able to use the text formatting features until you get the
license. Hope that you'll find my decision fair.

Well, see you again in this topic soon ;)
Alex

Thanks for the good news Alex.

I could hardly expect the new version (especially the text formatting support).

When the commercial version comes out, I will buy this version instantly.

Than you for your work and your fair offer!

Huge thanks to everyone for your support!

Nov 3, 2011 - Version 1.5.1

In this version:

Features:
  • Basic text formatting support in notes editor
    You can now format text in notes editor. Bold, italics, underline, strikeout, monospace and highlighting are supported. Also you can make bulleted and numbered lists. Text formatting support is optional and can be turned off in the Options / Editor menu.
  • Notes list can display formatted text in note preview.
  • Import and export of text formatting to and from XML.
  • New "Option/Startup" submenu with two options which previously has been available only via manual editing of the .settings file: "Run Minimized" - makes CintaNotes run minimized to tray; "Allow Multiple Instances" - use this to run many copies of CN simultaneously.

Enhancements:
  • Refreshed program icons and logo, by a professional designer
    (The program icon doens't look ugly on Windows 7 taskbar anymore!)
  • Tab characters now don't get autoconverted to spaces.
  • Updated "About CintaNotes" dialog.
  • Display of a descriptive message when trying to load unknown new version of the notebook file.

Fixes:
  • Search: click on a note used to erroneously accept tag suggestion.
  • XML export without specifying 'XML' extension could lead to failure.
  • When editing note title Ctrl+Alt+Key shortcuts were not recognized.
  • German umlaute in tags were not lowercased correctly.

Download:
Installable: CintaNotes_1_5_1_Setup.exe
Portable: CintaNotes_1_5_1.zip

Re: [Ann] CintaNotes 1.5.1 - Text format and historical mono

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:26 pm

Until 1.4.3 i used "Courier New" for editing text, because i wanted to be able to position my text in columns. With 1.5 i should be able to do so by using bullet lists. However i can not switch to a proportional font, because it would break all existing note formats. Maybe 1.5 should have introduced a font for editing new style notes.

Re: [Ann] CintaNotes 1.5.1 - Tab characters

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:28 pm

Starting with version 1.5.x tab characters are no longer converted to spaces. Is there an option to turn back the old behaviour? I like to convert tabs to spaces as with version 1.4.3.

Trying to install the new version (windows xp) I get the following error:
"The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Version 1.4.3 runs flawlessly for me...
Can anyone help please?

I don't quite get now can bulleted lists help to maintain columns of text. Did you probably mean tab characters?

Unfortunately right now there isn't, but I've created an issue on the roadmap for it:
http://roadmap.cintanotes.com/topic/797 ... onversion/

Since it is not difficult to implement and quite natural, it should be done in one of the next versions.

Could you give a bit more info about the error please:
Which version of Windows do you have?
Which folder do you install CN into?
Do you run installer as admin?
Thanks!

Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
My current version of CN (1.4.3) runs from "C:\Program Files\CintaNotes\cintanotes.exe"
I'm the only one who uses this computer.
Btw, the error occurs right after I double click on CintaNotes_1_5_1_Setup.exe
Thank you,

Maybe you've got a corrupted download. Have you tried re-downloading the package?
