on Friday March 16 you released v1.6 beta 1. Maybe you didn't want to announce it yet, but that make's it hard to discuss the beta. For easier communication i will post my experiences here.
Misc
- Note editor status bar: When saving a note there is a flicker at the bottom windows border. I think the text "Note saved" appears twice. The second is not wanted. You have to save the note a couple of times, for the flicker is not always visible.
- Ctrl+U to list untagged work's fine
- Ctrl+Enter to clip a note should include the title
- With v1.6 CintaNotes's windows appear on all my dexpot desktops. Is there a change in cn's windows handling?
- Fixed search issues: I had time to test only little, but at a first glance it work's fine for the reported issues. I was puzzled about the following phrase: "people apart" will find "people apartment". Search does not end at word borders. But i checked with google, which treats the issue just the same manner. So this is just a remark.
- Multiple Notebooks support: I have not yet tested the feature, but suggest to add a combo to the gui that can easily be accessed. Fill the combo with the list of available db's and add a shortcut to it. That would make using different notebooks (db's) far more powerful and attractive to use, since switching between them should be an easy task. Make the combo visible only, when differenct db's are available.
HTML Export
- The HTML appearance is nice.
- Using the title for notes that have a link is smart, though it wasn't obvious to me right away.
- Exporting allows for selected/all. When selecting "all" the entire database will be exported, regardless of any filters. I think this is a bug. It should export "all" notes of the current view (search resultset) only.
- There is another bug with some notes containing links, which will not be recognized and exported as plain text. I think this is the same bug, that affected notes in the notes editor and was fixed a couple of weeks ago.
- I suggest to add folding/unfolding of notes. This might require to include javascript in the exported html file.
Language issues (german)
[*]file\new should be "Datei\Neu..."
[*]file\open should be "Datei\Öffnen..."
[*]file\save as should be "Datei\Speichern unter..."
[*]file\close should be "Datei\Schließen"
[*]help\license should be "Hilfe\Lizenz"
[*]search\search inside words should be "Suche\Suche in Wörtern"
[*]Options/Clipping/After Clipping/Assign currently active tags should be
"Optionen\Ausschneiden\nach Ausschneiden\Ausgewählte Marker zuweisen"
The features available with beta 1 look really nice. Imo this will be a great version for commercial release. I wish you really great success on this.
