Can't help but ask...
I'm "tagged" to CintaNotes... :!:


Hi doublewitt,
thanks for your interest. I'll do my best to release Beta M10 end of this month. During previous releases I've collected some 'design debt', where I've cut some corners, and now I'm taking time to get back there and make it right. This will make the code base more robust and flexible, ready for future changes.

Curiously, in software development, there are two conflicting opinions:
"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" and
"Everything worth doing well is worth doing badly before that".

They represent the extremes, and I try to stay somewhere in the middle ;)

As a user I'm always wanting an update, but as a developer I have to weigh the need to keep my users happy with a new version vs creating big problems if a feature just isn't ready...I don't envy you here Alex. Keep up the great work on an awesome program. We'll (hopefully) stay patient! :D

Yes, it is fixed, I already mentioned it here:
Advanced backup
Tag filtering (simple variation: no mixed ANDs and ORs)
Newest note on top instead of bottom (if time permits)
