[Ann] CintaNotes 2.6.1 Beta 2

Postby CintaNotes Developer » Tue Jun 03, 2014 7:25 pm

Hi all,
really didn't want to release another beta.. but the changes and fixes accumulated,
and releasing 2.6.1 final has gradually become risky. So I decided to play it safe and
release another beta first. As usual, would be grateful for your feedback!

Jun 04, 2014 - Version 2.6.1 Beta2

In this version:

Enhancements:
  • Make search string always shared between sections
  • Double click to select all sections
  • Middle click to change inbox section
  • Pasted notes now go into their original section if it is currently active
  • Search string like "-tag" + Enter now works for negating tags from the search box

Fixes:
  • Import error on non-lowercase file extension
  • Editor: Crash after selecting all text and trying to "Find previous"
  • Editor: Single lines were copied with bullet markers
  • Editor: Numbered lists were copied to notepad with wrong counting
  • Editor: Ctrl+C in Link field was not always working
  • Editor: Empty line added via Shift+Enter shouldn't end bulleted and numbered lists
  • Delete note confirmation message dialog could get extremely wide
  • Tag list filter setting was reset on notebook switching
  • (Regression) Search: Negated words in search were not working
  • Notes list: Multiple Ctrl+BkSp lead to a crash

Download:
Installable: CintaNotes_2_6_1_Beta2_Setup.exe
Portable: CintaNotes_2_6_1_Beta2.zip

Alex,

thanks for all the useful enhancements and fixes!!!

Enhancements:
  • Double click to select all sections
    Very nice! There is a minor issue, though. Will post a separate report.
  • Middle click to change inbox section
    ok
  • Pasted notes now go into their original section if it is currently active
    I confirm the pasted note will have the same section as the origin note, even when section "all" is active. :)
  • Search string like "-tag" + Enter now works for negating tags from the search box
    It works, but there is a performance issue. I will post a separate report.

Fixes:
  • Editor: Single lines were copied with bullet markers
    Works fine now.
  • Editor: Empty line added via Shift+Enter shouldn't end bulleted and numbered lists
    Great. Thank you!

Performance issue with negated tags

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:03 pm

Example

"todo" and "-done" both are tags.

This works fine:

  • todo Ctrl+Enter
  • -done Ctrl+Enter


Noticable delay here:

  • todo Enter
  • -done Ctrl+Enter

Will send debug.log via private mail.

Double click on section tab

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:20 pm

The double-click change is good. Two minor issues though.

  1. When you double-click on a tab, when section "All" is active already, the screen will flash, because "All" gets activated over and over again.
  2. When you double-click on a non-active section, it will first activate that section and then activate "All". "All" should be activated directly, though.

Tab context-menu "Select all"

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:22 pm

The context menu of tabs should name the shortcut as "Ctrl+Shift+Space".

I can't think of any way to avoid that, unfortunately. Any double-click is born as a single-click, and CN can't differentiate between the two without introducing a nasty delay in reaction.
UPD: I think I've come up with a way to at least make double-click simply deactivate All mode, without turning it on again. I'll need to do some experiments however.

When you double-click on a non-active section, it will first activate that section and then activate "All". "All" should be activated directly, though.

Once again, I can think of no way to do that without delaying reaction...

Crash with SQLite

Postby Thomas Lohrum » Wed Jun 04, 2014 3:42 pm

Alex,

i've just had a SQLite Exception, when i tried to delete to recycle bin. Actually it moved the note to r-bin, but i think the note editor did not get closed and i was able to delete a second time. Not sure about the exact steps i performed. I was also running some tests with Export that time. I was not able to reproduce this. Any changes you made regarding deleting notes and/or r-bin?

Only the issue with the delete note confirmation dialog width. I doubt it can be connected in any way to an SQLite Exception, so probably this is some old bug. Please check your CN folder for a log file, it is always produced when an exception occurs, even when Debug logging is turned off. Having the exact error message could really help.
Thanks!

There was a log file log.1.txt only. Its size had zero bytes. I have observed this many times when crashes occurred. So the log is of no help.

That's a pity. Means we'll have to wait till it happens next time. Your desciption of the problem is just too generic for any meaningful diagnostic, sorry(

Yes, i know. Maybe the crash mechanism can be improved, respectively the log mechanism. Do you actually flush the log file?

Sure, it's flushed immediately after each log statement.

Good, since I spent an hour trying to make this better, but didn't like the result.
