Stef, thanks for all the kind words!

Well it's best to do some tests first. The parameters which I wrote above are not independent from each other. For example, if each note is 10MB, the practical limit for the number of notes will be much lower than 100,000. Also, it is important where you keep the notebook: obviously working on an SSD will be much faster than a regular HDD, and HDD will be faster than a USB stick.
So CintaNotes might get slow when you load a lot of information into it, but it shouldn't break - at least it didn't break from my stress tests.

Great to hear, thanks!
stefan2078 wrote:The tagging system is more advanced than of any note taking tool even better than what TiddlyWiki offers.
Yes, the tagging system is CN's strong point, and we intend to make it even stronger in the future.

Not for a couple of years but for my entire life and because if this, I am also looking not only for tons of important features but active development, active forum (responses mainly but questions too), chances to be developed on other OS-es too (Android ex.).
Well I can't tell for 10+ years into the future, but at least for the next year you can be sure that CN development won't cease. And I've already started working on an Android app.
Also, CintaNotes data format is not closed. You can open the .db file in any SQLite editor and query data with SQL. Also you have XML export, so it will be possible to convert your data into any other format should the need arise.
stefan2078 wrote:Some features I still need to move all my data in Cintanotes such as the attachments feature.
The attachmenets will probably appear somewhere in September with version 2.9. Before there will be version 2.8 will forward/backward navigation and big performance improvements (but probably also initially with a log of bugs because of very heavy refactoring that we are doing

Yes, unless we're really time-pressed we'll implement some kind of image previews.
stefan2078 wrote:It would be nice to see the attachments' content without opening it with an external viewer.
Well you understand that this depends on the attachment's type. For common image types this should be no problem, but for DOC, PDF and other types we probably won't bother.

You're welcome to add these requests to [url=roadmap.cintanotes.com]our roadmap[/url]. If your ideas get many votes from other CN users, we'll schedule them for implementation.

Currently you can press Ctrl+Space in the tags field to get the list of all tags. Also there's this suggestion, please check it out:

Let's first check the max DB size. According to
this page (item 14, "Maximum Database Size"), "this translates into a maximum database size of approximately 140 terabytes". Also they say that "tests do verify that SQLite behaves correctly and sanely when a database reaches the maximum file size of the underlying filesystem".
The attachments will use an integer ID, which is an integer, so 4 billion max.
As for the max size of a single attachment, according to the same page it is 2147483647 bytes, or ~2 GB.
(So no Bluray movies as attachments, sigh).
But anyway, if you plan to put in large attachments, probably the external folder is the way to go. It will be also faster because there will be no need to copy it to hard disk and back for any external processing.
stefan2078 wrote:If the attachments feature will be similar to the way TreeDbnotes uses them it will be fine too (its content not displayed in the notes but can be open with external viewers and file operations such as attachments renaming, deletion are possible). A quick preview mode of attachments and attachments browsing are welcome.
Yes, we'll support opening attachments in external editors, renaming and deleting. CintaNotes will copy the attachment into a temporary file, run the editor process with this file, and wait for the editor to finish. After that it will copy the changed file back into the database.

Thanks a lot, hope you won't regret getting yourself a PRO license!
