[Ann] CintaNotes 3.2 Beta 1 (Autotagging Rules Early Preview)
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:40 am
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to finally be able to publish a very early preview of our next major feature - Autotagging Rules.
WARNING: THIS IS A VERY EARLY PREVIEW and the main purpose of it is to collect user feedback on the new feature.
It is possibly VERY BUGGY!! Don't use it with your actual notes!
First, some screenshots:
QUICK RULES FAQ:
What are autotagging rules?
Simply put, these rules allow you to define conditions under which notes will be tagged (or untagged,
or even moved to another section) automatically.
Can I activate and deactivate a rule at will?
Yes. Each rule has an "active" flag which you can set. When this flag is not set, the rule is skipped during rule application process.
When exactly are the rules applied?
A new or modified rule is automatically applied to all existing notes upon closing the Rules window.
After that, each time any note changes in any way, all active rules are re-applied to it.
For new notes, rules are applied upon first save.
Is there a way to test the rule before activating it?
Yes. Rule editing window has the "Test Rule" button. After pressing it, the rule is tested against all notes in the notebook and CintaNotes will report to you how many times the rule actions would be executed.
Why there are no conditions on created and modified dates?
They are planned but not implemented yet. Will be added in Beta 2.
Are rule conditions equally fast?
No. For example, "contains" condition is much slower than "starts with" or "ends with" conditions.
Conditions with "any text field" are slower than conditions for specific fields.
The "any text field - contains" or "text - contains" conditions are the slowest and should be used as the very last ones, after
other conditions reduce the number of analyzed notes.
Hope you enjoy this beta, and as always, huge thanks for your help and advice!
Please share what you think about the new feature, do you have any problems with it, etc. Thanks!
