interface tweaks

Hi

thank you very much for this productivity tool - it is really one for the hunter and gatherer!

I see - the development is in the bug fix and new features stage - so my suggestions regarding the user interface may be premature

For my working flow it would be nice if the Clipping Hot Key would open the NEW NOTE window if there isn't anything to clip

For me the main and the new note window should be independent - I have the main window aligned to the right side of the screen with the smallest possible width - using the tray icon menu item "New Note" the window pops up centered to the main window so that part of it is off-screen

For me the NEW NOTE window should pop up center screen - I want to input some info, so center screen is a good place for the window

For me it isn't very nice that with minimized application both windows (MAIN and NEW NOTE) pop up after using the NEW NOTE tray icon menu item

Thanks again for all your efforts
Thanks
XandY

Hi XandY,

thank you very much for your input!

>For my working flow it would be nice if the Clipping Hot Key would open the NEW NOTE window if there isn't anything to clip
It will do so in the next version. But it will still be better to use another hot key altogether since determining that "there isn't anything to clip" takes itself 1-2sec time and produces an irritating delay.

Sounds logical to me. But will be a bit tricky to implement.

Well, in the next version the note edit window will remember its position.

>For me it isn't very nice that with minimized application both windows (MAIN and NEW NOTE) pop up after using the NEW >NOTE tray icon menu item
I'll consider changing that, but it would possibly mean that both windows will show up on taskbar - are you ready for that?
