CintaNotes 1.0 Released!

In this version:

• SQLite is now used as internal notes database. (Feature)
  Now CintaNotes uses an industry-strength database in the backend! It now can boast reduced memory consumption on large
  notebooks and search that is even faster than before.
  
  
• Full text search with extended query syntax (Feature)
  It's like CintaNotes now has a little Google inside.
  
  
• Sorting notes by date, title, link and size. (Feature)
  
  
• New parameters in the .settings file. (Enhancement)
  Finally you can specify the path to the notebook file to load.
  
  
• Some minor bug fixes

Download:
Installable: CintaNotes_1_0_Setup.exe
Portable: CintaNotes_1_0.zip

MANY thanks to those who took the time to check out the preview versions!

Here I call for their attention. Guys, the 1.0 version (as opposed to Previews 1 and 2) now uses UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 in the database. This can be changed only when the database file is first created. So I strongly advise you to export your notes to XML, delete the .db file, and reimport them back. The database file should shrink from 20 up to 40% in size.

Looking good. I’m running the portable version on Win7.
But a minor comment – when I insert a record it takes (what I think is) too long to display it, similarly with delete and move.
Great stuff, Nod.

Nod, thanks for taking a look! A couple of questions:
- Are you running from USB stick?
- How large is your notebook?
- Have you changed the "sqlite.pragma.synchronous" parameter in settings file?
- Have you re-imported it to convert into UTF-8 as I suggested?
- It also can be that the backup file was written at the same time, that can slow down disk responsiveness.

USb stick - yes
size - 272kb
settings - no
re-imported - not for v1, tho I did for previews.

Hmm, for database this small you shouldn't notice any slow down.
Is it faster now (may confirm the backup version)?
And you should also try re-importing it again, because like I said, Previews still used UTF-16.

Sorry - the reimport sorted my problem
Tho, without reverse order selected my new notes are at the bottom

Looks like a bug. I'll investigate. What was the order when you exported, and when imported?

I know what's the problem. The order of notes in XML is dependent now on the "Reverse Order" option.
I really don't know if this is a bug however, because it can come in handy that the notes are exported in the same order as they are currently seen. If you export with "Reverse Order" turned off, the order is retained.

You can actually use this to turn the order back to normal. Just export notes one more time with "Reverse Order" on.

Ok I'm going to bed now... It's 4 AM here

win 7 cn

report error :microsoft visual c++ runtime library error

I have runtime error too, but if program is started under administrator account everything is ok. System WinXP SP3. The same problem was in preview1, in preview2 it was fixed. Now it came back.

Errors:

Yup I can confirm the error is back Alex.

This is just a regression due to some source control issues, don't worry, your notes are safe! I'll release a fix today! Sorry!

No probs Alex You fixed it once we know you will fix it again

yes indeed -no problem.
