manual backup OK, then CN crash : vers 2.5 on Win XP SP3
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 3:32 pm
I get a crash to desktop with Windows report dialog a few seconds after successful manual backup from the file menu.
Backup file looks fine and DB size slowly growing as expected.
UPDATE
I have just exported 1,300 notes as a 2 Mb text file ; but no crash after this safety export completed. Crash is after manual backups only.

I rely on CintaNotes on this old laptop, so I have several sections and after important notes are added, I do a manual backup and then I push that DB onto a cloud drive.
Crashes began after adding a long note in French into INbox ; moved that note to its Fr section ; crashes continued ; cut most text out of that long note, but crashes continue.
The size of the DB continues to grow as expected, but I may soon test the DB with another tool as this is unnerving and I rely on these notes.
The Windows desktop failure only offers the dialog to advise MS or not.
The latest 32-bit Comodo Ice Dragon browser is usually the only other desktop app running, BUT, this 1 Gb RAM laptop is swapping over one Gb just for that browser's many windows ( epub browsing for text comparisons )
Most notes involve Japanese characters and URL's ... most land untagged in the INBOX until I go back to tag and shuffle into sections; very few are ever deleted ( the garbage bin is empty )
Am only running against the one DB when this happening, but had been using a few some weeks back.
The only other issue has been cosmetic with the tag dropdowns remaining partially visible after a tag suggestion selected ( a re-paint issue in a frame, I suppose, but I have not been concerned enough to look for it as it is, for me, non-functional / no-impairment of app.)
I searched bug posts, but always fear a dup ; if so, apologies in advance
No issue yet with CN on the 8GB huge HD i7 Quad Win7 home Pro box with CN 2.5 - just on this aging HP laptop with its highly fragmented HD and usually less than 400 MB free given huge swap file and browser temp files burgeoning - but I routinely save files OK from the browser (epubs, PDF's)
