I exported 10k notes as xml. It's completed pretty quickly.
Then I imported them into a brand new Cintanotes. In a pretty short time, I see it at 100%:
But after that, it has been stuck on this screen like this for the past hour.
Is this a bug?
Or should I continue waiting?
Does "import" have a bug?

It probably was stuck checking for duplicates. If there are a lot of similar notes, it can be an issue.
If you check the "Allow duplicates" checkbox, the import will go much faster.

Ic, it's working.
Suggestion: should have some kind of warning or put it as the default, or at least a progress bar that shows the progress of duplicate checking. and duplicates should be real duplicates. byte-for-byte same data and meta data. Two pieces of notes with the same title yet different time should be recognized as two distinct notes.

We'll try to improve the process for sure.
Re. checking for duplicates: not only note title is checked, but all other fields as well.
I can't see how it could be useful to have two exact same notes differing only by modification date?

Re: Does "import" have a bug?
I'm using each note as a row in a database.
For users that do this, they too will need creation date to be recognized as a unique info.
Eg, I store row1:
data: ABC, created-date: D1.
Then, somewhere down the road, I store row2:
data: ABC, created-date: D2.
Then, somewhere down the road, I store row3:
data: ABC, created-date: D3.
The database should look like this:
data: ABC, created-date: D1.
data: ABC, created-date: D2.
data: ABC, created-date: D3.
It's 3 unique rows! You can't just collapse them into one row.

Re: Does "import" have a bug?
There's just one question here: why exactly are you expecting from a note-taking program functionality of a general-purpose database and want to impose your semantic over semantic that's built in to the program?
