Fixed, thanks!

Alex,

when copying text that contains an internal link i get the following error:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
class err::InvalidStateException
Postcondition failed:
app::controls::NoteRichEdit::addNoteLinksToRtf
rtfPos != string::npos
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

This is identical to Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins.

For implementing copying and pasting note links we now have to parse and modify raw RTF, and RichEdit sometimes generates something unexpected. So this error seems to be text-dependent. Could please send me the note that has demonstrated this behavior? Thanks!

Alex,

can you please tell us, what is your time-frame for the following features, previously discussed:

• make the 'All' button a regular TAB
• option to search across field boundaries

Thank you.

This seems to be the same thing I reported for Beta 1 here: http://cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1534&start=0#p6701
and I can confirm it is not fixed in Beta2. remark: only a problem for 'old' notes - the new once I created (with the beta) don't have this problem.

In addition CTRL+C and CTRL+SHIFT+C (in the note list) doesn't copy the formatting which also means it doesn't copy the links (as links).

Hi Alex
You already confirmed here (http://cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1534&start=20#p6711) that you can reproduce the problem. Do you still need additional examples?

No, thanks. This problem (the error message) shouldn't come up anymore.

This is a different problem We are working on it now.

[list]
[*]make the 'All' button a regular TAB

Will be implemented as part of the "new UI" project, which is scheduled right after we release
- Recycle Bin
- Migration to Simperium API (Simplenote stability and speed improvement)
- File and image attachments

Here is a small glimpse of what is to be expected (feedback welcome):

option to search across field boundaries

This is not planned yet because there are many higher ranked low and medium-complexity suggestions on the roadmap.

OK. Since this will take quite some time, there is one little annoyance that i ask you to change to the current implementation. Allow Ctrl+Tab/Shift+Ctrl+Tab to 'exit' the All-Button. Make it an alternative to pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space not for activating, but de-activating.

Sorry to hear. I'll add it to the roadmap, so it does not get out of sight, ok?

Wow, first impression this looks really smooth and nice.

I noticed there will be taken some extra space, that has been integrated into one panel previously. I guess this is related to the Save/Cancel-buttons? Are they for saving searches?

As for the note title, i remember a user who asked to align them all the same, regardless of the link symbol. This is just a reminder.

No problem, this is easy. Will include it in the next beta.

Sure, thanks. There actually already are some similar requests, and they've collected some votes, so I merged them into yours (yours is more general, which is good).

New UI looks good. Nod

Good to hear!:)

Yes, they are for saved searches. It is of course unfortunate that extra space needs to be taken, but it is inevitable with all new features implemented. Maybe we'll regain some space via moving the sync button to the top toolbar and turning the sync label into a tooltip.

Thanks, I'll remember that.

Thanks Thomas - I remember him too

I too like the new GUI - especially the colors.

Maybe we can have an option to turn off the feature "Save Searches" and get back some space (e.g. old style number of found notes right to the search-box).
