Search- and sort prefs lost after tabchng/restart (2.0 lic.)
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:04 pm
For years I've been an avid user of Cintanotes. Just bought myself v 2.0 with a personal license!
However I'm afraid I've found a few nasty little bugs probably all related to the TABS (correction: read "section" where I write "tab"):
1. Click on magnifier in search bar and choose a search method. After changing tabs and going back to this tab, this setting is now gone (resets to "anywhere"). This one is not a real problem for me personally (I always use that sort order) but I can imagine not everyone is happy with this.
2. Click on magnifier in search bar and set "search inside words" (do it for one or multiple tabs). After restarting Cintanotes, this setting is gone for all tabs. I really don't like this one because I like to have it always set to "search inside words").
3. After setting (one or multiple) tabs to sort order: "modified", all tabs except one reset to "created" after restarting Cintanotes (I noticed there's only one setting stored for this in the settings file so I guess it's not meant to remember this for all tabs individually but for now the behaviour is kind off strange, I haven't tested if there's a logic as to which tab it remembers the "modified" setting and which one's are getting reset).
4. Not sure if this one is a bug but Importing an existing .db file in a specific tab doesn't work. It gets imported in the main tab. Didn't test this further but that's what I've noticed when importing my old .db's. Did I do something wrong? (in the end I used a workaround with temporary tags to select and move imported batches).
As far as bugs 1-3 are concerned: The fact that it's possible to set those prefs for all tabs individually implies there must be a mechanism wich remembers those prefs after tab switching and after restarting the app or am I wrong here?
I hope these are really bugs and not normal behaviour...Thanks in advance for adressing the issues.
(sorry for the bad English).
