Hi Alex,

thanks for that wonderful update, enhancing CN in its core functionality. However, sorry to say, there are some minor bugs in the release.

app.mainframe.minimizeonescape.immediate

I enabled the setting. It works when the notes list has the focus. It fails when the search-box has the focus, regardless whether the searchbox contains text or not.

Search across field boundaries

The setting is not restored correctly, for example:
Set siw=safb=on in All
Set siw=safb=on in section1
Click All
Uncheck safb
Click on section1
click on All
safb=off but should be off, but is turned on again

Tag filter retained

I set a tag filter in section All. I switch to another section, which contains notes, that match the tag filter. The tag filter applies to that section too, which was not the case in previous versions.

Recycle bin

open recycle bin
scroll down the list using arrow down
press ENTER

you get the following error:

class err::SystemException
Postcondition failed:
ui::controls::richedit::TomAdapter::setParaListStyle
p->SetListType(type) == ((HRESULT)0L)
(0)Der Vorgang wurde erfolgreich beendet.

This appears to relate to notes containing formatting. It happens on ENTER only. On double click nothing happens, not even the editor pops up.

Here are my settings:

filters.reset.onescape.enabled = 0
filters.reset.onescape.multistep = 0
filters.reset.onctrlf.enabled = 1
app.mainframe.minimizeonescape.immediate = 1
app.mainframe.minimizeonenter = 1

The settings "filters.reset.onctrlf.enabled" and "app.mainframe.minimizeonenter" were not present in the settings file. I first had to create them.

Thomas

PS: Clear on Ctrl+F and Minimize on ENTER work nicely.

Hi Thomas, thanks for testing!

thanks for that wonderful update, enhancing CN in its core functionality. However, sorry to say, there are some minor bugs in the release.

Sorry. Guess we'll be having 2.3.1 update soon

I enabled the setting. It works when the notes list has the focus. It fails when the search-box has the focus, regardless whether the searchbox contains text or not.

Confirmed and will be fixed.

Search across field boundaries[/u][/b]
The setting is not restored correctly, for example:
Set siw=safb=on in All
Set siw=safb=on in section1
Click All
Uncheck safb
Click on section1
click on All
safb=off but should be off, but is turned on again

And it should be on.
Since safb is on in Section1, when you click on All (adding other
sections to Section1) this setting is inherited.
"All" doesn't have own state.

I set a tag filter in section All. I switch to another section, which contains notes, that match the tag filter. The tag filter applies to that section too, which was not the case in previous versions.

Can't repeat this, sorry, more detailed steps needed.
Most probably you've set the tag filter before you clicked on "All", and then you returned to the same section.

open recycle bin
scroll down the list using arrow down
press ENTER
you get the following error:

Confirmed and will be fixed in the next update, thanks!

The settings "filters.reset.onctrlf.enabled" and "app.mainframe.minimizeonenter" were not present in the settings file. I first had to create them.

CN creates these settings after you've pressed ESC once.

Not sure how i produced this, but i confirm your steps. When i set a tag filter in section1 and go back to section All, the filter retains. The filter should be cleared, correct?

The filter is not cleared when you ctrl+click on another section.
Clicking on "All" is the same as ctrl+clicking all inactive sections.
So, the filter should not be cleared.

OK, so this is not a bug. I've never observed this behavior before. Strange. Anyway, so there are two bugs left only

First of all: thanks for improving the core functions again - especially "Search across field boundaries"

I think I found a problem similar to what Thomas has reported:

Code: Select all

app.mainframe.mindisplayednotelines = 0
app.mainframe.minimizeonescape = 1
app.mainframe.minimizeonescape.immediate = 0
app.mainframe.minimizetotray = 0

filters.autoreset.keepeditednotevisible = 0
>> filters.reset.multistep = 0
filters.reset.onctrlf.enabled = 1
filters.reset.onescape.enabled = 1

If the search field has the focus I still get a multistep reset even if 'filters.reset.multistep=0'.

[ChrisCN]

one additional remark:
in the settings file the setting is called "filters.reset.multistep"
in this post you called it "filters.reset.onescape.multistep",

[Mark S.]

Do any of these settings with "escape" in them prevent the ESC key from minimizing the application? Or is there an existing setting for that?

Thanks,
Mark

I think the option you are looking for was introduced in 2.2. Check Options/Window/Minimize on ESC.

Hi Chris,

huge thanks for you support via renewing

If the search field has the focus I still get a multistep reset even if 'filters.reset.multistep=0'.

Confirmed, thanks. Will be fixed in 2.3.1

A typo. Thanks!

Hi Chris, huge thanks for you support via renewing

My pleasure!
I have to thank you for continuously improving this valuable tool which I use daily.

I've just installed the new version (up from the 2.3 beta).

During installation the program displayed a message "the license has expired - stop or do you want to revert to the free version". If you then proceed, the installation completes successfully and the license is recognized... but that warning message might prevent some pro users from completing the installation.

Hi Riccardo, thanks a lot for letting me know. Could you please send to me your settings file? Thanks in advance!

[RSchiaffino]

Hi Alex, I was not sure which settings file you wanted (cintanotes.settings or install.settings), so here you get both of them.
