Hi Alex

Thanks for the new update. Here are a few comments:

* Tag sidebar: tooltips with full tag name when tag name doesn't fit
This works nicely - thanks!

* Editor: make editor's icon different from main window icon
Not sure where to set this.

* Editor: Enter in title should move focus to the note's text
This works, but also causes a beep on my machine.

Hi Gunars,
Thanks a lot for checking out the beta!

This works nicely - thanks!

Welcome!

* Editor: make editor's icon different from main window icon
Not sure where to set this.

You don't need to set anything here, just look at the icons of the editor windows - now they are
different from the icon of the main window. The problem was that on the taskbar it was difficult
to tell apart the main window from editor windows.

* Editor: Enter in title should move focus to the note's text
This works, but also causes a beep on my machine.

I confirm the problem, thanks. Will be fixed in the final release.

In this version:

Enhancements:

• Tag sidebar: tooltips with full tag name when tag name doesn't fit
  >> Nice
  
• Editor: make editor's icon different from main window icon
  >> working
  
• Notes list: Change of sorting should keep selection
  >> not working
  if I scroll down and select one note in the list and change the sorting from modified to created > a different note gets selected !?
  
• Editor: Enter in title should move focus to the note's text
  >> yes
  
• Editor: add "Indent/Outdent" context menu options
  >> nice - but behaves different than the shortcut when the cursor is somewhere within the line
  CTRL+Tab intends where the cursor is - the context menu intend always intends the whole line
  
• Editor: don't create empty notes even when OK pressed
  >> seems to work
  
• Change shortcuts for moving sections to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left/Right to enable word-selection in search box
  >> working

Alex,

thanks for the latest update.

* Tag sidebar: tooltips with full tag name when tag name doesn't fit
Nice.

* Editor: make editor's icon different from main window icon
The icon on my Win7 taskbar is always the main icon of the search-window. This is also true, when the main window itself is not visible and only an editor window is active. The change is visible though when using Alt+Tab which helps distinguish the different window types.

* Change shortcuts for moving sections to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left/Right to enable word-selection in search box
Fine.

* Editor: pasting into list item error
Fix confirmed.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reports!

[*]Notes list: Change of sorting should keep selection
>> not working
if I scroll down and select one note in the list and change the sorting from modified to created > a different note gets selected !?

Yep, that's the remaining problem. Will be fixed, thanks. But when you just change the direction, it works.

[*]Editor: add "Indent/Outdent" context menu options
>> nice - but behaves different than the shortcut when the cursor is somewhere within the line
CTRL+Tab intends where the cursor is - the context menu intend always intends the whole line

Ctrl+Tab has double meaning: it means "Indent" when the caret is in the beginning of the line, otherwise in means "Insert Tab character". The context menu always means "Indent the line". So I would rather consider it a feature than a bug

Thomas, thanks for testing!

Could you please send me a screenshot?

That's fine with me.

different from the icon of the main window. The problem was that on the taskbar it was difficult
to tell apart the main window from editor windows.

Sorry, I was thinking of the issue where someone requested the color of the icon in the notification area could be different than the main color scheme.

This works ok for me on Win7 - I do get two distinct icons on the windows and in the taskbar when icons are not being combined. With icons combined, they properly both go in the same group with the main "<" icon on top. I didn't try with multiple instances of CN since I don't usually run that way.

Yes, this is the way this was supposed to work. Thanks for checking it out!
