[@TK] another odity when Importing via both File and Entry menus the default filter is supposed to be txt, rtf, docx, html
It also shows Internet shortcut vovsoft which has no file extension! And is certainly no a txt, rtf, docx or html file. For some odd reason it is confusing a shortcut for an html document and not opening the page linked to by the shortcut. So it’s doing the worst of everything opening a useless short cut file as a document when it’s supposed to be only showing *.htm and *.html files actually the *.htm file mask used is *.htm? and a file.htmd shows op in the open dialog… rather than specifying the TWO file types explicitly i.e. both *.htm or *.html or *.txt or *.rtf or *.docx
Even selecting *.txt or *.docx file masks still shows internet shortcuts. It does not show program shortcuts just internet ones… maybe the file open method he’s using is confusing internet shortcuts for folder shortcuts as they are visible in the file open dialogs?
The keep a backup of the file does not work properly it literally keeps a copy of the current saved vtn file as the vtn.bak file… that’s pointless the vtn.bak should be the previous copy of the vtn file that just got overwritten by latest save so there’s always one level of backup in case the entry I added messed something up… I don’t need a copy of the messed up auto-saved vtn file.
I note it allows multiple instances using the same vtn file… maybe that’s the reason for the “Monitor for external file modification” Setting that is selected by default. I’m certain that is asking for file sharing violations or potential file corruption if two or more instances try to save the file at the same time… that should get very messy as it’s not using a multi-user database format!
I’ll stick with allmynotes as my main note taking windows program as it’s proprietary database format has self-repair built in as well as strong encryption if I want it.
