1.62 allows one to have more than one Notebook.
Problem 1: If you open a new note (File/new) and then want to return to a previous notebook, the "quick link" to the previous notebook may not work: You MAY get a message like: "Cannot find c:\program files\cintanotes\cintanotes.db. That's because the file cintanotes.db is NOT in this path!!! If this happens, try File/Open/filename.
2. DEADLY file killer: DO NOT try to drag and drop a link onto a CintaNote note. Here's what happened to me: I opened CintaNotes, chose File/New/ and entered a new file name. The new file opened and I created a new note. I then tried to drag a link onto the note. CintaNotes froze and I had to kill it using Windows task manager.
When I reopened CintaNotes, I could not recover my original "cintanotes.db" notebook. I used a disk search, but that didn't find it. I have GoBack, so I used its file recovery option, but that also didn't find the notebook. Finally, I used GoBack to restore my disk to two hours earlier. That finally recovered the notebook.
