Quick question for CintaNotes Pro users. Can you search across multiple notebooks if they are all open? The trial version only allows you to open one notebook at a time. I sent a question to the developer on Friday and have not received any response, automated or otherwise, and am in the middle of evaluating the program. I like the hierarchical tagging feature, but would need to search across notebooks when looking for outstanding items. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Cintanotes lets you switch between notebooks, but I don’t think you can have multiple notebooks open at the same time. At least I couldn’t figure out how to do it and I couldn’t find anything in the help file.
The search does work across multiple tabbed sections in the same notebook, though.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the reply. It is a shame that this is not a feature, as I frequently like to collect similarly tagged items from various projects for reporting/discussion, so this, along with no rich text or tables pretty much rules out CintaNotes. It is a shame because I like to support small software companies, but it seems many of their products contain one great feature, like hierarchical tagging, but they are missing other features that I would consider key for this type of product.
I should also mention that I did receive a kind from the author to my reply late last week. He mentioned that the other features that I was looking for were not in the program, but that I could request them at one of those “wish list” web sites that companies often use. I understand using a process for collecting ideas, but I do have to wonder how many users these small companies have that a process is needed for consideration of new features.
I wanted to like CintaNotes, because it has a nice clean interface, and it seemed quite fast. But, it was not the program for me. It occupies a niche, and for those that it fulfills their needs, it seems like a nice solution.
