User Files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cintanotes.db (configurable) - Notes database

backup\notebook.hourly.db - Hourly backup of the notes database
backup\notebook.daily.db - Daily backup of the notes database
backup\notebook.weekly.db - Weekly backup of the notes database

Advanced Configuration Options

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some options of CintaNotes can only be set via editing the
cintanotes.settings file. Be sure to edit it using a Unicode-aware text
editor (e.g. Notepad).
app.mainframe.basecolor
Encoded base color of the current color theme. It is basically a hex
value like #F05A00 converted to decimal. It is a dark color used as a
hue reference value, all colors of the theme are derived from it via
blending it with white in different proportions.
app.mainframe.tagsidebar.width
Width of the tags sidebar, in pixels (92 by default).
backup.folder
Folder CintaNotes writes backup files to ("backup" by default). Both
relative (e.g. "..\..\backup") and absolute (e.g. "f:\backups\cn") paths
are supported.
notebook.file (since 1.0)
The full path to the note database file, including the file name. Both
relative (e.g. "..\..\cintanotes.db") and absolute (e.g. "f:\cn\cn.db")
paths are supported.
sqlite.pragma.cache_size (since 1.0)
Controls how many database pages can be kept in memory and directly
influences how much memory the program will consume. Each page is
4096 bytes. The larger this value, the faster CintaNotes will work with
large databases, but also the more RAM will be consumed.
sqlite.pragma.synchronous (since 1.0)
Three possible values: FULL, NORMAL and OFF. If you experience frequent
DB corruption (might be relevant for unstable systems and hot-unplugged
USB drives), try setting this to NORMAL or FULL. CintaNotes will run
slower, waiting after each modification till the data is physically
written to disk before returning control to the user.
notebook.disconnect.enabled (since 1.1)
If set, CintaNotes will release the lock on the cintanotes.db file after
time period specified by notebook.disconnect.timeout.seconds, thus allowing
third-party software such as DropBox to read and synchronize it.
notebook.disconnect.timeout.seconds (since 1.1)
Specifies the number of seconds of inactivity, after which CintaNotes will
unlock the database file.
