Re: CPU Problem with /Startup Combined with Spell Check

Yes but here is the problem : (1) I want to backup the Mars Notebook database every evening while I sleep. (2) The database cannot be backed up while Notebook is running, so I have a batch file which closes Notebook and makes a backup of the database then re-opens Notebook minimized with /startup (3...

CPU Problem with /Startup Combined with Spell Check

I noticed that sometimes when Notebook loads with the /startup option the notebook.exe process is constantly using 25% CPU (on quad-core system). After much testing I found it happens when there are at least TWO spelling mistakes on the current sub-section AND the 'Check spelling as you type' is act...

Re: Start Minimized

Thanks!

I also figured out that if you combine /startup and /max then it starts minimized but when clicked it's maximized, just how I like it :)

Re: Start Minimized

I am using the latest version I think, from the 2.1 thread at the top of the forum. I would be happy to test a new version with spell checker CPU fixed. Unfortunately I still have a problem with starting it minimized - it works when I run the batch file manually, but not when the batch file is run b...

Re: Start Minimized

Thanks, I finally figured out the problem - you need to put the /startup parameter within quotes to make it work in a batch file, eg. start "" "C:\Program Files\Mars Notebook\Notebook.exe" "/startup" It's unusual because I have another batch file which starts Firefox wi...

Re: Start Minimized

Thanks, I can't use the first option in the preferences because I don't need it run at Windows boot, I need Notebook to run from a batch file (due to nightly backup of the Notebook database, so the program needs to be closed each time and then reopened after the backup) I was not aware of the comman...

Start Minimized

Hi,

Is there a way to start the program minimized (to notification area)? Even a command-line switch would be OK. This feature would be extremely useful, but I can't find any option for it.

Thanks,
Leo

Re: 100% CPU

I tried RC3 but still noticed the problem sometimes. Now I have maybe found the problem, well at least I found one situation where the problem can be reproduced every time, I don't know if there are also other situations where the problem happens. It's quite easy to see CPU go to 100%, just follow t...

Re: 100% CPU

Windows XP Mars Notebook v2.0 (that's what it says in the 'About' box) No new programs recently installed. It never happens when the program starts, it just happens at random times - sometimes it happens when I have Notebook open and am using it, but other times when I have been using Notebook recen...

100% CPU

Hello, I have been using Mars Notebook for a long time and it is great. Recently I've had a problem with my CPU going to 100% due to Mars Notebook, even when I'm not doing anything, and it stays at 100% for a long long time (minutes) - the problem is definitely Notebook because when I use 'File-Exit...

Limit # of Spell Suggestions

Hi, I am a big fan of Mars Notebook. In the past I was not using the Spell Check, but now I have turned it on and it works most of the time very well. But there is one problem, sometimes when I right-click a word, the program gives a massive long list of suggestions, it takes forever to get to the '...

Upgraded to 2.0, small glitch (blank space)

So I just upgraded, and I'm happy to report that the process went smoothly, no problems so I'm happy about that :-D I'm also very happy to finally have Ctrl-Y working correctly again... Just one small problem, every time I open the program there is a blank space at the top between the toolbars and t...

Re: Ctrl-Y Bug

It has been 4 months already since my last message. I still can't use Redo! I am not going to use the beta that you recommended, since the beta notes say "DON'T USE PASTE AS -> HTML! This does not work and you will loose current document." So if I use the beta and I accidentally click Past...

Ctrl-Y Bug

Hello, Ctrl-Y is assigned to both Redo and Stay on Top. In the File menu it shows that Ctrl-Y is for Stay on Top. In the Edit menu it shows that Ctrl-Y is for Redo. Of course not many people want to do both things at once :) I recommend that they have separate hotkeys :) Anyway right now Ctrl-Y only...
